Firefighters rescued a woman trapped in mud in eastern China using ropes and a digger.

The video, captured in Anqing City in Anhui Province on March 24, shows two firemen tied to ropes climbing onto a ladder and lying flat on the wetland to approach the woman.

Then they tie a rope around the woman and use a digger to transport her to the safety area.

According to local reports, the woman walked into the wetland accidentally at night and got stuck.

She was not seriously injured.
