ORLANDO, Fla. – A 1-year-old boy was resuscitated after almost drowning at a home in Orlando in Orange County.

"Ma'am is he awake and breathing? Yes or no?"
"I don't know I can't go out there sir," a caller told the dispatcher.
Sky 6 captured where it happened but not how the heart-wrenching moment unfolded during a birthday celebration.

Only seconds stood between a family trying to revive the toddler who nearly drowned in a backyard pool.

The child was transported to Arnold Palmer Hospital in Orlando. Officials with Orange County Fire Rescue said the child is doing fine.
More children die of accidental drowning in Florida than in any other state.
