SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Specially trained firefighters climbed into a manhole at a mobile home park on Senter Road in San Jose Thursday morning.

Residents heard what sounded like tapping coming from the manhole around 8:30 am. It was thought to be coming from a woman trapped underground.

Rescuers checked out several hundred feet, of a three-foot-wide storm drain pipe but didn't find a person trapped inside.

It was the second time within the last year firefighters responded to a report of a person possibly being trapped inside the same pipe.
