Three males were rescued by firefighters after they became stuck in a tumble dryer in Essex. 

Essex-based firefighters responded to a derelict laundry site in Bower Hill, Epping, at around 18:40 hours on Friday.

When firefighters arrived on the scene, they were met with the sight of three teenagers who had become stuck in the industrial-sized dryer. 

Reports are that two of the males had become completely stuck in the drum of the drier whilst the third had managed to get his ankle stuck. 

As well as the fire & rescue service, Essex Police, HEMs and East of England Ambulance Service Hazardous Area Response Team made their way to the call. 

After using heavy-duty cutting equipment, the teenagers were freed before being left in the care of paramedics. 

Watch manager Glenn Jackson said in a statement: 

“It was a difficult site to access, and we had to carry a lot of heavy equipment a large distance from the appliances to the tumble dryer and then use our expertise to free the men safely.

“We used a range of equipment to free the casualty’s ankles and allow him to crawl into the tumble dryer.

“The HEMS team gave him pain relief and we then managed to move the door, again using a range of equipment, so the men could crawl out.”

Before you go...

We need your help. As former emergency services & armed forces personnel, we pride ourselves on bringing you important, fast-moving and breaking news stories which are free from the negative bias which is often directed at the emergency services by some sections of the mainstream media.

One of the reasons we started 'Emergency Services News' was because we became tired of reading badly informed stories about the emergency services which seemed only ever to highlight negative aspects of the job.

We want to be the unheard voice of the remarkable men and women who serve in the emergency services, NHS and armed forces. And with around 500k page views each month, we are getting there!

As income from ads, the mainstay source of income for most publishers, continues to decline; we need the help of our readers.

And remember, if you have a service, product or job vacancy that you would like to promote to our large readership, then you can buy advertising space in our articles.

You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.
