A team of firefighters spent 25 minutes freeing a child's finger from a seat in Te Puke yesterday.
Fire and Emergency shift manager Craig Dally said the Te Puke crew responded to a call from Countdown in Boucher Avenue at 4.32pm.
He said firefighters spent about 25 minutes at the
scene and used a hacksaw to remove part of the framing to free the child's finger.
She was then accessed by ambulance staff.
