Sub officer Senior-Ellison stated: “In the tip, because of the crews’ laborious work and unbelievable efforts, Oreo was reunited together with his proprietor.”
An LFB spokesperson added: “We at all times encourage folks to name the RSPCA or one other animal rescue organisation within the first occasion and we’ll help if our specialist gear is required, as on this case.
“Firefighters love animals and we’re prepared, keen and in a position to help distressed or injured animals – the very last thing we would like is for folks to place themselves in danger rescuing an animal themselves.”
