Since 2006 the Contra Costa Fire Protection District responded to over 30 drowning or near-drowning incidents, resulting in 12 deaths and 18 saved lives. To prevent injury and loss of life due to drowning and near-drowning incidents, the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District established a Pool Safety Council in September 2009.
The vision of the Pool Safety Council is to lead an organized and focused drowning education and prevention effort in Contra Costa County that will reduce child drowning incidents.
