It was a frightening scene this morning in Cornelia as emergency crews responded to a report of a near-drowning at a local daycare facility.
At 10:37 a.m. Habersham 911 received a call reporting that a 4-year-old drowned at Foundation Academy.
Habersham County Emergency Services, Cornelia Fire and Police and Demorest Fire responded and arrived to find the child out of the water and conscious.
Witnesses at the scene told first responders CPR was administered after the child was pullled from the pool.
“Due to the information provided, and circumstances of age and near drowning, Air Life was requested and the child flown to Children’s Health Care of Atlanta Scottish Rite Campus,” says Habersham Emergency Services Director Chad Black.
Authorities have not released the child’s name and no other information was immediately available about the child’s condition.
