Authorities in Washington said firefighters had to rescue a California woman who fell into a toilet at a national park while trying to retrieve her cellphone.
The Brinnon Fire Department said on its Facebook page that on April 19 at 3 p.m., a woman in her 40s was using the restroom at Olympic National Forest when she dropped her cellphone into the toilet."Eventually, she took the leashes to help support herself, which failed, and she slid into and fell into the vault head first," the fire department said.
After trying for about 15 to 20 minutes to get herself out, she could grab her cell phone and call 911 for help."The crews made a makeshift cribbing platform by passing them down to the patient," the Brinnon Fire Department said."After making it tall enough for her to stand on, the crew pulled the victim to safety.
