Shrubbery Breaks Children's Fall From Second Story Window

Two Petaluma toddlers who fell from a second-story window Monday evening were transported to hospitals for treatment, according to the fire department.

A boy, 3, and girl, 2, were in an upstairs bedroom at Baywood Arms Apartments, at 1116 Baywood Drive, when they toppled through a window screen, falling onto a bush below in a bark-covered planter area, at about 6:35 p.m.

Family members inside the home's first level did not witness the fall but heard the children's crying outside the front door, according to the fire department.

Petaluma fire paramedics assessed the children's injuries, and because of the distance of the toddlers' fall, the children were transported to hospitals.

The girl was airlifted to Children's Hospital and Research Center in Oakland, and the boy was transported by ambulance to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital.
