DIY man rescued from roof
FIREFIGHTERS rescued a man who became stuck on his roof after some DIY work.
The man in his 30s had been fixing the roof when he became stuck on a ledge in the sub zero temperatures.
A crew from Redbridge fire station in Southampton received the 999 call just after 7.30pm on Wednesday.
Firefighter Steve White from Redbridge said they helped the man down from the home in Grove Road, Shirley.
He said: “It wasn’t something that took long, it was just a case of helping him down but I would imagine he was grateful for the assistance.”
