A six-year-old girl is recovering in the hospital after falling into a frozen pond over the weekend. 

She may not be alive today, if it wasn't for the quick action of a neighbor who saw what happened to her and two other children. 

Deputy Blaine Moulton for the Arapahoe Co. Sheriff's Office said, "I just count it as I was at the right place at the right time."

Arapahoe County Sheriff's Deputies and first responders are credited as heroes after responding just minutes after three children fell into an icy pond Sunday afternoon near their home in the Addison at Cherry Creek apartments.

One of the children was a six-year-old girl, who wasn't breathing when they arrived. 

Moments after the Deputies arrived they started performing CPR. Deputy Justin Dillard stated, "It's hard to see a six-year-old girl whose face is blue with her eyes open and not responding and not breathing."

Amazingly the three children, all related, who fell into the frigid water are alive. The little girl is still in the hospital is in stable condition. 

Deputy Justin Dillard said, "Even though that's that's not a situation we necessarily step into every day, we revert back to what we were trained to do, and were able to execute what needed to be done."

Heroes doing what they are trained to do. The bravest hero, however, had no training at all.

Dusti Talavera, the children's neighbor saw them fall into the frigid water from her window. 

"I just kind of put some shoes on and ran out." Talavera said. 

Talavera jumped into the pond and pulled two children out. A four-year-old boy, and an elevin-year-old girl. She struggled to save the six-year-old girl, but thanks to a teenage bystander, they saved her from drowning. 

"I just knew that nobody, you know, nobody was really outside. So I mean, I was gonna, it was me. I just knew it was me that had to do it." Stated Talavera.

Investigators estimate that the girl had been under water for a few minutes. 

Talavera said that no matter who was in trouble, she would have helped. "They are kids, you know, I mean, anybody really, but yeah, I would have helped anybody."

Cory Sudden from the South Metro Fire Rescue has no doubt that Talavera is a hero. "What she did was amazing. We were back at the fire station talking about how brave she was."

Sudden states how important it is that every neighborhood have someone like Talavera. "I hope if this happened to one of mine that somebody like her was close by."
