Pig rescued from swimming pool by firefighters

A pig has been rescued from a swimming pool by firefighters.



Dorset Fire and Rescue Service received a call at 4:50pm on Thursday to the pig stuck in a swimming pool in Ashley Heath, near Ringwood. One crew from Ferndown attended as did the specialist animal rescue unit from Poole.

Once in attendance, the crews secured the pig, known as Pigwig, with strops and requested attendance of another appliance which was mobilised from Ringwood.



The crew rescued the pig from the swimming using specialist animal rescue slideboards, strops and lines to haul it from the pool. The rescue was complete by just after 5.30pm.
