11.54 - Fishponds Road,
Fishponds, Bristol
Crews were called to rescue a parrot from a house after a coal
fire sparked a blaze in the living room, quickly spreading to a
sofa.
When firefighters arrived the elderly man, who lives in the
house, was outside, but trying to get back in to rescue his
parrot.
Crews wearing breathing apparatus used one high pressure hose
reel to put the fire out and rescue the parrot, which was suffering
from smoke inhalation.
The RSPCA later attended and the parrot was given the OK.
The man, who was also suffering from slight smoke inhalation,
was treated at the scene.
