A team of 20 firefighters were forced to knock down part of a bungalow to get out a 40-stone woman requiring urgent hospital treatment.
They smashed through her bedroom and living room walls, before managing to get her outside through a large bay window, which was also broken in the process.
Reclusive Joanne Ettienne, 45, had not left her house in Tingley, West Yorkshire, for three years until the firefighters were called to find a way of moving her to an ambulance.

Joanna Ettienne, 45, with her daughter Crystal, 24, has told how 20 firefighters had to smash through her living room wall to get her out of the house she hasn't left for three years
Miss Ettienne suffers from severe health and mobility problems. She needed hospital treatment for severe infections in her legs and feet and is likely to remain there for several months.
Speaking from her hospital bed, she told how the eight hour operation to move her began when she called for an ambulance and paramedics arrived.
They could not get her out of the house and 20 firefighters and several police officers were called to the scene.
Firefighters faced huge logistical problems as Miss Ettienne was unable to walk and was too big to be moved through internal doors. They were forced to create larger openings in walls.
She said: 'They couldn't move me and I couldn't get up so they tried to make me comfortable. The firemen had to smash my bedroom door and then my bedroom wall and put barriers up to stop it crumbling.
'They lifted me out into the sitting room then they had to smash my sitting room wall and window so they could get me outside. That's the only way they could get me out. My whole bungalow is a wreck now.
