FIREFIGHTERS have rescued a woman after she became stuck - inside a tumble dryer.

Humberside Fire & Rescue Service said the woman was released uninjured from the equipment in the incident, which happened in Beresford Avenue, Hull, last night, adding: "Advice given."

A spokeswoman told The Press that the tumble dryer was not in a launderette but a private residence, and there was no information available as to how large it was or how the woman got inside it.
