Man stuck in chimney rescued by firefighters

PHOENIX, Arizona (WPVI) -- A 23-year-old man in Arizona tried to pull off a Santa Claus act, and realized going down the chimney is easier said than done.

Phoenix fire crews rescued him when he got stuck Sunday morning.

His two friends say they played a joke on him by locking him out. So, he decided to enter the house by going down the chimney.

It took the crews about 30 minutes to pull him out.

He was not seriously hurt.
