Firefighters forced to wear gas masks they rescued man who had not washed for fi
Firemen in Germany were forced to don gas masks to rescue a bedridden obese man who had not washed in five years.
Neighbours of the 25-stone man thought their apartment block in the town of Nurtigen near Stuttgart, had been targeted in a chemical attack when firemen turned up wearing bio-hazard suits and respirators.
But it was because of conditions inside the 65-year-old's apartment - described as 'absolute hell' by one firefighter - which forced them into such drastic precautions.
