Kansas Toddler Rescued After Falling Down 9-Foot Pipe

Emergency crews devised a makeshift tool to save the 14-month-old boy trapped in a narrow PVC pipe.

The toddler fell into the pipe while playing in his yard, slipping through a loose manhole cover.
Rescuers used a PVC pipe and rope to create a catch pole to lift the child out safely.
The boy was unharmed and reunited with his relieved parents after the dramatic rescue.
First responders faced challenges as the boy initially resisted their attempts to secure him.
The incident highlighted the quick thinking and collaboration of the Moundridge emergency teams.
