A fox has been rescued by Carlton fire crews after becoming stuck in a wall gap between properties in Mapperley.
The animal in question was a curious little fox who had got stuck between a wall and an outbuilding on Kent Road.
The Carlton Fire Station crew quickly got to work formulating a plan to rescue the fox.
With authority from the home owner and a little help from a local builder the wall was partly removed to allow the animal to be freed.
A spokesman for the fire station said: “We suspect the fox was looking for an easy meal but then got stuck when the rendering on the outbuilding stopped it in its tracks.
“Once rescued the fox was given a check over and allowed to return to its den.
“We’d like to thank the local builder for the help, and the homeowner who couldn’t do enough to help us.”
Bless! Well done to all who carried out the rescue
