Firefighters in Norwalk, Connecticut rescued a familiar yet unconventional character after Santa Claus got stuck 60 feet above ground.

The rescue happened Saturday night at the Norwalk Holiday Extravaganza. According to a social media post from the Norwalk Firefighters Local 830 of the Norwalk Fire Department, the rescue happened after a person dressed as Santa Claus became stuck.

Norwalk is located along Connecticut's coast along the Long Island Sound, about 50 miles from New York City.

Authorities said he became stuck while rappelling down the side of a 13-story building and a part of his costume entangled itself in the rigging.

"This engine company made contact with the stuck individual via a window on the 6th floor. A safety line was attached to the individual and anchored to the inside of the building," the post said.

The person dressed as Santa Claus was then pulled into the building through the 6th-floor window. Firefighters say no injuries were reported during the incident.
