Munich Firefighters Free 3-Year-Old Trapped Behind Kindergarten Climbing Wall

First responders reached the Obersendling kindergarten first, freeing the child with basic tools.

Overview

  • Kindergarten staff followed the boy’s calls for help and found him stuck behind a climbing wall in the sports room.
  • The alarm came around 12:30 p.m. on Monday on Carola-Neher-Straße in Munich’s Obersendling district.
  • The child’s legs and abdomen were wedged behind the frame, he complained of pain, and he could not free himself.
  • Dispatchers sent an ambulance, and a professional fire brigade unit was deployed as a First Responder due to the ambulance’s longer route.
