Mock Drowning Event With Phoenix Fire

April 21, 2022 12:00 PM

​Drownings are tragic and preventable. Over the last three years, the city of Phoenix has seen an increase in water safety incidents and deaths in our pediatric population.
As of March, the city has already experienced five fatal pediatric drownings.
This trend must stop. In hopes of preventing these tragedies, the Phoenix Fire Department has launched a new campaign called, “Drowning Zero".


Drowning Zero has a vision to eliminate the number of both adult and pediatric drownings through education, supervision, and community action. That means zero children unsupervised, zero barriers to pool visibility, and zero access to unsafe bodies of water.
As first responders, we know this vision is not possible without the community's help. That includes community stakeholders.
