Emergency crews took nearly 45 minutes to reach a woman buried inside her garbage-filled Georgia home on Tuesday, MyFoxAtlanta.com reported.
Investigators said that the home smelled like a garbage dump. Mildew-covered cars sat outside the home and boxes of food were stacked on the front porch.
Crews wore protective gear before entering the home and were decontaminated after exiting due to health concerns.
Code enforcement officers were not yet allowed inside the home because of the unsanitary conditions, but condemned it based on the assessments of the emergency personnel.
This is not the home’s first citation; in April, the owner was cited for the outside appearance of the residence.
It wasn't clear whether a call from the homeowner sparked the emergency response on Tuesday, and her condition wasn't immediately known.
