Firefighters rescued a girl who climbed up a tall tree and was threatening to jump.

Epsom's firemen were called to Dulshott Green, in Epsom, last night at 8.10pm.

A fire station spokesman said: "A 12-year-old girl had climbed up to the top of the tree and was threatening to jump.

"We believe she has mental health problems.

"A few of our guys went up there and sat with her for 30 minutes.

"She agreed to come down with them."
