On June 20, in Anping County, Hengshui City, Hebei Province, a 3-year-old boy was rescued after falling into a deep well.

The fire department quickly responded to the emergency call. Upon arrival, they learned that the newly constructed well, about 15 meters deep with a 30-centimeter diameter, had no water but contained trace amounts of toxic gases. The boy had fallen in while playing nearby, making the situation critical.

Rescuers devised a plan to supply fresh air continuously to prevent the boy from suffocating and sent down a milk bottle with a safety rope to keep him nourished. Due to the narrow well opening, it was impossible for an adult to descend, prompting the team to use an excavator to widen the area around the well. However, the machine could only remove the top sections of the well pipe before space constraints halted further digging.

Realizing that time was of the essence, the commander called on the community for assistance. Zhao Chenglong, a villager with dwarfism, volunteered. Standing just over a meter tall, Zhao was assessed as capable of performing the rescue.

Firefighters quickly trained Zhao and, after ensuring he understood the procedure and was equipped with safety measures, lowered him into the well. Zhao successfully secured the rescue rope around the boy, allowing both of them to be pulled to safety.

Thanks to the prompt and coordinated efforts, the boy was unharmed. The Anping County Fire Rescue Brigade awarded Zhao Chenglong with an "Outstanding Fire Volunteer" certificate for his bravery.

6月20日，河北省衡水市安平县，一名3岁男童不慎坠入深井急需救援。
消防部门接警后迅速赶赴现场，经了解，深井刚刚完工还未启用，男童在附近玩耍时不慎掉入井中。井内无水，深约15米左右，井口直径约30公分。经检测，井内含有多种微量有毒气体，情况十分紧急。
指挥员立即制定救援方案，并对井底不间断输送新鲜空气，防止井底男童缺氧，同时用安全绳将奶瓶送至深井内，持续为男童补充营养。
由于井口空间狭小，成年人下井困难，现场指挥员决定采用挖掘机扩大救援面，人工掘管跟进的方式进行救援。但深井位于乡村狭窄街道内，挖掘机将最上面的两节管道挖开后被空间限制，无法继续挖掘，救援一时陷入僵局。
时间就是生命，指挥员决定发动群众，寻找一名体型较小，且具备行为能力的群众协助救援。
“我个子小，让我试试吧！”这时，村民赵成龙站了出来。
他今年30多岁，身高一米出头，经评估，是现场合适的下井人员。
消防员随即对赵成龙进行突击培训，在确定其已经充分掌握操作要领后，消防员为他做好各项安全措施，确保万无一失的前提下，送其下井对被困男童进行绳索固定。
赵成龙不负所望，成功将绳套牢牢套在了被困男童身上，随后俩人先后被拉出井口。
由于救援及时，经检查，男童并无大碍。
事后，安平县消防救援大队为赵成龙颁发了“优秀消防志愿者”荣誉证书。
