CARVER, Mass. — The Carver Fire Department responded to Bates Pond Monday evening, for reports of a person stuck in the mud.
Crews arrived at the pond shortly after 6:30 p.m. to find “a young adult stuck up to his chest in the mud” according to a Facebook post by the Carver Fire Department. The post goes on to say that the person was “conscious and alert, but in distress.”
Firefighters dressed in survival gear and used a small boat to reach the person.
“The person had been stuck in the mud for about an hour before anyone was notified” according to the Carver Fire Department.
Crews used tools including ropes and other rescue equipment, along with “brute strength” and “some firefighter ingenuity” to eventually remove the person from the mud, according to fire officials.
Carver EMS transported the person to a local hospital for evaluation.
