2 year old boy in critical condition after falling into the Phoenix pool

A 2-year-old boy was in critical condition Sunday afternoon after the Phoenix Fire Department said he fell into a pool in a house near 35 ave and Peoria.

The boy had sunk in the pool for an undisclosed period of time, Phoenix Fire Department captain Kenny Overton wrote in an email.

The Phoenix police officers, who were the first to arrive at the scene, began resuscitation efforts for the boy until fire officers arrived to take control, Overton said.

The boy was rushed to hospital and was in critical condition at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, he said.

No further details about the incident were given.

According to the child safety zone, six people, including two children, have died from water-related incidents in Maricopa and Pinal counties so far this year.
