RIP 🙏
The tank was emptied while the fuel pumps were being remodeled. After the man collapsed, the workers were unable to pull him out of the confined space about 10 to 15 feet below the surface.
“The other workers were trying to get down in that hole and take them out. It’s obviously not a good idea. They weren’t on supplied air or anything of that nature,” said Justin Sylvia with the Sacramento Fire Department.
A rescue and hazmat team was dispatched. Sylvia said the fire crews had to take their own safety precautions, using supplied air.
