Boy rescued after getting head stuck in beam at school

A boy was rescued Monday at a Volusia County elementary school after his head became lodged in a beam.



The boy was at Osteen Elementary School when his curiosity caused him to put his head into an opening of the beam, which appeared to be holding a canopy.

The boy's head became stuck in the beam, and Volusia County firefighters were called to the school. Rescuers cut the beam, and the boy, whose age was not released, was freed about 22 minutes after firefighters arrived.



"He had no complaints. We gave him some ice-cold water and reassured him we were all kids once and he didn't do anything wrong," a fire official said. The boy was not injured and returned home on Monday night, officials said.
