Firefighters have rescued a baby who was trapped under a deck in West Auckland this afternoon.
The 18-month-old crawled under the low deck of a Te Atatu house where his mother wasn't able to reach him and she started to worry about rubble and wiring.
When a fire crew fromTitirangi arrived, a firefighter crawled under the deck to be with the baby while others used their hand tools to lift up a section of the deck so the infant could be lifted out.
St John ambulance paramedics checked him out in case, but the boy was fine, said station officer Peter Cranwell.
