Yunnan firefighters work 10 hours to rescue 2-year-old from well

Firefighters in southwest China's Yunnan Province have rescued a 2-year-old girl who fell into a 15-meter-deep well 12 meters deep.

The girl became trapped after falling 12 meters into the deserted well on June 2 in Mengzi in Yunnan's Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture.

Firefighters used an excavator and worked 10 hours to rescue the girl from the well, which has a diameter of just 40 centimeters, making the rescue more difficult.

The firefighters took turns to go down the hole dug by the excavator and break the well's pipes, eventually leading to the girl's safe rescue.

The girl was immediately taken to the hospital and is now in a stable condition.
