Firefighters rescue 4-year-old boy stuck in well for hours in Texas By KRGV Staff | December 10, 2020 at 7:35 AM MST - Updated December 10 at 7:41 AM
STARR COUNTY, Texas (KRGV) – It took firefighters six hours to rescue a 4-year-old boy in Texas on Tuesday.
He’d fallen down a well that was way too small for anyone to go in after him.
“It was actually 44 feet deep, and the child had fallen 9 1/2 feet into that hole,” said Edinburg Fire Department Chief Shawn Snider.
Snider said the well was too dark to even see the child when he arrived. He said the only option to rescue him was to start digging next to the well with shovels and air-operated hammers.
