walk over to nearby individuals in the area and call for help, the North County Fire Authority (NCFA)
spokesman said.

located the women and dogs, but they couldn't perform a rescue because
the dogs were very aggressive and protective of the woman, the NCFA
spokesman said.

The Coast Guard's helicopter got to the scene around 5 a.m., but rough winds delayed the rescue for almost two hours, a spokesman for the U.S. Coast Guard Pacific Southwest told ABC News. A rescue swimmer was finally able to come down from the helicopter around 6:45 a.m. and get the woman onto a sling, he said... ... ... The woman was transported to a medical facility at the San Francisco International Airport, the Coast Guard spokesman said.
