The fast actions of a father saved a two-year-old girl who had fallen into a septic tank on Saturday.

The girl's father quickly pulled his daughter out of the tank and rinsed her off with a garden hose.

On Saturday around 5:30 p.m., OPP, West Perth detachment and Perth County Paramedics arrived at the trailer park south of Fullarton after the young girl had fallen.

She was taken to a local hospital as a precaution and was unharmed after the incident.

Perth County OPP are reminding residents to make sure that their septic tank lids are always secure.
