San Fernando Woman Trapped In Chimney Freed By LAFD Firefighters
Los Angeles, United States - August 06, 2025 08/05/2025 06:45 pm GMT-0700 SAN FERNANDO, Calif. – A woman is free and safe after firefighters rescued her from inside a chimney Tuesday evening. The incident took place in the 200 block of Park Avenue in the city of San Fernando when a woman was reportedly dancing on a rooftop before witnesses say she fell and became trapped inside a chimney. San Fernando Police officers requested Los Angeles Fire Department firefighters (LAFD) to respond to the scene to free the trapped woman. After a long and tedious preparation, firefighters hoisted the woman out of the chimney. All of this happened in front of a crowd of parkgoers, as the chimney belongs to a historical building within the San Fernando Recreational Park. San Fernando Police Sgt. Brian Woodward described on-camera how the woman dancing on the roof and falling into the chimney stood out among many situations in his career. Parkgoer Israel Olivas saw the woman on the roof, taking off her clothes, before hearing the woman screaming for help from inside the chimney. Solve the daily Crossword

Los Angeles firefighters free woman trapped inside chimney at San Fernando park
Los Angeles firefighters on Tuesday rescued a woman who was trapped inside of a small chimney at a park in San Fernando. They were called to Recreation Park, located in the 200 block of Park Avenue, at around 7:30 p.m. after learning of the approximately 30-year-old woman who was found about three-feet deep inside of a chimney," said a news release from LAFD. Crews said that she was conscious and alert as she was stabilized and prepared for rescue. They hoisted her to safety "via skillful use of a rope system" from within the "chimney/exhaust flue atop a small municipal outbuilding," said another LAFD release. The woman was taken to a nearby hospital in fair condition, firefighters said. San Fernando Police Department officers were investigating the matter, as the woman did not seem to be affiliated with the city's parks and recreation department that was using the outbuilding for storage at the park. Investigators say that they were called to the scene for reports of a woman who was dancing and waving her arms on the roof before she climbed into the chimney and got stuck. Other people at the park called 911 after hearing her screaming from inside. They did not say if she would be charged for the incident. There was no structural damage to the building during the rescue, according to LAFD.
