Curious Fairfield Child Gets Head Stuck Inside Library Statue
FAIRFIELD (CBS SF) -- A curious little boy has been rescued by Fairfield firefighters after his head became wedged inside a stone statue at the Civic Center Library, authorities said.
Fire officials said library officials called them on Monday to report the boy's dilemma. He apparently decided to give the oriental ornamental lion statue a close up look when he could not pull his head out.
