Fire crews prepare to use a chisel to free a trapped child from a concrete pipe.
A Fort Myers child needed to be rescued after getting stuck in a concrete sewer pipe Monday night.
Firefighters from South Trail Fire Protection District received a call for a child trapped in a concrete sewer pipe in a construction site. The child slipped, got his foot trapped and was unable to remove it.
Due to the complexity of the incident, resources were summoned from surrounding agencies including members of Florida USAR Task Force 6 who were already on duty.
After evaluation it was determined the best way to free the child was to purposefully chisel and remove pieces of concrete.
The child was safely extricated and turned over to his parents with only minor injuries.
