Forty Firefighters To Save A Sheep
`Fire chiefs are reportedly blaming health and safety regulations for the decision to send 40 firefighters to rescue a single sheep.
The emergency services received a 999 call when the animal got trapped on a ledge above a flooded quarry in Bacup, Lancashire.
The sheep’s owner was amazed when seven fire crews were sent to his aid.
They performed a delicate, two-hour operation involving a team using wetsuits and an inflatable boat.’
