Fire crew rescue cat stranded on roof of house in Milton Keynes
Firefighters came to the rescue after a cat got stuck on the roof of a property in Great Linford.
The incident happened on Saturday (June 13) with a crew from Broughton called following reports of a cat stranded on a roof.
They used a 10.5-metre ladder to access the roof and bring the stranded feline down to safety.
Residents worried about pets trapped or stranded are advised to call the RSPCA in the first instance. The fire service will be called if RSPCA officers need assistance. They also advise leaving a cat struck up a tree or stranded on a roof for 24 hours as in most cases the animal will usually find its own way down.
Firefighters were also called to two vehicle fires – using breathing apparatus to tackle a vehicle fire in Shenley Lodge, on Saturday. They also dealt with a fire which completely destroyed an e-scooter in Westcroft.
And yesterday two crews from West Ashland and one from Newport Pagnell attended a small kitchen fire in Hodge Lea.
Firefighters used a positive pressure ventilation fan to clear smoke from the flat and assessed a man for smoke inhalation.
