Cave Stays Open after Teen Gets Trapped

Local fire departments are concerned about the safety of a cave near Mt Solon.

This comes after a teenage boy got trapped there for two to three hours Wednesday and he was not the first person to get trapped in that cave.

Fire crews carried the boy to the ambulance after getting him out of the cave. Some members of the crews said the cave is about 400 to 500 feet deep.

The Deputy Chief of Augusta County Fire and Rescue said they do not have control over closing the cave since it is on private property. He said he hopes everyone is careful and knows the area if they decide to visit the cave in the future.
