Firefighters in China rescue girl stuck in between walls

Firefighters in China have rescued a playful girl who had her head stuck between walls in a primary school in Lingbi county, Suzhou city of east China's Anhui Province.

The incident happened when students were having lunch break at noon.

Local firefighters hurried to the scene after receiving the emergency call and found that the 6-year-old girl, whose upper body was sandwiched between two walls, was crying and yelling while her mother held on to her body in an effort to ease her child's pain.

The girl's head was stuck facing down and even a slightest move caused her to cry.

Firefighters first tried to destroy one wall, but later abandoned the plan, as the wall turned out to be a load bearing wall which should not be destroyed. In the end, the firefighters decided to use abrasive papers to sand the wall and later applied lubricating oil on the wall.

They propped the girl's chin and lifted her head upward, finally freeing her from the narrow gap. The girl was reportedly unhurt from the incident.
