Naked Woman Rescued after Getting Herself Trapped in Ex's Chimney

Breaking up is hard to do, but apparently breaking in is even harder.

Riverside County firefighters were called early Saturday morning to rescue a naked woman trapped in her ex-boyfriend’s chimney in Woodcrest. It took 23 firefighters and three fire engines two hours to take apart the chimney brick by brick to free the shivering 35-year-old.

According to the Riverside County Fire Department, the unidentified woman tried the front door, and when that didn’t work out, she stripped and tried to shimmy down the chimney.

The unwitting ex-boyfriend Tony Hernandez told told CBS Los Angeles he heard the woman crying for help shortly before 5 a.m.

“She said, ‘I’m trapped in the chimney,’” Hernandez told CBS. “I tried to get her out, but it was too hard.”

The Riverside County Sheriff’s Department investigated the matter, and determined that no crime had occurred Deputy Albert Martinez told Patch.
