A student got her arm stuck in a vending machine.

Assistant Chief Donald McKay says firefighters were called to Amherst-Pelham Regional Middle School on Thursday to free the girl, who was reaching up and into the vending slot in an attempt to retrieve a bottle of water that she had paid for, but got stuck.

McKay tells The Republican (http://bit.ly/A9BBh0) newspaper she was stuck to her shoulder for about 20 minutes.

She was not seriously hurt but complained that her hand was cold from being stuck in the refrigerated section. She refused medical treatment at the scene but her mother brought her to the family pediatrician.

He did not release the girl's name.
