GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. — Gwinnett County firefighters spent several hours Tuesday night freeing a child’s arm from a swimming pool vacuum line.
Crews sent to an apartment complex pool in the 1700 block of Winter Brook Court near Norcross just before 8:30 p.m. found the 8-year-old girl’s wrist stuck in the line. Firefighters cut the concrete to reach the tube and the girl’s arm.
The child was freed from the concrete about 11:20 p.m. and was taken to a local hospital to have the pipe removed from her arm, Gwinnett fire Lt. Eric Eberly said.
