Seattle Fire initiated a rescue response early Thursday morning after a person reportedly sleeping inside a dumpster was dumped inside a garbage truck at 11th and Pike.

According to Seattle Fire and East Precinct Radio dispatches, a person was believed to have been sleeping inside a large dumpster that was picked up and emptied by the truck just south of 11th and Pike. Workers realized there was a person inside the trash and reported the emergency around 5:30 AM.

We do not yet have specifics of any injuries suffered in the incident. Seattle Fire reported the person who was “alert and oriented” was able to be removed. UPDATE: Seattle Fire tells us the victim was taken to Harborview as a precaution and that fire units were called to the scene due to “the mechanism of event.”
