"Six-year-old Dachshund, Tosca, went on adventure in Hackney and disappeared down a fox hole. Thankfully, Homerton crews and Bethnal Green's Fire Rescue Unit came to the rescue and arrived with their specialist equipment, including a snake-eye camera that they used to locate the runaway pup. Tosca was found about three feet below ground level, stuck in a tunnel. After some careful digging, firefighters freed Tosca and safely reunited them with their owners."
"The London Fire Brigade said the rescue mission took just over two hours. Firefighters love animals and we're ready, willing and able to assist distressed or injured animals the last thing we want is for people to put themselves at risk rescuing an animal themselves but we do encourage people to call the RSPCA in the first instance and we will assist if our specialist equipment is required, as in this case."
Tosca, a six-year-old dachshund, vanished down a foxhole on Victoria Park Road in Hackney and became trapped about three feet underground in a tunnel. Homerton crews and Bethnal Green's Fire Rescue Unit located the dog using a snake-eye camera and spent just over two hours carefully digging to free Tosca. Firefighters successfully extracted the dachshund and reunited the dog with its owners. The London Fire Brigade emphasized that firefighters are willing and equipped to assist distressed or injured animals but urged people not to endanger themselves and to contact the RSPCA first unless specialist equipment is needed.
