Four Firefighters Escaped The Sack For Tumble Dryer Prank

Manchester, England (AHN) -- Four firefighters almost lost their jobs after they were caught on video playing a prank inside a tumble dryer.

Firefighters Simon Leyland, Glenn Simon and Chris Wilcox filmed their colleague Andy Bruce climbing into the machine at the Blackley fire station in Manchester, England. In the video, the machine was switched on and Bruce was turned over several times as the trio laughed in the background.

Unfortunately for them, the film was posted on the Internet which caught the attention of their superior.

Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service told BBC that the four firefighters were suspended for their prank, fined and given a written warning.

A statement from the firefighters said, "We recognize that our behavior was totally irresponsible and we're genuinely ashamed and would stress that nobody should try to copy the stupid act that we did."

County Fire Officer Barry Dixon said, "While it may appear amusing to some people it must not be forgotten that the fire and rescue service... works in an environment in which health and safety has to be a priority."
