CHICAGO, Ill. — An off-duty Chicago firefighter is being called a hero Sunday morning after saving a baby’s life. Chicago fire department lieutenant Steve O’Malley was at the right place at the right time on Saturday when a strong gust of wind blew a baby strapped in a stroller right into Lake Michigan and the firefighter quickly jumped into action.
O’Malley was spending a Saturday afternoon tending to his boat when he was un-expectedly called to duty.
“I was determined that the baby was not going to go down on my watch,” O’Malley said. That’s how he described his heroic efforts that helped to save the life of a child.
