1. Firefighters rescue man trapped in storm drain
Firefighters from Colorado Springs rescued a man on Monday after he became
trapped in a storm drain. He was not injured but police planned on questioning him.
The man said that he was working in a sewer line and couldn't find his way out of the
storm drain. A passerby heard him shouting for help from the storm drain opening and
called the rescuers. The man soon find his way out and climbed the ladder with the help
of the firefighters. The Fire Lt. Robert Coffey said that it's not uncommon for children to
be playing in them and people becoming trapped in the storm drains. The drains can be
dangerous even if the day seems to be clear because water from a storm on the
otherside of town could come through.
