Woman rescued after getting stuck upside down in chimney [Breaking]
A 30-year-old woman was stuck upside down in a chimney in San Diego’s Paradise Hills neighborhood for about an hour Sunday until fire crews were able to rescue her, authorities said.
The incident unfolded about 5 p.m. after the woman’s mother summoned police to a home on Alleghany Street west of Reo Drive. She said her daughter was causing a disturbance and then stated that her daughter had crawled into the chimney, police said. Inside the chimney the woman got stuck upside down. Her head ended up about 6 feet off the ground and her feet were about 8 to 10 feet from the top of the chimney, San Diego Fire-Rescue Battalion Chief Tommy Charpentier told OnScene TV.
Fire crews climbed onto the roof and used a tripod equipped with ropes to hoist the woman out. Then they carried her onto a basket, which was placed on a ladder and lowered to the ground. The rescue took at least a half-hour.Charpentier said crews — which included firefighters from National City and Chula Vista — wanted to work quickly to try to ensure the woman’s condition wouldn’t deteriorate, but they also had to work carefully to not harm her.
