Fire crews removed a patio – to rescue a poodle trapped under a home.
The Swansea West crew firefighters had to tunnel under the property to reach the pup – after being called out at 7.11am on Tuesday. The three-year-old black dog, named Jock, was trapped under the dwelling. The team from Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service had to remove a large number of patio slabs and earth at the rear of the home to find the poodle.
But as they were unable to determine Jock’s exact location, specially trained officers from the Wales Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) Team were called in.
The USAR Team utilised ‘Delsar’ listening and seismic detection equipment and technical search cameras to pinpoint the dog’s exact location – and were able to dig a second tunnel under the property’s kitchen floor to reach him.
A spokesperson for Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service said: “Crews successfully managed to rescue Jock, a three-year-old black Poodle, who was alive and well, and was reunited with his owner.”
