Shropshire Firefighters Show Their Animal Rescue Skills On Breakfast TV

Shropshire firefighters showed off their animal rescue skills live on BBC television this morning.

BBC Breakfast presenter Sian Lloyd was with the animal rescue team based at Wellington Fire Station, where the cameras were rolling today.

She reported how the demands for the animal rescue team, formed a few years ago, were growing from farmers and horseriders whose animals get into difficulty.

Other fire services across the UK were now also setting up similar animal rescue teams.

Rob Sheppard told how animals can be highly strung and react after an incident.

But they are appealing to the people of Shropshire to help identify those most at risk in their neighbourhoods.
