FIREFIGHTERS had to rescue a teenager stuck in a swing in a Yate park.

The crew from Yate Fire Station was called to Tyndale Park at 5.26pm on Sunday (April 24). They found a 13-year-old child stuck in a swing.

Area manager for Avon Fire and Rescue Service, Mark Allison, said: “This was a very basic rescue but it does highlight some of the things we do that are slightly different that people do not expect us to do.”
