Firefighters had to push a woman in a mobility scooter out of a puddle in Telford today.
A crew from Wellington fire station was called out at about 10.10am to a footpath off Whitchurch Drive.
They found the scooter had stopped in an 8in-deep puddle as the woman, belie-ved to be from Leegomery, tried to ride through it.
Leading firefighter Ian Pugh said the water caused the electrics at the bottom of the scooter to short.
