Two separate rescue efforts this Labor Day in South Milwaukee brought emergency vehicles to Grant Park.
A captain with the South Milwaukee Fire Department says both accidents involved children and in this vast park, they were just 100 yards apart.
The first happened right along the water. The captain says a girl was struggling to stay afloat. The waves were choppy even hours after the accident, making it hard for her to swim.
Her brother jumped in and rescued her before firefighters arrived.
South Milwaukee firefighters were almost back at the station when another call came in, this for a girl who'd been climbing on a rock pile and fell, hitting her head.
The two accidents resulted in a lot of community concern online and at the park.
