First-responders were called to a home on Winding Way on a report of a drowning, according to Chief Anthony Vecchio of the West Orange Fire Department. 

When first-responders arrived, the child had been rescued and was breathing on its own, Vecchio said. The child was then taken to an area hospital. 

Information on the child's condition or on additional circumstances surrounding the incident was not immediately available Friday afternoon.
