Woman falls head-first into pit toilet after dropping phone and has to be rescued by fire crews who give her hazmat suit

A WOMAN who fell head-first into a pit toilet after dropping her phone in it had to be rescued by fire crews and given a hazmat suit.

First-responders were called to the scene on Tuesday after the California woman became stuck in the vault toilet at Olympic National Forest in Washington state.

The woman told rescuers she dropped her cellphone while she was using the toilet, which she tried to take apart in order to retrieve the phone.

When she wasn’t able to take it apart, she used her dog leash to try to fish it out from the pit, according to the Brinnon Fire Department

And her attempts didn’t stop there.

The women reportedly then tried to use the leashes to lower herself into the pit. But the leashes weren’t strong enough and she fell to the vault head-first.

After spending 20 minutes trying to get out, she used her retrieved phone to call 911.

The Brinnon Fire Department and Quilcene Fire Rescue responded to the incident and made a makeshift “cribbing platform” to bring the woman up.

“The crews made a makeshift cribbing platform by passing them down to the patient,” said the fire department.

“After making it tall enough for her to stand on, the crew pulled the victim to safety.”

The woman was eventually pulled out and reported being uninjured.

Officials then washed her down and gave her a Hazmat suit, recommending that she seek medical attention after being exposed to human waste.

However, she reportedly declined, as “she only wanted to leave,” according to the fire crew.

After thanking first-responders, the woman, who is in her 40s, apparently continued on her way back to California.

“The patient was extremely fortunate not to be overcome by toxic gases or sustain injury,” said the fire department.

Vault toilets are waterless and don’t flush, with the waste kept in airtight containers underground.

They are typically found at campgrounds and hiking trails.
