Are the lunatics really running the asylum

I just finished getting my expanded heating system online and had a look at the news.

Headline,

Essex: Firefighters rescue three men trapped in a tumble dryer

Three teenage idiots, so what is new? Well normally I'd think the same. If it were not for this, later in the article.

The fire service had to call out Essex Police, the helicopter medical emergency service (HEMS) and the ambulance service's hazardous area response team to help free the young men.

WTF??

That pic cannot be of the type of thing they climbed in to. The one where I take my duvets and blankets for cleaning has a door about 1.5m (5') in diameter and is about 2.4m (8') tall.

The response does appear to be a bit (lot) OTT.
