Firefighters in eastern China freed two children stuck in thick mud after they became trapped.

The video, filmed in the city of Zhangjiagang in Jiangsu Province on January 5, shows two boys with their lower bodies submerged in the mud.

14 firemen arrived on-site quickly and put out wooden planks on the mud so they could safely approach the boys.

They then used their bare hands to dig the mud away and poured water inside to make the mud loose before lifting the boys out.

The children were rescued successfully after 20 minutes, according to reports.

近日，张家港有两个孩子玩穿越泥地，不料反被淤泥困住，两个人像两棵种在地里的萝卜，得找人把他们“拔”出来。
1月5日下午，张家港市消防救援大队锦丰中队接到警情：锦丰镇水厂路旁的一片空地上，有两个孩子被困住了。14名消防员火速到场，只见两个10岁左右的男孩，下半身全陷在淤泥中。
当时天挺冷的，两个孩子的双腿早就麻了。消防员们赶紧在泥地里铺设木板，将安全腰带绑到男孩身上，一边将男孩往上提，一边挖开他们身下的淤泥。20分钟后，两个男孩先后被“拔”出，成功脱困。
