GLENDALE, Ore. — Officials say a Grants Pass woman has been rescued after falling through a wooden cover on an old, deep well and spending several hours partly submerged in the water.
The Daily Courier reports that Glendale fire Chief Roy Milburn says the woman was rescued Monday by a group of firefighters and personnel from the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office.
He says the woman was “in pretty good shape” for spending four hours in the well but was hypothermic and taken to a hospital.
A nearby resident in Glendale had heard the woman screaming and called for help.
Milburn says the group lowered him into the well and attached the woman to a rope and pulled her to safety.
He says the well may have been 190 feet deep.
