Sedona Fire Department officials report an infant drowned after falling into a pool. The incident occurred last Saturday. First responders were dispatched to a home in the Village of Oak Creek around 6 PM. They performed life-saving measures on the infant before taking the child to the Verde Valley Medical Center. The infant, however, did not survive.
Sedona Fire officials urge everyone to have an adult present when children are in or near a swimming pool. Barriers should also be put up around pools with alarms that go off when the gate is opened.
