Firefighters rescue child from package drop box - WNEM TV 5

Firefighters used a pry bar to quickly free a child who got trapped inside a drop box for packages at a Michigan business.

The rescue happened Thursday night in Saginaw County's Buena Vista Township.

Firefighter Robert Schultz of the Buena Vista fire department tells The Associated Press that someone apparently left the door of the drop box open and the child got inside and closed the door. He says there wasn't too much to the rescue and the child was fine. He didn't know the child's age.

MLive.com reports the drop box for packages was removed following the rescue from outside the business, a Flying J gas station and travel center.
