Dog Rescued From Edgewater Sinkhole By Firefighters: Video
Anne Arundel County firefighters had to lower a rescuer into an 8-foot sinkhole to free Siri, a collie trapped in Edgewater.
EDGEWATER, MD — A collie named Siri had an unfortunate and memorable walk Saturday when it fell into an 8-foot deep sinkhole in the 2000 block of Shore Drive in Edgewater. Between the depth of the hole and its muddy condition, the dog couldn't climb out and crews from the Anne Arundel County Fire Department and the Annapolis City Fire Department responded to the rescue.
A firefighter was lowered into the two feet by two feet hole to carry Siri up to safety. Members of the Special Operations Confined Space Rescue Team successfully removed the apparently uninjured dog in about 90 minutes, and it was reunited with its owners.
Here's video of the firefighter and Siri emerging from the hole:
