(CNN) - Firefighters in southeast China's Fujian province
responded to an unusual kind of emergency Sunday - a man had gotten his head
stuck inside a washing machine.
Luckily, he was
pulled out by a team of firefighters after less than an hour, according to the
official Weibo social media account of Fuzhou City's Fire Department.

This unidentified man accidentally got his head stuck inside
the machine while trying to fix the drum, the Fire Department's statement said.
To make sure he had adequate oxygen supply, the firemen
first forcibly separated the drum from the washing machine frame, and then
carefully broke it while the man's head was still inside, according to the
statement.
The man was found to be in good shape after a physical
check-up, the fire department said.
It's not the first time Chinese firefighters have rescued
people who've got themselves in a tight spot.
In April, firefighters freed a three-year-old boy who got
his head stuck in a sunroof and last year a woman got trapped between two walls
while trying to retrieve something she dropped.
