Santa, think of your elf and safety!

WITH snow on the ground and magic in the air, children looked to the sky in anticipation of Santa’s arrival.

But the big man’s entrance at Oldham’s Unitarian Chapel didn’t go quite so smoothly: he got stranded on the roof. Santa had to call Oldham firefighters to come to his rescue.

It was all part of a planned demonstration by the local Fire and Rescue Service to tie in with festive celebrations at the King Street chapel.
