Connecticut -Man saved after he gets stuck in primary school dia

A man in Connecticut found himself in a tricky situation recently, but thanks to the quick response of emergency services, he was rescued from a playground slide.

On August 16, a 40-year-old man became stuck in a tube slide at a primary school in Vernon, Connecticut. The Vernon Fire Department, EMS, and Police Department were called to the scene just after 4:30 pm to assist in the rescue operation.

The man was reportedly in “extreme discomfort” due to the hot summer temperatures, so EMS provided him with ventilation and oxygen. Additional help was called in, including a fire truck, Rescue 141, and Tower 541.

Rescue 141 utilized tools for the liberation, while Tower 541 raised the grass next to the playground and used an air ladder to stabilize the slide. Within 30 minutes, the responders were able to free the man by removing the lower part of the slide.

Despite the ordeal, the man refused treatment and transport to a hospital. The professionalism displayed by the emergency responders was commended by the Vernon Fire Department in a Facebook post that garnered viral attention.

One Facebook user remarked on the incident, saying, “New fear unlocked. A compliment to that man for being active with his children and learning a valuable lesson about tube slides.”

It is important to note the dedication and expertise of the emergency services personnel who worked tirelessly to ensure the man’s safety in this unusual situation.
