ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA, JUL 8 – St. Paul firefighters rescued a man trapped 10 to 12 feet underground for three to four days using a rope system, officials said.

  • The St. Paul Fire Department rescued a man trapped about 10 to 12 feet underground in a sewer on July 8, 2025, in St. Paul, Minnesota.
  • The man had been stuck for approximately three to four days and was likely found after someone nearby heard him calling for help, though how he ended up there remains unclear.
