A cat has been rescued by firefighters after it was caught in a chimney for 2 days.
The pet, known as Oreo, ran up the chimney of a Bexley home in south-east London as quickly because the vacuum cleaner was turned on.
Ryan Senior-Ellison, from the London Fire Brigade (LFB), mentioned the proprietor turned “increasingly worried when he wouldn’t come down”.
To save the ensnared animal, rescuers deployed a turntable ladder.
Bexley and Greenwich hearth station crews, together with one hearth engine, a fireplace rescue unit, and a 105ft turntable ladder, had been dispatched to the scene following a name on the morning of March 29.
Sub officer Senior-Ellison mentioned: “In the tip, due to the crews’ arduous work and implausible efforts, Oreo was reunited together with his proprietor.”
An LFB spokesperson added: “We at all times encourage individuals to name the RSPCA or one other animal rescue organisation within the first occasion and we are going to help if our specialist tools is required, as on this case.
“Firefighters love animals and we’re prepared, prepared and in a position to help distressed or injured animals – the very last thing we wish is for individuals to place themselves in danger rescuing an animal themselves.”
