Her co-workers attempted to free her but were unsuccessful.
They then transported her to the fire station in the back of a van, keeping the chair close to her nose to prevent further injury.
Upon arrival, firefighters had the woman sit on the chair, facing the backrest, as they wheeled her towards the fire station.
Throughout the rescue, the team maintained a light-hearted atmosphere, likely to ease the woman’s tension before getting to the serious work.
They brought out a metal cutter, an axe, and a chainsaw, playfully pretending to use them for the operation.
