Dublin Fire Brigade at this stage are used to some unusual callouts.
This week, they helped someone who had managed to get a large bicycle lock trapped around their neck.
Dublin Fire Brigade explained that the key had broken in the lock and warned that this can happen even in good quality locks.
We're still none the wiser as to why it was locked around their neck!
We helped a person with the release of a lock after a key snapped. Keys can break, even in good quality locks. Something to watch out for pic.twitter.com/iwRitiHcbM

Naturally enough, Twitter users couldn't resist the opportunity for some puns.
