A 22-year-old man in New South Wales, Australia had to be
rescued from a washing machine after getting his entire lower body wedged in
the appliance's drum for more than three hours. The rescue operation took more
than an hour, which involved fire fighters having to completely take apart the
machine in order to extract him.
The fire station wrote on its Facebook page: "Recently the crew from D Platoon were turned
out to a rescue incident in which a person had become trapped in a front loader
washing machine. Upon arrival the crew was informed that the patients’ legs had
been entrapped in the washing machine for at least 3 hours."
"This job was interesting as the crew had not performed
a washing machine rescue before however under direction from Station Officer
David Cross the crew implemented a plan to extract the patient by disassembling
the washing machine. It took just over an hour and the patient was removed from
the washing machine and transported to hospital as a precaution."
"Throughout the process the patient was monitored by
New South Wales Ambulance."
The man was described as being in "a lot of
discomfort", but he managed to get free without injury, the Telegraph
reports.
