Firefighters came to the rescue when a two year old boy locked himself in a boiling hot car.

The crew from Maidenhead went to the Crown pub in Bray when the toddler picked up the keys and locked the door while his mother walked round the front of the vehicle.

The fire team was called out at 2.30pm as the car got hotter and hotter and had to break a window.

Crew manager Chris Havers said: "The toddler was sweating but he was a very alert and attentive kid who listened to what we said and followed instructions so we could get him out."

Worried customers at the pub breathed a sigh of relief as the youngster was removed from the baking hot vehicle.
