Drowning is Silent – Let’s Prevent It!

As firefighters, we hear the tragic stories far too often—another drowning or near-drowning in Metro Phoenix. What’s shocking? These accidents often happen with adults and experienced swimmers nearby.

Drowning is silent. It’s not like the movies—no kicking, no screaming—just a child slipping under the water unnoticed. If the fire department is called, it’s already too late.

Let’s be proactive and water-safe!  Here’s how:
Assign a Water Watcher at all times
Use barriers (self-closing gates, pool covers)
Teach kids to swim early
Learn CPR—seconds matter!

Together, we can prevent drowning tragedies. Contact us to schedule water safety education for your home or community today!
