A remote-controlled helicopter had to be removed from a tree by firefighters after residents dialled 999 believing it could fall and hurt someone.

A Bucks Fire and Rescue crew from Beaconsfield were called to remove the toy from a tree which was overhanging a pathway in Hampden Hill, Beaconsfield.

They used a 10.5-metre ladder and a main jet after arriving at about 5.05pm yesterday.
