   A woman plunged into a vault toilet in Washington after dropping   
   her phone inside of it, rescuers said.   
      
   The woman fell into the toilet around 3 p.m. on April 19 at the   
   top of Mount Walker, the Brinnon Fire Department said in a   
   Facebook post.   
      
   A vault toilet is a waterless and non-flush toilet typically   
   found at campgrounds and near hiking trails. The human waste is   
   stored in an airtight underground container.   
      
   She tried to dismantle the toilet to fish out her fallen   
   cellphone, rescuers said.   
      
   After removing the seat and the “housing” of the toilet, she   
   used her dog leash to try to retrieve her phone, fire officials   
   said.   
      
   But she fell headfirst into the toilet.   
      
   The woman called 911 from inside of the toilet after trying to   
   get out for 15 to 20 minutes, rescuers said.   
      
   Fire crews made a “makeshift cribbing platform” and sent it down   
   into the toilet.   
      
   The woman was able to stand on the platform, and rescuers said   
   they pulled her out.   
      
   Rescuers washed the woman off, and she said she was not injured.   
      
   The crew encouraged her to seek medical attention because she   
   was exposed to human waste, but she refused and continued on her   
   trip to California, rescuers said.   
      
   “The patient was extremely fortunate not to be overcome by toxic   
   gases or sustain injury,” the fire department said.
