DUBLIN, CA — A Murray Elementary School student is safe and uninjured after getting stuck between a portable classroom and portable container around 12:15 p.m. Wednesday, according to the Alameda County Fire Department.
Crews used a come-a-long — a manually operated cable tool that allows people to pull heavy objects. They apparently pulled the container away from the classroom, allowing the child to escape, according to photos posted on Twitter.
When the child wriggled free, a woman was waiting, ready to give him a hug.
