Reșița: 14-year-old boy rescued from four-meter well

A 14-year-old boy was rescued after falling into a four-meter-deep well in Reșița, Romania. The incident occurred on Thursday afternoon while the minor was attempting to clean the well in his home courtyard.

During the cleaning process, several stones collapsed on top of him. When emergency responders from the ISU Semenic detachment arrived, the boy was found in a dry well, partially buried in soil up to his waist. Despite the critical nature of the situation, the victim remained conscious and cooperative.

Firefighters utilized specialized extraction techniques to remove the boy while preventing further soil collapses. Following his successful extraction, SMURD paramedics provided immediate medical care on-site before transporting him to the Reșița Emergency Unit (UPU) for comprehensive medical evaluation.
