Firefighters rescue girl after she gets stuck up pipe at Aylesbury open space
Firefighters were called to a popular open space in Aylesbury yesterday afternoon (Tuesday) after a girl got into difficulty.
Two fire engines were sent to Meadowcroft Playing Fields at just after 5.15pm to rescue a girl who became stuck after climbing up a pipe.
The youngster was uninjured in the incident.
A fire service spokesman said: "The child, who was in their early teens, climbed up a gas pipe that is near to the River Thame which runs behind the playing fields.

"We sent two fire crews who rescued the child with the aid of a ladder.
"Our advice is that children should stick to using the play equipment and be careful if they decide to venture elsewhere within the area of the playing fields."
