14-Year-Old Rescued From Chimney
A 14-year-old boy has been rescued from a chimney by firefighters who had to dismantle to the 20ft stack brick by brick.
The boy was wedged inside the chimney of a single-storey building in Cassels Street, Carluke, South Lanarkshire, but it is not yet known how the boy fell down the chimney.
It is understood that attempts to rescue the boy from both the top and bottom for the chimney were unsuccessful, leaving Scottish Fire and Rescue having to remove brickwork.
It has been reported that the boy escaped with minor injuries and was taken to hospital as a precaution.
