Donkey rescued from swimming pool
Fire crews in Cornwall were called to help after a donkey became trapped in a swimming pool on Thursday night.
The four fire crews were called to Bealbury near Callington where they first pumped out 3ft of rainwater which had collected in the empty pool.
They then used straw bales to make steps for the donkey to climb out.
"The donkey was not injured and left in care of its owners, seemingly none the worse for its ordeal," a Cornwall Fire Brigade spokesperson said.
