Firefighters have warned the public about the dangers of unnecessary calls made to their service, and subsequently have revealed the strangest calls they've received over the last three years.

Among the list of calls were a child with a toilet seat stuck on their head and a cat trapped in a gutter after jumping out of a skylight.

Deputy Commissioner Tom George said: ''No matter how strange a call may seem, we will always attend if there is a genuine emergency but you should always think carefully about how to use our resources.

''A number of the more unusual calls we attend involve children or animals so we would always urge Londoners to keep an eye on their youngsters or pets to ensure they aren't getting themselves into sticky situations which could be avoided.''
