Firefighters rescued fox cub with head stuck in wall

An adventurous fox cub had to be rescued by firefighters after poking his head through a hole in a brick wall and getting stuck.



Firefighter John Griffin was among those called to the house in Sutton, Surrey, last week.

“An extension was being built at the back of the property and a family of foxes had got in under the floor. There was a hole in one of the breeze blocks and the cub had got its head stuck.



“We covered the fox over with a towel and chiselled the wall around it and as soon as it was free it ran straight back under the floor boards.” The Brigade were called at 22:07 and the incident was over at 22:40.
