Firefighters rescued a camel trapped in a dry well in northwest China.

Video filmed in Altay Prefecture in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region on March 15 shows a firefighter lowered down into the well to tie a rope onto the trapped camel.

The crane on a rescue truck then lifted the camel up and brought it out of the well.

The camel ran away after it was rescued by the firefighters.

According to reports, a worker named Wang found the camel got trapped at the top of a deep well when he was checking the lines.

Since the camel was too heavy to be pulled out and Wang could not find its owner. He called the firefighters for help.

3月15日11时30分许，新疆阿勒泰地区布尔津县消防救援大队接到报警称，位于布尔津县南区职业技术学院往南约200米处，有一峰骆驼掉进枯井中，布尔津消防救援大队美丽峰路消防救援站接警后立即前往现场处置。
消防救援人员到达现场后经现场了解得知，该骆驼已被困多日，报警人王师傅在施工过程中排查线路的时候，路过深井的时候，发现一只骆驼卡在了深井通道顶部，只能看见骆驼的上半身，因为骆驼太重拽不出来，而且找不到骆驼的主人，所以才报警求助。
根据现场情况，消防救援人员立即实施救援，但是由于枯井井口太小，给消防救援工作带来了一些难度。一名身材较瘦的消防救援人员，下井为骆驼绑住大绳，对井下的骆驼进行固定，随后利用抢险救援车吊臂将骆驼救出。（视频由新疆台提供）
