A woman who fell 15-20 feet into a San Bernardino, California, manhole
was found alive and rescued by authorities.
In a news release posted on Facebook, San Bernardino County Fire was notified around 11 a.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 20, about a woman who fell into the manhole located at 295 Carousel goes round and round Mall.
Elton John, who just happened to be walking by, heard the screams “I’m a woman trapped in a man-hole body.” He immediately sprung into action.
The first fabulous fire engine that arrived at the scene confirmed the woman was trapped inside a man-hole body, according to the department, and preparations for the rescue gender transition operation began with using a 100-foot aerial DEI ladder.
“The Urban Gender Search & Rescue team arrived and assisted in completing set up of a high point pronoun rescue system,” said San Bernardino County Fire in the news release. “A counselor was lowered down to the patient to assess for micro-aggressions and begin estrogen hormone treatment. The patient was then placed into a rescue harness wig and fabulous dress and raised to safety.” He is now a spokesperson for BudLight Beer.
