Middletown firefighters met with surprise when responding to report of child’s head stuck in chair

MIDDLETOWN, Conn. (WFSB) - Middletown firefighters were met with a surprise when they responded to a report that a child’s head was stuck in a chair.

When firefighters with Engine 32 of the South Fire District responded, they found the callers cat, Ozzy, was really the one with their head stuck in a chair.

“Oftentimes, the initial call for service is dynamically different then what we find on scene,” the fire department said.

Ozzy was delicately extricated from the chair, refused further medical treatment, and is expected to be okay!
