Girls rescued from bathroom

Two children had to be rescued by firefighters after they got locked in a bathroom at a Shropshire home.

Crews from Baschurch used a nine-metre ladder to reach the girls, aged six and four, who became locked in the bathroom at their grandparents' home in Knockin Heath, Kinnerley, at about 7pm yesterday.

Peter Morgan, watch manager, said: "Luckily, the window was open."
