No this isn’t a joke, you don’t need your eyes testing, I am being serious three fire engines containing at least seven firefighters were dispatched to rescue a squirrel from a pond.
The incident began when a Watford resident spotted a grey squirrel stranded on some reeds in the middle of a pond and called the emergency services, and hey-presto seven firefighters appeared to help the stricken animal to safety by lowering a ladder across the pond to the reeds and the squirrel climbed to safety ah.
Baffling absolutely baffling this is so hilariously mad what planet is the person who answered the initial call on, if you work for the emergency services answering the phone and you receive a call saying a squirrel needs rescuing what goes through your mind to bring you to the conclusion that sending seven firefighters is the solution.
Sending one is stupid enough but seven in three fire engines, really! For a squirrel! Did they not think hmm maybe the firefighters have got better things to do with their time than deal with this very low level problem.
Hopefully the only phone the person responsible for this complete howler will be answering is their own to be told they’ve got the sack.
