Firefighters rescued two small children in separate incidents in west Oxfordshire today.

They were called to The Gassons, Filkins, near Carterton, shortly after 2.20pm to a two-year-old child with their head trapped in a table.

Firefighters released the child’s head using cutting gear.

And a crew was called out to Foxwood Close, Aston, near Bampton, at 4.25pm to help an eight-year-old girl down from a tree.

The fire crew reached the little girl using a six metre ladder and helped her to safety.

Neither child was injured.
