The three-year-old was taken into Southport Community Fire Station with her mother, just before 3.10pm on Monday. It is believed the girl, who is from Southport, was playing with the tin on her head, when she fell and it got stuck on the top of her head.
Firefighters used tin snips to cut the tin and managed to free her head. An ambulance was called and the girl was given a precautionary check by paramedics. The child is believed to have been unharmed in the incident.
Peter Kirkham, Watch Manager at Southport Community Fire Station, said: "The little girl was playing and had been using the tin as a hat. However she fell and it became wedged. She was very distressed when she was brought in and we managed to calm her down. We cut into the tin to open it and slide it off her head."

I probably shouldn't admit it, but something similar happened to me when I was a kid. It was a metal bucket and yes, I was wearing it as a hat and it got stuck. My mom cut it off with some sort of gardening loppers. I don't think it occurred to her to get help with it. I remember screaming at her to be sure not to cut my ear off.
