UK Chimney Rescue

nekton — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 15:40:15 GMT

Firefighters were involved in an amazing rescue in Rotherham on Nov. 1, 2009, after a man fell down his next door neighbors chimney. Incident Commander Neil Hessell said he had never seen an incident like it in over 27 years as a firefighter. The crew of fire service managers, who were staffing the Rotherham fire engine in place of striking firefighters, was called to the incident on St Johns Avenue, Masborough at 8.19pm. The initial report was to assist the Police and Ambulance services in their attempts to remove a man from the roof of the row of terraced houses. Area Manager Hessell said: We arrived to find a man in his 30s walking along the roof, throwing slates, chimney pots and television aerials onto the street below. Around six cars were damaged and there was a significant danger to the public so the street was cordoned off. Walking along the rooftops, the man eventually came to his own house before falling down the chimney breast on his next door neighbors side.

On Oct 29 2009 just after 11PM. Engine 31 arrived to find a single vehicle MVA and the car wrapped around a light pole. Firefighters worked tirelessly to free the woman from the wreckage, but this was a difficult task as the car was pinned against the pole and gave firefighters limited access. After removing the passenger door, windshield & roof, the crews jacked the car up and pushed the car away from the pole thus giving them the access they needed to free her. The patient was transported to RCH with minor injuries. Weather conditions and speed likely played a role in the crash.
