Firefighters come to rescue of kitten trapped behind kitchen units in Glasson Dock
Firefighters rescued a three-month-old kitten after it became trapped behind kitchen units at a home in Glasson Dock.
The Silverdale crew from Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service were called out at around 6.40pm on Friday, December 12.
The kitten managed to get stuck behind the fitted units, leaving its owners unable to free it.
Using small tools, firefighters carefully worked to release the kitten without causing injury.
The animal was freed safely and handed back to its relieved owners.
The callout came at the end of a busy afternoon for the Silverdale crew, who had earlier been on standby duties at Lancaster Fire Station due to an ongoing large animal rescue elsewhere in the county.
Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service said the kitten was unharmed following the incident, adding that the crew took time to give the “lucky kitten” some attention before leaving the scene.
