A 2-year-old died after falling into a septic tank at a Texas RV park, despite a frantic rescue effort by emergency crews and bystanders, authorities said.
The Rockport Volunteer Fire Department said firefighters were dispatched to Paradise Lagoons RV park in Aransas Pass, Texas, around 5:30 p.m. for a child who had fallen into a septic tank.Firefighters found the girl in the water about 15 feet below ground, the department said in a statement. Bystanders in the park had tried and failed to rescue the child, and emergency crews made several urgent attempts to get to her as well, assisted by civilians using shovels and backhoes, the department said.
About an hour after emergency crews arrived, a firefighter was lowered into the tank and reached the child with assistance from the Ingleside Volunteer Fire Department's specialized rope rescue team, the Rockport Fire Department said.The girl had been underwater for a significant period of time, the department said, and had died by the time firefighters removed her from the septic tank.
