At about 1:30 pm on the 12th, a firefighter was informed that an elderly man fell into the irrigation canal at 3-chome, Kashiwa-ku, Kobe City.
When the police and the fire department searched the neighborhood, it was too close to 2 pm, a man who fell about 50 meters downstream in the irrigation channel about 1 meter wide and 20 centimeters deep was rescued by the fire department.
According to the police, men are about 75 years old and are conscious when rescued and transported to the hospital for treatment.
