Janesville firefighter Christopher “Chris” Lloyd rescued a woman stuck in an elevator a few years ago.
The woman noticed the name on his jacket and asked if he was related to Gary Lloyd.
Chris responded that Gary, a retired Janesville firefighter, is his father.
The woman’s face lit up, and she told Chris that his father had saved her life.
In 1974, Gary responded to an emergency call for a toddler who was not breathing.
When Gary arrived at the home, he found the child, who had turned blue.
Gary, one of the city’s first paramedics, checked the toddler’s airway and found that she had choked on a quarter. He removed the coin, started chest compressions and saved the baby’s life.
