‘A Christmas Miracle’ as Texas Boy, 4, Is Rescued After Spending 6 Hours Trapped in a Well The residents of Garciño, Texas, are celebrating a Christmas miracle after a 4-year-old boy, trapped for six hours in a well in FM 649 at a ranch property, was successfully rescued by first responders. After spending hours digging him out from the 8-to-10-inch-wide well hole, the multi-organizational crew’s efforts were met with applause as they passed the child up to safety. He was crying but had not sustained any serious injuries. Mission Assistant Fire Chief Robert Alvarez told The Monitor that his department received a call from the Starr County Sheriff’s Office and La Rosita Fire Department around 5 p.m. on Dec. 8. Alvarez arrived on the scene to find that first responders had already started digging.
