The 18-year-old was desperate to get back into her home in the US state of Nevada but got trapped when the Santa-style move went wrong.

Firefighters from the Henderson Fire Department were called to the scene and put together a rope lifting system to get the unnamed teenager out.

Fortunately, she did not suffer any injuries and was freed in half an hour.

A Facebook post from the fire department read: "Firefighters used a rope system to rescue an 18-year-old girl from the chimney of a single-story house near Horizon and College drives this morning.

"The teen tried to climb through the chimney after getting locked out of her home and got stuck just above the flue.

"Henderson firefighters are trained for confined space rescue and pulled the uninjured girl to safety in about half an hour."
