Firefighters, police pull young woman from sewage-filled ravine after days trapped in 104-degree heat

A dramatic rescue operation in Texas saved a young woman’s life after she had been trapped for days in a steep ravine.

At about 5:25 p.m. local time on June 28, a young man heard faint cries for help coming from a wooded area behind a nearby high school.

While investigating the sounds, he found a young woman who had been trapped in a ravine for days, stuck in deep mud and sewage.

The Dallas Police Department and Dallas Fire-Rescue immediately launched a joint operation, with first responders facing 104-degree heat and navigating a quarter-mile of treacherous terrain to reach the woman.

Rescuers were able to pull the woman out of the muck and rushed her to a local hospital, where she was treated for severe dehydration, prolonged sun exposure and other injuries.

It is unclear how the woman got stuck.

In a statement Monday, the Dallas Police Department praised the heroic joint effort.

“The well-being of the Dallas community is not something that’s handled by a single agency,” the Dallas Police Department wrote in an X post. “It takes a collaborative effort from multiple teams and organizations working side-by-side to ensure every person’s safety.”

The department extended its sincere thanks to the officers, firefighters and paramedics whose “swift action and joint effort saved a young woman who was in desperate need of help.”
