Recently, a man in his 60s in Yulin, Shaanxi, was accidentally buried and trapped at the bottom of a deep well while working. The Suide Fire Station in Yulin, Shaanxi, immediately rushed to the scene for rescue.

Upon reconnaissance, it was found that the well at the scene was 12 meters deep with a diameter of 0.75 meters, and the space inside the well was narrow. The man was buried and trapped when the well wall collapsed as he entered the well to replace a water pump.

Fire and rescue personnel immediately launched a rescue plan and conducted environmental monitoring of the underground space. After confirming that there were no toxic or harmful gases, rescuers used a rescue tripod to enter the well and dig manually. To speed up the rescue, and under the condition of ensuring a highly safe rescue environment, local residents also actively participated in the rescue, working together with firefighters to manually remove the collapsed sand and stones.

After 4 hours of digging, the trapped person was successfully freed from being buried, safely hoisted and transferred to the ground. After examination and treatment of his injuries by on-site medical personnel, he was sent to the hospital for further treatment.
