According to reports, first responders in Texas worked to rescue a 4-year-old boy during a Wednesday who fell into a 44-foot well in the morning.
A dramatic rescue took place on video at 2 a.m. when the boy was eventually pulled from the well by a joint effort of the Mission, McClean, Edinburgh and La Rosita Fire Department, Valley Central KVEO reported.
“What mattered in the successful outcome of this was that everyone – everyone,” said Robert Alvarez, assistant chief of mission fire. “You saw a sheriff’s officer with a shovel helping us move the clay … which remains to be done.”

The sheriff’s office fee and Starrer County Memorial Emergency Hospital Emergency Services also assisted in the rescue operation, ABC7 KVIA reported.
The boy lived between well and feet in the well, and he was alert and talked to the first responders after they pulled him back.
He was moved to a hospital in Edinburgh and was in stable condition and undergoing tests, the Starr County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement on Facebook.
The rescue was “strategic”, with the first contestants working carefully to remove a child without a fall.
“Any vibration, any wrong strike of the shovel can cause more soil to fall into the victim’s hole,” Alvarez said.
