A 15-year-old girl had to be rescued by Hamilton Fire after getting herself stuck in a baby swing in a Stoney Creek park.

It took firefighters 20 minutes to free the girl after being called to Seabreeze Crescent around 5 p.m. Tuesday, said Hamilton Fire spokesperson Claudio Mostacci.

The swing had to be cut down and the girl was laid down so firefighters could shimmy the seat off of her, he said.

During the ordeal the girl complained that she was loosing feeling to her legs, so Hamilton EMS was requested.

Paramedics assessed the girl at the scene, but she did not require transport to hospital, said EMS platoon commander Ian Wright.

"It's March break . . . children being children," Mostacci said.
