A 15-year-old California teen was rescued Saturday evening after falling into an abandoned well shaft while attempting to save two family dogs, local fire officials said. The incident occurred around 6:55 p.m. locally near the 13000 block of La Barr Meadows Road, according to a statement from Nevada County Consolidated Fire Rescue (NCCFR). The teen had climbed down roughly 15 to 20 feet into the well to retrieve the dogs but became trapped and unable to climb out.
