In Wehye, Lower Saxony, a young girl got her foot stuck in a metal can. Neither the child nor her mother could free it, as the foot had swollen. The Sudweyhe fire department used bolt cutters to open the can.
A young girl in Wehye, in Germany's Lower Saxony district of Diepholz, faced an unusual emergency when her foot got trapped in a metal can. A spokesperson for the Sudweyhe fire department stated that the child could not free her foot herself. The mother tried to help, but the foot had already swollen, complicating the effort. She then called the fire department. The responders used bolt cutters – a specialized tool with side-mounted blades typically used for cutting wires and cables. They carefully cut into the can to reduce pressure on the foot. The foot was then gently removed. Paramedics took over the child's care afterward. The incident caused no further damage, and the girl received medical attention.
