Incident No: 20252
Date: 18-09-2010
Time: 06:33
Details: Good neighbour alerts crews to merry man!
Address: Great Wakering Sports Centre, High Street, Great Wakering
Attendance: 1 x Shoebury, 1 x Southend
A woman walking her dog this morning heard the cries of a man stuck in a closed recycling bin outside the sports centre and raised the alarm for crews to go to help.
Two appliances were sent to the incident and when firefighters arrived at the scene they found the woman comforting a young man who had clearly had a good night out.
At 06:44hrs, crews said that efforts were being made to remove the young man from the bin and they requested the attendance of Police as they reported that the casualty, although unharmed, may have trouble finding his way home.
“How he got into the bin is a bit of a mystery, but he would still be there if the woman hadn’t heard his cries for help. She was unable to get him out, so called the Fire Service for assistance. We don’t know how he got there,” said a fire service spokesman.
We have no further information.
