"He's over here. Please hurry." A girl told them frantically waving them over

"I'm Owen. This is Tommy." Owen told her  "Why don't you tell us what happened?"

"My friend Freddie, he fell down the garbage chute from our apartment,
and now he's stuck." She cried out

"Stuck where?" Tomm asked as they walked closer to the compactor

"In there." She pointed to it "The trash compactor" she yelled out "Freddie, the fire department's here. It's gonna be okay."

"Get me outta here!"

"Which floor is your apartment on?"  Owen faced her

"Second."

"I always tell the residents don't reach into the trash chute but nobody ever listens."

"Are you the landlord?" Owen asked as he opened a hatch showing the man stuck

"No, building manager. Part-time. I'm Jimmy." He nodded

"Jimmy, how often does this trash compactor activate?

"Every hour, on the hour. But I cut the building's power as soon as I heard." He told them frantically

"Good thinking."

"Ma'am, why don't you go with TK here?" Tommy mentioned to The girl and then TK "He's gonna check you out while we work."

"Listen, Freddie, we're gonna get you out, but my friend Tommy is gonna assess you first."  Owen told him through a small opening

"How much of me can you even see?"

"Well, enough to know that something sliced you pretty good on the way down." Tommy came closer and looked at his leg "Does it hurt?"

"No, it just feels tickly." His face then dropped "That's bad, isn't it?"

"No, no, no." Tommy comforted "You've been upside down for a while. It's natural for things to start to go numb." She looked at Owen  "Yeah, the bleeding's not bad, but I can't rule out a spinal injury. You're gonna have to extract him very carefully."

"Alright, Marjan, get a ladder and rubbish hook." Owen looked at her  "Clean out the trash in there."

"When you say "in," you mean in the, in the dumpster?" Marjan grimaced

"Yeah, we need to get a look at him from inside."

"Copy that, Cap." Marjan sighed and began to walk towards the truck

"Glad you're riding back in the firetruck and not the ambulance, you know." Nancy told marjan as she passed

"Nancy, I need you to get your kit. You're going in with her. We need a neuro check." Tommy looked at her

"I deserve that." Nancy nodded and followed marjan

They began to dig out the trash bags

"So his leg is caught between a one-way door and all this trash.... Mateo, give me the drill." Owen faced him "We gotta take off this grate."

"Yup, yup." He walked away to get it

"How's the dumpster diving coming, Marjan?" Owen yelled out

"Yup, just about clearing the path, Cap." She stated trying not to breath in the garbage air,  they continued on as they coughed "Alright. Path is clear." She faced nancy "Go on in."

"Hey, Freddie. I'm Nancy."  She stated as she crawled up to him "I'm just gonna check you out, okay?"

"Okay."
