Teenager stuck in Chick-fil-A high chair for 90 minutes rescued by firefighters

AMMON — It wasn’t the type of extrication call the Ammon Fire Department usually receives, but firefighters came to the rescue regardless and saved a teenage girl stuck in a restaurant high chair.

It happened Tuesday around 9:30 p.m. at Chick-fil-A in Ammon where Addison Trent, who turns 16 next week, was enjoying dinner with friends.

Addison was with other Firth High School students dressed as cowboys after attending a basketball game again Teton High School in Firth. They decided to stop by Chick-fil-A and didn’t think they would end up staying nearly two hours.

As Addison remained firmly in the high chair, her friends tried to help her out. They pulled her arms, told her to run and jump out and even had her lie on the floor to “shimmy” out. Restaurant employees assisted in trying to free the girl but were unsuccessful. After 45 minutes, a call was made to the fire department.

“When we got there, she was in high spirits but seemed a bit embarrassed,” Williams says. “Her friends were actively Snap-chatting and Instagramming because that’s what teenagers do.”

Fire crews thought they might need to use a chainsaw or other equipment to remove Addison but they were ultimately able to disassemble the high chair by 11 p.m. – one hour after Chick-fil-A closed. Firefighters then put the chair back together and Addison was able to go home uninjured.

Addison, who enjoyed chicken strips, waffle fries and a large Dr. Pepper during her Chick-fil-A visit, is sore and has bruises after the high chair incident. But she “loves” the restaurant, according to her mom, and plans to go back and possibly apply for a job.

“I promise you she is an amazing, smart, funny and beautiful 16-year-old girl who is accepting full responsibility for her actions,” Trent says. “You can’t be old and wise if you have never been young and crazy!”

That young and crazy girl gave her family, friends and firefighters an experience they won’t soon forget.

“We were glad we were able to get her out of the high chair and not cause any damage and return all the equipment back to Chick-fil-A,” Williams says. “I’ve done other extrications but this is the first of this type in my book.”

I love how the firefighter’s face was (-_-) the whole time 😂

[CanadianArchaeologist]

Cute. Send her the bill for 10 firemen.

[gEnIoOhAzEl]

She should have to pay for damaged property. People aren't taking any responsibility for their actions. 😑

[ParkerKaneCo]

They dragged her on the floor ... this is Chick-fil-A not United Airlines!! 😂

[lynchpintm]

The firefighters seem overdressed for the occasion.

[TheIgnoredGender]

And she still acts moronic while these guys are helping her (when they could be doing more important things).

[alfiedomingo]

She receive an embarrassment injury after the incident

[jorgeortega]

I will not be able to make that 10 car pile up on the highway. Fire Company 12 is busy getting silly ass out of this baby chair.

At least her birthday is one she’ll never forget! 😂

[kevinparis]

😂 So not a single young person working at the restaurant thought of unscrewing the front bar? Our future generation is doomed. 😩

[goodninji]

"You know how that could've been easier-"
Sure, just, uh *DON'T DO IT* .

This shit happens to humans and people wonder how it happens to animals in the ocean.

Recycle my dudes

[takeitezfker]

Nobody had a Phillips? I can't believe they had to call the fire department. She should definitely be paying for the call

[DONTWANTCHANNE]

so they just unscrewed it? no one else could think of that?

[bizbeth]

Lol, I was surprised to see this in Idaho, most crazy shit happens in Florida

[jenniferwills]

Let this be a lesson to you kids, never do a triple dog dare

[LDAR]

The comments are so pissed off at something so benign. I'm convinced people like to call others stupid other tiny occurrences because they're not that much brighter themselves and that's all they have. Like, goddamn. Relax about this, she doesn't need to be billed or sent to jail or whatever the fuck else.

[natalieritchey]

At first I was like where was that, and ironically it's in idaho and I was like that seems like an idahoan thing to do, but usually people carry a pocket knife or something

[Diamondracoons]

All they needed to do was removed the front bar like seriously

[Mike_Capo]

The toughest generation. Man they really make the ww2 generation look bad huh...
