Bodycam footage shows firefighters rescuing man stuck in chimney

Police have released body-worn camera footage of the moment firefighters pulled a man from a chimney in Fall River earlier this week.

 

The man, identified by police as 33-year-old Robert Langlais, ran from officers who were executing a search warrant at a home on Canal Street. He made his way to the roof and tried to hide in the chimney, but became wedged halfway down.

 

“I was out walking my dog a little while ago and I heard some screaming,” the neighbor said. “I looked up and I saw a guy go down the chimney.”

 

The officer then ran toward the house with a flashlight and alerted everyone to what he just learned.

 

“Hey! He’s in the chimney,” he said.
