 According to the Ventury County Fire Department, firefighters had to slowly chip away at the bricks in order to remove the woman from a chimney located in the 1900 block of Woodside Drive. 
 
 Neighbors heard the woman screaming and called officials around 6:00 a.m. 
 
 She had reportedly been trapped since 3:00 a.m. 
 
 Firefighters told CBS2’s Laurie Perez they also used liquid dish soap to make it easier to remove the woman. 
 
 Family members of the trapped woman reported that she had dated the a man who owned the residence. 
 
 Crews pulled the woman out of the chimney around 8:13 a.m. 
 
 Perez reported that the woman has been arrested. 
 
 Genoveva Nunez-Figueroa, 30, has been identified as the woman. 
 
 The homeowner’s chimney is now gone. The homeowner’s name is Lawrence and didn’t want his last name used. 
 
 Robert Fisher, a neighbor, took still photos of the woman as she was being rescued. He was one of the residents who called 911 after hearing the early-morning screams. 
 
 “We couldn’t believe it,” Fisher said. 
 
 “This woman was definitely in distress,” Fisher added. “But no one knew where the voice was coming from.” 
 
 Lawrence wasn’t home last night and confirmed to Perez that he knew the woman. 
 
 “It wasn’t Santa Claus, for sure,” Lawrence said. 
 
 “Having someone in your chimney is like kind of a weird thing you wouldn’t expect to come home to,” Lawrence said. 
 
 The stuck woman’s family says she is a good woman and have offered to pay for Lawrence’s chimney repair. 
 
 Perez asked Lawrence how he was feeling now that the ordeal seemed to be over. 
 
 “‘I’m feeling better, not so weirded out anymore that that person isn’t in my chimney anymore,” he said. “Trying to figure out what I’m going to do with my chimney since it’s in pieces but better my chimney than probably me.” 
 
 Lawrence also told Perez it wasn’t the woman’s first attempt to break into his home. 
 
 “It’s actually the second attempt for her trying to access the inside of my house,” Lawrence said, “from the roof.” 
 
 He also confirmed to Perez they met online. 
 
 “Which just goes to show you,” he said, “You have to be careful who you meet online.”

 A woman accused of illegally entering the Thousand Oaks home of a man she went on multiple dates with was arrested Sunday after firefighters used jackhammers to partially dismantle a brick chimney she had become trapped inside. 
 
 Deputies responded to a home in the 1900 block of Woodside Drive (map) at 5:45 a.m. after a caller reported that the woman had been stuck in the chimney, about 8 feet from the top, for two hours, said Capt. Renee Ferguson of the Ventura County Sheriff's Department. 
 
 The county Fire Department's urban search and rescue team was called to the scene. Photos posted on Twitter by the department showed firefighters on the roof of the house as they worked to reach the woman, who was conscious during the rescue. 
 
 The flue was lubricated with dish soap before she was lifted out of the chimney, placed in a Stokes basket and hoisted from the roof by a ladder truck, according to VCFD Capt. Mike Lindbery. 
 
 The woman, whose "intent was unclear," was known by the homeowner, the Sheriff's Department said. 
 
 She was extricated by 8:22 a.m. and transported to Los Robles Hospital & Medical Center for evaluation, according to the Fire Department. Her condition was not immediately known. 
 
 She was later identified as Genoveva Nunez-Figueroa, a 30-year-old Thousand Oaks resident, and arrested for allegedly illegally entering a residence and providing false information to a peace officer, the VCSD stated in a news release. 
 
 The home's resident, who did not wish to be identified, said he had met Nunez-Figueroa online and they had gone on about six dates. 
 
 He cautioned other people about allowing acquaintances into their homes. 
 
 “Before you have somebody come in your house really check them out … really give it some time before you let somebody in, because they might want to stay,” he told KTLA.

– Here's a tip for would-be home invaders: You might want to consider attempting to break in via a window or a door ... instead of, say, the chimney. Authorities say that's the route Genoveva Nunez-Figueroa decided to take early yesterday in Thousand Oaks, Calif., and things went very wrong, KTLA reports. Deputies responded to a 5:45am call reporting that the woman, variously reported as 28 or 30 years old, had been stuck in the chimney for two to three hours; neighbors called after hearing her screams, according to CBS LA. Firefighters used jackhammers to partially dismantle the chimney and lubricated the flue with dish soap before lifting Nunez-Figueroa out. What was she doing in there in the first place? Well, it's not clear, but she'd gone on six dates with the homeowner—who wasn't home at the time—after meeting him online, and he says he'd recently ended the relationship. The Sheriff's Department says her "intent was unclear." Whatever she was trying to do, this wasn't her first time: The homeowner also saw her on his roof two weeks ago and called the cops, but she fled, ABC30 reports. This time around, she was arrested after being removed from the chimney at 8:22am; she was also taken to a local hospital for evaluation. She had been stuck about 8 feet from the top and was conscious during the rescue. Her current condition isn't known, but she faces charges of illegally entering a residence and providing false information to a peace officer. The homeowner says he's learned a valuable lesson: "Before you have somebody come in your house, really check them out," he says. "Having someone in your chimney is like kind of a weird thing you wouldn't expect to come home to." (Another kind of weird thing you wouldn't expect to come home to: a box full of cocaine, heroin, and meth you didn't order.)
