GUILFORD, Conn. Firefighters in Connecticut rescued a man who fell in a cistern-type well that was discovered underneath the home he was renovating, CNN reported. The man, who was renovating the home at the time stepped on loose wood and fell 30 feet down the well that was five feet wide. The home was built in the 1800s and the well was located outside the home before it was built. It is important to note that some of these older, historical homes may have hazards that were not upgraded by current code, Guilford PD said on Facebook. This situation could have ended with a fatality but due to the extreme professionalism and capabilities of Guilford Fire Department, everyone went home safely tonight.
