Firemen and police from the Katoomba, NSW Area, all joined in a team effort to rescue a young girl stuck in a steel fence. Firemen from seven sub divisions attended and in all thirty five emergency personnel were in involved. It took several hours to extract her from her predicament.
Fire Chief McLaughlin said, 'This was a pretty tough rescue, it took us quite a while to come up with a plan to safely extract her from the fence.'
Although the girl's entrapment was never life threatening it did take careful planning and gentle handling to safely remove her. She was taken to the Katoomba hospital where she was examined and released.
Poor thing, this picture just about broke my heart.......
