A FIRE crew from Crediton was called to assist a mother who had accidentally locked herself out of her flat at St Andrew’s Court, Alexandra Road, Crediton, with her two-years-old son inside, just after 3.30pm on Tuesday, October 20.

The mother said the child was safe and well at the time of her call to Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service but she was said to be understandably worried.

The Crediton firefighters used small tools to gain entry to the flat at 4.18pm, when the little boy was safely reunited, unharmed, with his mum.Alan Quick
