Pa. fire crews free woman with hand stuck in ATM

[June 03, 2011]  MCKEES ROCKS, Pa. (AP) -- A Pennsylvania cash machine apparently took all those cracks about service fees costing an arm and a leg a little too seriously.

Firefighters had to free a woman who got her hand stuck in the ATM at a suburban Pittsburgh bank on Monday.

Moon Run Fire Chief Paul Kashmer tells WPXI-TV his crew used special equipment to free the woman after she got her hand stuck in the automated teller machine at the First Commonwealth bank in Robinson, Allegheny County.

The bank says it's grateful the woman wasn't badly hurt.

The rescue was the department's second strange call in less than a year. Moon Run firefighters freed a toddler who climbed into a toy machine at a mall in December.
