All in a week's work: Aylesbury Vale fire crews rescue animals and help child

On Wednesday night (June 5) fire crews provided assistance to the RSPCA just after 10pm to rescue a pigeon in difficulty.

Crews used a 13.5-metre ladder and an animal rescue bag to release the pigeon which was trapped on a balcony in Viridian Square, Aylesbury.

The following day (June 6) firefighters removed a plastic ball which was stuck on a boy's finger.

Crews were called to a property on Burleigh Piece in Buckingham just before 1.30pm - the good news is that the boy was uninjured.

Then in the early hours of this morning (Friday) crews were called to rescue a cat in Wendover.

The cat was not stuck up a tree but instead managed to get itself stuck in the engine compartment of a car.

Crews were called to an address in Scarlett Avenue, Wendover at around 12.30am - the good news is that the cat was uninjured.
