According to reports, firefighters have rescued a total of 2,000 obese individials from their homes in the UK over the past three years. 




Health experts say that the figures expose ’the hidden problem’ of an obesity crisis. The issue diverts firefigters from their normal duties.
Emergency crews were called to 1,866 such incidents from January 2013 to May this year. (according to The Times).
It is believed the number of rescues may be even higher, however, as not every service provided firefighter figures or gave information in the same timeframe.
