Firefighters had an early start as they rescued a member of staff trapped in a lift at a residential building.

One crew from Great Yarmouth fire station was called at around 5.33am this morning following reports of a person stuck in a lift.

Fortunately the staff member, who was at a property on North Denes Road in Great Yarmouth, had just a few minutes to wait before firefighters arrived.

Moments later the crew had managed to open the lift doors and the individual was retrieved from inside.
