Firefighters free dog that
took shelter in abandoned Wirral toilets after hearing claps of thunder
MERSEYSIDE Firefighters have freed a
dog that took shelter in the changing rooms of an abandoned toilet after hearing
claps of thunder. We are told that 1 Fire Engine attended the incident, which
happened on Belvidere Field on Belvidere Road, Wallasey, just before 5.30pm, on
Thursday, 16 June 2016. The 7 year old, Jack Russell, had run through 2 sets of
railings and sheltered in the toilet block after peals of thunder broke out.
Firefighters tried to coax the dog to safety after it hid in the changing rooms
and refused to come out. They used a hydraulic door breaker to spread the
railings to gain access to the dog, who was thenreunited with its owner. We are
told that the crew returned the railings to their original position and remained
at the scene for around 15 minutes. |
