Cave rescue

Firefighters and emergency personnel gather Tuesday night at the the entrance of Schetromph Cave on Cresspond Road while working to free a man trapped in it. Jerry Bowen, of Tri-State Grotto, a Martinsburg, W.Va.-based caving organization, says the cave has tight passages that are only about a foot high and other sections where cave explorers must turn their bodies sideways to pass through.
