A RESCUE team has been called to the aid of a bull after it became stuck in an East Yorkshire river.
Firefighters from Goole and Scunthorpe were called to the scene, near Snaith, and were able to rescue the stray bull with the help of a local farmer, a drone, boat and sled and a telehandler.
A spokesperson from Humberside Fire and Rescue Service said: “After quite the chase up and down the river, crews worked together with the farmer, to safely lift the bull back onto solid ground.
“A great team effort and certainly one of the more unusual rescues for our crews.”
