The Walnut Hill Station of Escambia Fire Rescue responded to a reported drowning about 11:30 a.m. in the 6300 block of Pine Barren Road, near Northview High School.

One of the toddler’s relatives reportedly heard her fall into an above ground swimming pool behind their mobile home and was able to get her out of the pool in just a few seconds. The 15-month old was reported to be conscious and alert when first responders arrived.

The child was transported by Atmore Ambulance to Atmore Community Hospital in stable condition.

    Where does it say the mother performed CPR? All I read was that a relative heard her fall in and had her out in SECONDS. She required CPR? Maybe firefighter knows something that didn’t get reported. Glad she is OK.

    This story just reinforces my decision to cover our pool when my 18 month old granddaughter moved into our home. We covered our pool with katchakid. Thank God they got to this baby in time.
