Firefighters have rescued a sheep after it fell into the river and was unable to get out.

Three firefighters, who are trained in swift water rescue techniques, launched the boat to rescue the animal.

One of the firefighters then entered the water and assisted the sheep on to the riverbank. It then ran around the field none the worse for its ordeal.
