Head stuck in toilet
A BIZARRE emergency awaited a Horsham fire crew as they rushed to a 999 call in Broadbridge Heath on Friday (February 8)morning.
The fire engine sped to the house in Stanford Way at 8.45am to be greeted by the sight of two-year-old Max Cole with his head stuck in a loo seat.
The toddler, who had been pretending to use the toilet training seat as a hat, had it round his neck for nearly an hour before the fire crew cut him free.
Fireman Clive Bulpitt said: "It's the first time I've had anything like that in 32 years in the fire brigade. It was very unusual."
His mother Nicolette Adams said: "It was absolutely stuck. I tried putting fairy liquid and cream on his head and ears, but there was just no way."
"I thought it isn't really an emergency, but it was because I couldn't get it off, so I called 999."
The fire crew found the scene so hilarious they insisted Miss Adams take a picture.
She said: "Everybody came in, even the driver- I don't think they see this kind of thing very often.
"He was ever so good and he didn't cry."
