In Syracuse, New York, the fire department responded to the Landmark Theatre after employees heard someone banging on the wall of a bathroom and yelling for help. Rescuers drilled a hole in the wall and used a fiber-optic camera to find the person’s exact location, Fox News reports. They found a naked man was trapped. After determining the best way to extract the man, officials said firefighters carefully cut through several layers of drywall and structural clay tile to reach him. It was not clear how the man got into the wall, but fire officials said it was believed he had entered the theatre two or three days prior.
Officials responding to a house fire in Longmont, Colorado, were told by a man there that he accidentally set the fire to his mom’s house when he used a blowtorch to try to clear cobwebs from a crawlspace under the house.
