London Fire Brigade reveals rise in handcuff callouts Firefighters in London have been called to assist people who have become stuck in objects such as handcuffs and toilet seats more than 1,300 times in the last three years. London Fire Brigade said each incident cost taxpayers some £290, meaning the mishaps have cost at least £377,000. Emergency callouts included men with their genitals stuck in a toaster and a vacuum cleaner. The brigade urged people to think carefully before calling 999. Source Now, admittedly I have tried to find out about similar calls to the NYFD, and a few other cities, however, I have not found any actual numbers. Now, I can understand, sort of anyway, genitals in a vacuum cleaner, but a toaster?
