Fire Crews Rescue Woman After She Falls Into Toilet

A Washington woman had to be rescued by fire crews after she fell headfirst into an outhouse toilet while trying to retrieve a lost cell phone. According to the Brinnon Fire Department, the woman was visiting a popular hiking destination on Washington's Olympic Peninsula when she dropped her phone into a so-called vault toilet. The non-flush toilets store waste in a vault underground. One failed attempt to grab the phone caused her to slid into the toilet and get stuck. She managed to find her phone and call 911 after 20 minutes inside the vault. Fire crews were able to pull her to safety. She was washed down and given a Hazmat suit to wear. The woman declined further medical treatment before continuing on her way.
