First responders said the rescue pushed them to their limits, but they never gave up.<\/p>\n<p>Paramedics and police officers responded to a call late last month in searing afternoon heat after a man working out near Conrad High School reported hearing faint cries for help.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When we got the initial call with DPD, we were seeing notes that said that there was someone deep back beside the ravine,&#8221; Dallas Fire-Rescue paramedic Robert Kober recalled.<\/p>\n<p>A recent storm had turned the terrain in the area into a thick, sticky mud. &#8220;You stepped in it, you sank past your ankles, sometimes halfway or more up to your knees. Nasty, nasty conditions,&#8221; Dallas Police Sr. Cpl. Mark Gnewuch said.  <\/p>\n<p>They hiked nearly a quarter mile through the muck, thick brush and even sewage to find the woman. A one point they even needed to fashion a makeshift bridge, Kober said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;By the time I got out there, I&#8217;d already slipped and fell once and my thought process was &#8216;wow, she has been out here for a while,'&#8221; Gnewuch said. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was expecting to see someone who was barely coherent, possibly deceased, but when we arrived on location and I saw her, she was actually carrying on a conversation,&#8221; Kober said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The woman was taken to a hospital suffering from severe dehydration, prolonged sun exposure and other injuries, but was in stable condition.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have been on similar situations where individuals who are in that type of environment for that long, they don&#8217;t survive, so it was definitely a miracle to make it through,&#8221; Kober said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The rescue was proof of what can be accomplished when first responders work together.<\/p>\n<p class=\"content__tags__label\">In:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dallas police officers and firefighters are being praised after rescuing a homeless woman who was trapped in a&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":369101,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[102,9379,104,103,4081],"class_list":["post-369100","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-dallas","tag-dallas","tag-dallas-fire-rescue","tag-dallas-headlines","tag-dallas-news","tag-dallas-police-department"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/369100","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=369100"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/369100\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/369101"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=369100"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=369100"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=369100"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
