A pig had a lucky escape after firefighters rescued it from a drain. Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service’s Control Room was alerted to the trapped animal at 10.31am on Monday, August 20 (2007). The pig had become lodged down the drain near the banks of the River Hamble at Fairthorne Manor in Botley Road, Curbridge. Control Room staff mobilised a crew from Botley Fire Station and the multi-role Vehicle (MRV) from Eastleigh to the scene along with Rural Safety Officer, Jim Green. Working in partnership with a vet and RSPCA officer, they managed to safely extract the animal from the confined space. —[No photo credit given in article]
