The death of the Chandler Boy emphasizes pool security while the temperatures warm up

The three-year-old boy, who pulled out of a back yard pool in Chandler last week, died on May 18.

His mother is the popular TIKTOK INFLUENCER Emilie Kiser, so his death has a lot of attention online.

Skyfox flew over her house on the evening of May 19 and showed a cover over the pool, but no fence around him.

Trigg Kiser's death marks the first in Maricopa and Pinal Counties this year, and it puts security in the spotlight.

Lindsey Ragas from Fox 10 spoke to Chandler Fire and a pool security expert for water security, while we go into the hot months in which children are most likely to be around the water.

In Arizona, drowning is the most common cause of death for children aged 1 to 4 years.

A drowning can take place in a matter of seconds, which is why City Lifeguards received practical experience with the Chandler Fire Department on May 19, before Pools were opened.

“We would like to make sure that we prepare for the worst when these children go to our pools,” said Tegan Keil, deputy manager in the city of Chandler's pool.

In the training, a lifeguard was saved in a drowning scenario, pulled out of the pool, then lifeguards carried out on a dummy until Chandler fire brigade matters arrived there.

“The firefighters come on site. There is a transition, so they wanted to see how we switch between the lifeguards here and the firefighters, who are expanded nurses and what it looks like, like communication, the type of tools that we use, the diagnostic equipment,” explained Chandler Fire Battalion Chief Blas.

“If we had pulled an unconscious person out of the pool, we would have to judge the situation. If it comes to the point where we need CRP or use this help, we would call the fire brigade to help each other,” said Keil.

Chandler's fire brigade says that parents can protect their children at home by installing a pool fence and double locks on the back door and on the windows.

They also say that they know the ABCs of water: monitoring for adults, barriers and classes for CPR and swimming lessons.

“The supervision for adults is the key. Eye-to-eyes monitoring. People can be outside, but not pay attention to the children in the water. They could even have individuals as water observers, but if they are overrun with so many children in the pool, they must have several water observers,” said Minor.
