Fire department: Boy nearly drowned in Goodyear pool

A 2-year-old boy is in critical condition after being pulled from a Goodyear pool on Tuesday.

Goodyear Fire Battalion Chief Russ Braden said the family lost of track of the boy at the home, located near Van Buren St. and Sarvial Ave., for about five minutes.

“This was the grandmother’s home and the mother and father of this child were staying there temporarily,” he said. “They did have a pool fence installed, but the child managed to get past the pool fence somehow. We don’t know if it was left open.”

It is unknown how long the boy was in the pool.

Braden said the boy was flown to Thunderbird Samaritan Hospital. He had a heart beat, but was not breathing and is in critical condition.
