Brave Child Rescued By Fire Department After Getting Knee Stuck In Playground Railings

Title Brave Child Rescued By Fire Department After Getting Knee Stuck In Playground Railings
Summary In a video with over 27 million views on Instagram, the fire department was called to help rescue a brave child after his leg became stuck in some playground rails. The footage was taken by the child’s mother, Elena LaRochelle, on January 20th, in Windermere, Florida. Elena ran home to grab some olive oil in an attempt to help her son, Roger, after he became stuck in the playground’s railings. Once Elena knew that she was unable to help her son become free from the railings, she called 911 as a last resort. The fire department arrived to help the brave boy, whose leg had started to swell up due to the weird angle he was stuck at. Using a tool that Elena described as the ‘jaws of life’, they were able to help free the child. Roger was able to pull his knee out of the bars, as rounds of applause could be heard for the rescue mission.
