A Marysville child is in the hospital after falling 6 feet from a first story window onto concrete. Marysville firefighters responded Tuesday afternoon to reports of a toddler who had fallen from the window. The child was flown to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. He was in critical condition Tuesday night. Firefighters warn families to always check windows and install locks or guards to help prevent windows from fully opening and potentially becoming a safety risk. Window screens are not strong enough to support the full weight of a child, fire officials say. Officials also recommend moving furniture away from windows to help prevent kids from climbing on them. Officials say to not move a child if they do fall to prevent possibly worsening the injuries and to instead call 911.
