Fire Control received a request from the RSPCA to assist them in the rescue of a cat.
1 fire engine from Taunton attended. On arrival, crews attempted to rescue the cat using a 135 ladder, but the cat was not reachable so requested further assistance. The aerial ladder platform was sent to help.
Once in attendance, crews set up the aerial appliance and managed to rescue the cat from the roof of a 3 storey domestic property, unharmed.
The cat was handed over to the owner.
