BOSTON (CBS) -- A 12-year-old boy was rescued by family members after nearly drowning at his birthday party.
Friends and family of the child were gathered at the boy's grandfather's house in Plymouth for a barbecue on Saturday.
But the child somehow ended up face down at the bottom of the pool--and that's when his uncle dove in.
"They pulled him out of the pool," said Lt. Michael Connor of the Plymouth Fire Department. "They revived the child. After a few minutes, he spit up some pool water and regained consciousness."
Firefighters said the boy was breathing by the time paramedics arrived.
He was reportedly alert but a little groggy, so he was taken to a nearby hospital to be checked out.
