A dog that, as a pup, survived a house fire that killed her parents and siblings was rescued Friday by firefighters after another close call -- two days trapped in water under a manhole in Romoland.
Verizon workers heard barking and whimpering about 1:15 p.m. in a utility vault near Sherman Road and Highway 74, Capt. Rick Griggs of the Riverside County Fire Department said.
Firefighters used a video camera to locate Diamond, a 2-year-old Akita/pit bull mix, 10 feet down. They pumped out water that had flooded the vault and rescued the hungry and frightened, but apparently uninjured, dog, Griggs said.
