Last weekend, firefighters rescued a trapped sheep in Stafford.
Crews were called to the River Trent, off the A51 in Colwich on Sunday (11 October) following reports that a sheep had got stuck.
After putting on dry suits, firefighters entered the river and were able to rescue the sheep.
The animal was then left in the care of a farmer.
At around 5:30pm, crews left the scene.
