Firefighters were sent on an emergency call early today - to help an elderly lady defrost her fridge.
The 92-year-old dialled 999 when she became concerned about the icebox of her fridge freezing up.
She feared it was a fire hazard and at 1.45am called the fire brigade to her home in Boundary Road, Worthing.
A brigade spokesman said: "They do get a little bit worried at that age. We gave her some advice on how to defrost her fridge."
