Fire crews have been called out to rescue people from vending machines, cat flaps and more.
In London alone, the fire brigade was called out to 417 rescues last year that included people being stuck in a variety of unusual objects and machines. Last week for example student Danielle Morgan had to call for help when she became hopelessly trapped in a clothes horse after falling off her bed. "We ask the public to take greater care to avoid getting themselves into these often ridiculous situations and to think carefully before dialling 999 and calling us out if there is not an emergency," said assistant commissioner Dave Brown.
From freeing a man's genitals from a titanium chastity belt to rescuing a woman wedged in a vending machine, firefighters in the capital have had some truly bizarre call-outs.
