Woman freed from olive oil tin by firefighters

Firefighters in Rotherham, south Yorkshire, had to free a woman from a tin of olive oil after her hand became stuck.

The woman, from Braithwell, put her fingers into an industrial sized tin of olive oil to remove part of a pump which had fallen in.



But her hand ended up stuck inside, leaving her having to contact firefighters for help. Armed with metal cutters and pliers firefighters from Maltby station managed to free the woman.

Watch Manager Adam Bramall said: “Rescuing someone from a tin of olive oil is certainly a first for us. It’s just another example of the unusual incidents we come across on a day to day basis.”
