LANSFORD -- A child is recovering after a near drowning in Carbon County

Police say an 8-year-old boy from Coaldale had to be rescued Wednesday from the water at the Lansford community pool.

Lifeguards and a bystander, Randa Kehl, helped keep the little boy alive. He was taken a hospital and is expected to be released.

"We should all just be thankful that the little boy is alive, because he had no pulse," said Kehl.

"Everything that was done was done by our staff who are all certified and have all the certification which is required, so we were very happy with the outcome," said Lansford council member Rosemary Cannon.

The pool was closed on Thursday because of weather.

Things are expected to go back to normal at the Lansford community pool on Friday.
