BEAUMONT, TEXAS, FIREFIGHTERS HAD A COMPACT RESCUE CHALLENGE Monday morning when they responded to the rear of a gas station where they found a trash truck waiting for them. Apparently one of Beaumont’s street people spent the night sleeping in a dumpster that was so cozy that he missed the alarm at sunup. A Triangle Waste Co. truck driven by Gilfford Mickens dumped the container and moved on to the next stop. After he made about three more stops, he ran the compactor on the truck and that’s when he heard some screaming coming from inside.
This video report from Associated Press shows what happened next:
The Beaumont FD crews needed about 30 minutes to free the man who was taken to the hospital in fair condition.
