20-month-old girl pulled from Goodyear pool in critical condition

PHOENIX — A 20-month-old pulled from a Goodyear pool Friday was hospitalized in critical condition, authorities said.

Tim Wayne, deputy Goodyear Fire chief, said the girl was unaccounted for at a home near Bethany Home and Citrus roads for about 20 minutes.

When crews responded around 7:30 a.m., family members were performing CPR, he said.

“Reports from family state that they had a self-closing door on the backside of the house,” Wayne told KTAR News 92.3 FM.

“No perimeter fencing. However, that self-closing door, in most cases, should be adequate.”

No other information was immediately available.
