The footage captures firefighters taking a cautious approach as they cut away sections of the portable toilet while the man remained stuck inside.
Once the opening was large enough, firefighters instructed him to climb out. During the rescue, the man could be heard repeatedly shouting, “Listen!” as emergency crews continued working to free him.
The rescue ended successfully, with firefighters pulling the man from the portable toilet before giving him a hose-down beside the fire truck.
