Fire crews were called to rescue a teenager from the flimsy roof of a garage in Edward Avenue, Braunstone, Leicester yesterday.
It's understood a 15-year-old boy had gone onto the roof to help a neighbour.
When he got up there the neighbour realised the roof was too flimsy to take his weight and called the fire service.
A crew from Leicester's southern fire station brought the youngster down safely shortly after 6pm.
