FIREFIGHTERS rescued a 14-year-old boy who had got stuck up to his waist in mud on on waste land at the back of Wharton Lane, Little Hulton.
Crews from Farnworth and Eccles were called at 7.45pm.
They had to use a special all terrain vehicle to transport equipment and fire fighters to where the boy was stuck.
When the firefighters arrived they found two 14 year old boys stuck in thick clay type mud with one boy up to his waist.
The fire crews used special boards and lighting equipment to reach the stranded boys.
Once rescued they were treated by trauma technicians and paramedics for hypothermia.
They were then later taken to Bolton Royal Infirmary by ambulance for further assessment.
Crews were at the scene for two hours.
