She was identified as two-year-old Celeste Molina who was found not breathing at a home near the intersection of 35th Avenue and Deer Valley Road.
According to a report, the family said she may have been in the water for 10 minutes.
Crews responded to the report of the unconscious girl around 4:30 p.m., according to Phoenix Fire captain Todd Keller.
