Sunday afternoon, Thornton fire crews rescued a man from a maze of storm drains near an RTD Park-and-Ride.

crews don't know how a man found his way into the city's storm drainage system, but they knew they had to make quick work to get him out.

Gaddis was one of two firefighters tasked with entering the system to make contact with the trapped man. The other was Forrest Oldham, who said navigating the drains was like a maze. The team was able to find a possible opening to get in and reach the victim. They said they had to move fast as storms rolled into the area.

"The initial tube was large enough for both of us to get through, but you're crawling on your hands and belly, moving your elbows, and you’re hoping things open somewhere and thankfully it did," Gaddis added.
