A little lad who loves TV rescue dogs PAW Patrol was rescued himself when his got his head stuck in a metal gate.
Three-year-old Jayus Collier was playing in the garden when mum Rebecca turned her back for just a few seconds.
“I turned round and his head was poking through the bars of the gate,” she said.
“He thought it was funny but I started to panic because I couldn’t get him out.”
Rebecca dialled 999 and was relieved when a crew from Huddersfield Fire Station arrived within minutes.
Firefighters used a special tool to prise open the metal bars and then gave Jayus – who is four next month – a tour of the fire engine and its gear.

“He was stuck for about 20 minutes,” said Rebecca, 30.
“The firefighters were brilliant. When he saw the fire engine he thought it was great and he calmed down. There were a few tears at first but he was really brave.
“He told me it had been a great rescue mission just like on PAW Patrol. He’s always climbing and jumping and wanting to be a superhero.”

A fire service spokesman said Jayus had been “really brave” as officers worked to free him.
“After we freed him he had a cuddle with his mum and then we showed him around the fire engine. He was a really brave boy.”
