A 24-year-old construction worker was trapped for hours in a trench collapse in California, requiring extensive rescue efforts amid extreme heat and unstable soil.
Firefighters worked in 10-minute rotations, battling heat as they carefully removed tons of loose gravel to free the trapped worker, who remained conscious throughout.
After six hours of intense rescue operations, firefighters successfully extracted the worker, who was later found to be in serious but stable condition at the hospital.
The incident, prompting an investigation by Cal/OSHA, highlights the dangers of trench work, especially under extreme weather conditions.
