Investigators believe the boy’s parents weren’t home when he returned to the house, and he tried to get into the house by climbing down the chimney with an extension cord.

On his way down, he got stuck but managed to get into a sitting position and reached his phone to call for help.

The boy can be heard breaking down in tears while on the phone with emergency services.

Fire crews who rescued the boy said he was covered in soot from head-to-toe and had a bruised ego, but was otherwise fine.
