Purr-fect!
JUST TO PROVE that these things really do happen! A fire crew rescued a cat on Friday 9th March 2012!
The cat had got stuck 8 feet up a chimney ledge on Westlands Close, Hedon.
It was rescued by the Fire Service using chimney rods, a ladder and roof ladder and Thermal Image Camera.
You’ll be pleased to know that the adventurous moggie was un-injured and left in care of its owners.

HUMBERSIDE Fire & Rescue Service reported another small fire today in the derelict sports hut on Draper’s Lane, Hedon.
The incident attended at 2:20pm this afternoon is the second such fire in as many months: See December Fire at Hut.
Derelict in November 2009
Warning notice posted September 2009
A FIRE CREW attended a small fire in the derelict changing rooms on Draper’s Lane, Hedon yesterday (8th December 2011).
The incident report from Humberside Fire & Rescue Service says that the fire was tackled with a hose and breathing apparatus kit.
The Hedon Blog highlighted the case of this derelict building over two years ago. At that stage both the Hedon Town Council and East Riding Council denied any responsibility for the building.
Perhaps in light of this current fire incident, this ought to be a matter that these two bodies should collaborate upon? Between them they could resolve the ‘responsibility’ issue and sort out what should happen to this eyesore?
HUMBERSIDE FIRE & RESCUE is asking people to take extra care when decorating their homes for Christmas – particularly the Christmas tree!
