Meanwhile in California . . .
Firefighters in San Leandro (near San Francisco) had to rescue a guy yesterday who’d been trapped in the grease vent of a restaurant for two days!
Igor Campos is a tax agent who works next door and he was the one that made the call to authorities when he heard someone moaning and calling for help.
“For like 45 minutes, I keep hearing [moaning], and I’m thinking what the heck is going on?” Igor shares.
He went to investigate the sounds, and after opening the back door of the recently-shuttered Chef Kwong Chinese restaurant, the pleas for help became much clearer.
Once deputies arrived, they found a grease-covered man was stuck inside a metal rooftop vent. Definitely a trespasser, possibly a burglar.
Dude thought he could break into the restaurant (not realizing it had completely shut down through the vent, only to find it wasn’t wide enough to allow his body to fit through.
Check out the phone the Alameda County Sheriff’s office tweeted:

We located a trespasser(possible burglar) trapped in the grease vent on the roof. He had been there for about 2 days. Fire rescued him and he is in custody. pic.twitter.com/OfVN5e8oeV

It took about half an hour for firefighters to get the man out, his body covered in grease and some bumps and bruises, including a dislocated shoulder.
The unidentified trespasser, possible burglar, was immediately hospitalized upon his extraction, but is doing alright, considering he was stuck in that vent for two days.
