Bull rescued by firefighters after getting stuck in tree

Firefighters were called out just before 11am on October 26 after the animal was spotted with his head wedged in the tree within a field off Barby Road.

Members of the large animal rescue team and crews from Rugby and Southam had to use a winch, strop and riot shield to pull the large animal free from the tree where it had stuck its head that morning.

A spokesperson from Warwickshire Fire Service said the team did “a great job” freeing the animal.

He said: “The large animal rescue team did a great job getting the bull free.

“The bull who crews named Billy was released back in to the field and seems none the worse for wear for the ordeal.”
