Overview
- A 2-year-old boy was pulled from a backyard pool at a home near 15th and Glendale avenues just before 7 p.m. Monday.
- The boy's mother, a nurse, performed CPR until firefighters arrived, took over care, and rushed him to the hospital in extremely critical condition.
- During the transfer to hospital staff, the child was breathing on his own, and by 9:30 p.m. his injuries were no longer considered life-threatening.
- Phoenix police are investigating the circumstances of the incident and report no suspicious factors at this time, with the length of submersion still unknown.
- Fire officials urged CPR certification, proper four-foot self-closing pool barriers, and constant adult supervision, noting chopper footage showed a fence around the pool.
