A Dunedin family's week got off to a mixed start after they had to be rescued by a fire crew when two children locked themselves in, and a parent out, of their Northeast Valley home this morning.
A Fire and Emergency New Zealand spokesman said a crew from Willowbank Station was deployed shortly before 8am to a Primrose Bank property.
They arrived to find two children locked inside the home, and the parent waiting outside.
The firefighters managed to unlock the door and departed shortly thereafter.
