The second fall happened happened around 3:50 p.m. at a home on SE Lawnfield in Sunnyside. Firefighters said a five-year-old child pushed out a screen and fell.
It's not clear how far the child fell. Firefighters said the child was conscious and breathing when they showed up.
Just two days ago another child fell out of a window in Happy Valley. In that case a 4-year-old boy was kicking a window screen from a bunk bed that was also next to a window. He fell about 15 feet and had to be taken to the hospital.
