19.06 Cumberland Road, Hotwells, Bristol
One pump and the boat from Bedminster Fire Station, along with
the Turntable Ladder and Rescue Tender from Temple Fire Station
were called to reports of a man trapped in the mud alongside the
river.
On arrival crews found a youth, aged around 17, stuck in the
mud, having fallen.
Firefighters lowered a triple extension ladder down to the
youth, with one firefighter climbing down to him. The firefighter
then assisted the youth to safety.
Although the youth was very dirty, he suffered no injuries, as
the mud had cushioned his fall.
