Firemen free toddler from soup pan

This Germany toddler had to be cut free from a soup saucepan after trying it on for size while watching his grandmother cooking lunch.

Paramedics were called to the family home in Eching, after frantic attempts to remove the pan with soap and then butter failed.



Eventually firemen with special cutting equipment had to slice through the impromptu helmet to free the terrified toddler.

"He said he'd wanted to see what the inside of the pot looked like," said one firefighter. "I think he got a better look than he bargained for," said one fire fighter."
