Rescued squirrel 'dived like Tom Daley'

10:06am Tuesday 3rd July 2012 in News

Firefighters who rescued a trapped squirrel from guttering watched it plunge to the ground from two storeys up "in a dive Tom Daley would have been proud of."

A fire appliance from Pembroke Dock was called to the rescue at 2.50pm on Sunday in Lewis Street, Pembroke Dock.

The call came from the RSPCA to rescue a grey squirrel with its paw stuck under guttering on the two storey house.

Graeme Callan, Watch Manager at Pembroke Dock Fire & Rescue Station, said: "The squirrel immediately freed itself and did a dive that Olympic high diver Tom Daley would have been proud of.

"Unfortunately the landing was a bit of a belly flop onto the road.

"The squirrel was fine and ran off down the road presumably in search of its nuts".
