Fire crews save stuck pig's bacon

Firefighters had to wade through a slurry pit in Cornwall to rescue a sinking pig.

Teams were sent out from three different areas to deal with the incident at St Teath, near Wadebridge.

Before firefighters arrived the farmer pumped slurry from the 2m (6.5ft) deep pit to stop the pig from drowning.

Fire crews had to don dry suits and breathing apparatus to wade through the slurry to the pig, who has now been returned to its owner safe and well.
