FIREFIGHTERS came to the rescue of a Prestwich pensioner after she accidentally locked herself in her home.
The woman was trapped in her property in Oldfield Road last Friday night when a door handle came off. Luckily, she had access to a telephone and summoned help.
Officers went to a house nearby to collect a spare set of keys from a relative, but they had difficulty in entering the pensioner's home because of a door chain. They had to break a small pane of glass in the door to gain access.
