A Fairlawn, Virginia woman died on Friday after falling about 100 feet inside a cave nearly 30 miles from her hometown, according to authorities.

The Giles County Emergency Services said a 911 call was received just before 4:15 p.m. on Friday about a woman who had fallen about 100 feet within a cave in the Staffordsville community near Pearisburg.

The call prompted the Giles County Sheriff’s Office, Pearisburg Fire Department and Giles Rescue Squad to respond, and when they arrived, they requested additional services from the Celco Emergency Response Team and Blacksburg Rescue Squad’s Technical Rescue Cave Team to help with rescue efforts.
