A mother had to call the fire brigade this morning after she locked herself out of the house while her baby was inside.
A fire crew from Durham City were called out shortly after 10.45am when the woman rang for help to get back into her home in the luxury Highgate development, on Framwellgate Peth.
Crews used ladders to gain entrance to the upper floors of the three-storey townhouse, close to the city centre, and within 15 minutes mother and daughter were reunited.
