Boy Gets Stuck in Tube Slide and Breaks Arm: Firefighter Climbs in to Comfort Him While He's Treated

Parks are a popular destination for kids’ birthday parties. They’re a hotspot for kids anyway and provide plenty of free and familiar entertainment.

But occasionally the obstacles prove to be just as dangerous as they are fun, whether through maintenance issues or user error.

One five-year-old’s day went from fun and games to misery after he managed to break his arm on a slide and became trapped at a park in 🏞️Iowa.

Thankfully a kind-hearted firefighter arrived with other 🚑First responders and worked to keep the young boy, River, comforted. His efforts did not go unnoticed, and the boy’s grateful mother reached out to the City of Norwalk, 🏞️Iowa, social media to publicly thank him.

“I just wanted to give a huge shoutout to the Norwalk Fire Department,” the post read.
