Knaresborough firefighters dealt with an unusual call-out last night when a man ran into problems retrieving his shoe.

The man climbed on to the roof of Knaresborough Community Centre on Stockwell Avenue in pursuit of his footwear.

It is not known how the shoe got there but the person then required help getting down.

North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service's incident log said firefighters were summoned at 8.15pm last night. It added:

"Crews from Knaresborough assisted a young male down from the roof of the community centre after trying to retrieve his shoe.
"A triple extension ladder was used."


Further details about the man, and what happened to his shoe, have not been revealed.
