Toddler gets stuck in potty, rescued by firefighters
Now, this is a potty emergency.
Three-year-old Rebecca Rogers from Chirk in the U.K. had to be cut from the can by fire-fighters using equipment usually deployed to extract car crash victims from wreckage, according to the BBC. Rogers became entrapped in the offending potty when she and her sister Daniella, age two, were playing with it.
Father Kevin Rogers had bought the potty last Wednesday to start toilet-training his daughter. On Thursday, he was doing dishes while the girls pottying around, and Rebecca got her foot lodged in the handle of the potty. Unable to free his daughter with kitchen scissors, her dad called the fire department.
“I never expected a full fire crew in the truck to arrive, but it did. It was really embarrassing when three firemen came into the house,” Rogers told the BBC. ”I had to reassure neighbours that there was no fire!”
Emergency personnel were able to free the child in about 15 minutes, and even salvage the potty for future use.
