Boy trapped inside tumble drier

A small child found himself trapped when he climbed inside a tumble drier and could not get out.

Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service was called to a house in High Street, Wellington, near Telford, on Saturday afternoon.

Firefighters from Wellington managed to get the boy safely out of the tumble drier without using any of their cutting equipment.

The boy was said to be unharmed after his ordeal, although very upset.
