SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A one year old baby was found unconscious in a "blow up" swimming pool today by the baby’s father. The father pulled the lifeless baby from the pool. Fortunately, the father had been trained in CPR and he began the life saving process.

Sacramento Fire Department Paramedics responded and quickly transported the child to a local hospital. The child is in serious condition, however it seems very likely because of the quick CPR by the father and the rapid response by the Sacramento Fire Department, this child will probably survive and be OK.

The Sacramento Fire Department wishes to remind everyone with the approaching warm weather and the water activities that will follow, it is of the utmost importance to keep a close eye on all children when they are near any water. Life jackets should be worn at all times. CPR training, as evident by this call, is a valuable tool that can benefit everyone.
