News Release from: Clackamas Fire Dist. #1
CHILD FALLS INTO CRAWL SPACE IN OREGON CITY
Posted: June 18th, 2013 6:16 AM
Last night, shortly before 6:00pm a three year old girl fell 5-6 feet into a crawl space of a home at 14832 Meyers Rd in Oregon City. It was reported that the little girl was playing under the stairs, near the crawl space hatch with her brother at the time of the fall. The child's mother was viewing the home with their realtor when the incident occurred.
Clackamas Fire crews were able to easily make access to the patient and take necessary precautions to immobilize her and quickly remove her from the crawl space. The patient was briefly treated on scene before being transferred to Life Flight and transported to Doernbecher Children's Hospital. The child is currently in critical condition yet improving.
It is important to remember and Clackamas Fire would like to remind people, that while a five to six foot fall may seem insignificant it should be considered a serious event for small children. If your child falls and you are concerned, please call 911 for an evaluation or have your child checked by your health care provider.
