A woman who fell into a septic tank near a Fontana, California, mobile home was stuck for two hours before being rescued by emergency crews on Thursday.

Someone called 911 around 9:45 a.m. after hearing cries from a deep pit.

“A 40-year-old woman was about 25 feet down in what we think was an old or unused sewage tank,” said Eric Sherwin, a spokesperson for San Bernardino County Fire.

The woman stayed conscious and spoke to the rescuers as they worked to free her, San Bernardino County Fire shared on X, the new Twitter.

“We treated this as a confined space rescue with a possible trench risk because the septic tank had no reinforcement,” Sherwin said. “We faced the danger of having debris fall from those walls and bury both the woman and any rescuers entering that pit.”

The woman — who had a harness and a helmet on — was pulled out of the hole using a rope system just after 11:45 a.m.

She was rushed to a nearby hospital. Her condition was not known, but Sherwin said the woman had leg injuries.
