The Essex County Fire and Rescue Service (ECFRS) were called out to an abandoned laundry site in Epping to find the three individuals, who are believed to be in their late teens, stuck inside the industrial-sized machine.

The operation was large in scale, as fire crews were joined by Essex Police and the Helicopter Medical Emergency Service in a bid to free the men.

Fire crew watch manager Glenn Jackson told LADbible: "It was a difficult site to access and we had to carry a lot of heavy equipment a large distance from the appliances to the tumble dryer and then use our expertise to free the men safely."
