Young lover stuck in bog

A young woman who tried to climb into her boyfriend’s home through a toilet window got stuck and had to be rescued by firefighters.

The 21-year-old climbed into the house at about 6am on June 29 after a dance party at the Vector arena.

Avondale firefighters were called to assist.

"The young lady decided to get in by climbing through the toilet window," senior station officer Paul Turner says.

"But she couldn’t go back and couldn’t go forward."

Mr Turner says the boyfriend had forgotten to leave a key. Personnel tried unsuccessfully to contact him and broke into the house.

"She was in quite a bit of pain so we went in," Mr Turner says. "She was extremely embarrassed."
