Content: Firefighters Rescue Man Stuck In Drain 5 hours 7 mins ago © Sky News 2009 A man has had to be rescued by firefighters after getting stuck in a drain trying to fish out some keys. Related photos / videos Graham Todd, 32, dived in feet first when his best friend's girlfriend dropped her keys into the sewer outside her home in Blackley, Manchester. Graham, who is 6ft tall, took off the cover of the foot-wide man hole and jumped in. However, after a few minutes of digging around in the mud, he realised he could not find the keys and had got stuck. Friends and neighbours tried to get him out but soon gave up and called the fire brigade. The unemployed man, from Wythenshawe, said: "The things you do for your friends when they are in a predicament! "Nobody else would go down there, so they called me because they knew I'd be up for it." Mr Todd was eventually hoisted out and hosed off in the street by firefighters. Anne-Marie Jones, whose keys he was searching for, told the Manchester Evening News: "It was hilarious, but he is mad and he'll do anything." She added: "When he came out he was manky from all the mud and oil down there and all the kids on the street said he stunk - but I didn't get close enough to find out!" Commander Mike Bloomfield, of Blackley fire station, said: "When we got there all we could see was the top of his head, poking out of a hole in the road. It was quite comical." A fire service spokesman added: "We would urge people to think about the consequences of placing themselves in dangerous positions to retrieve items."
