THESE red-faced firefighters were forced to call for emergency back up after they managed to get wedged in a water feature.
The truck, which was being used for educational training, was being directed over City Place in Manor Royal by cops – when metal grates under the wheels caved in.

Three other fire trucks were summoned to the scene to tow out their colleagues using air bags and towropes.

A bemused eyewitness explained: "I just looked out of the window and the police were directing the truck over the fountain outside, when I looked again the fire engine had got wedged.

"The metal cover must have just collapsed it must have been a bit embarrassing."
