Teen in Clothes Dryer Caused Fire Department Deployment in Mödling

A 13-year-old girl climbed into a clothes dryer in Mödling on Friday evening and could not free herself from the device. The Mödling Volunteer Fire Department was dispatched to rescue the girl from her predicament. An attempt to free her without technical tools failed. As the girl's health condition worsened, parts of the casing were removed using hydraulic equipment. The girl was taken to the hospital for further care.

Girl Could Not Get Out of Clothes Dryer in Mödling

How long the 13-year-old had been in the dryer was unclear to the rescuers, as the Mödling Volunteer Fire Department stated in a press release. Both the fire department and rescue workers calmed her while initially unscrewing the casing manually and cutting off the power supply to expose the drum.

The girl was gently transferred onto a special stretcher for transporting injured persons and carried to the ambulance. She was then taken to the hospital.
