Toddler falls more than 10 feet down into sump pump drain; rescued by first responders [Video]

A toddler was rescued Sunday afternoon after getting stuck underground in a PVC pipe, officials said.

Emergency responders in Moundridge, Kansas, “acted swiftly and worked diligently for approximately 15-20 minutes to safely recover the child,” the Moundridge Police Department said in a press release.

The 14-month-old boy was “understandably shaken,” but was not injured in the incident, police said.

The boy fell into the sump pump drain while playing outside, according to Wichita, Kansas, ABC affiliate KAKE.

“Kids are always a concern, especially small kids,” Moundridge EMS Director Brian Falco told KAKE. “He doesn’t communicate. He doesn’t follow instructions. It’s not like an adult.”
