A three-year-old boy was rushed to the hospital on Sunday afternoon after a tragic fall from the third story of a home in Manchester, New Hampshire. The incident occurred shortly after 1:00 p.m., prompting a swift response from emergency crews.
According to Manchester Fire Chief Ryan Cashin, the boy fell approximately 30 feet from a third-floor window. Upon arrival at the scene, first responders were met by the boy’s father, who reported the fall. The child had sustained significant head and facial injuries as a result of the fall.
The young boy was immediately transported to a nearby hospital for treatment. The extent of his injuries is currently unknown, but the prompt response from emergency personnel was crucial in ensuring he received the necessary medical attention as quickly as possible.
Fire Chief Cashin stated that the fall appears to be accidental, though details surrounding how the boy fell out of the window remain unclear. Authorities are likely to conduct a thorough investigation to understand the circumstances that led to the incident and to ensure that any potential safety hazards are addressed.
The community is reminded of the importance of window safety, especially in homes with young children. The tragic incident underscores the need for window guards or stops to prevent children from falling out of windows.
