2nd call came in at 14:44 whilst on route back to station. We were mobilised along side Red Watch Wellington, Bishops Castle + Clun Fire Station. This time for a RTC involving a HGV carrying approx 450 sheep. On arrival, the HGV was found on its side with the driver trapped in the cab. Crews worked to release the casualty and he was left in the care of the ambulance service.
Crews then started work on the sheep being carried in the trailer. Due to the construction of this type of trailer, access was difficult but using various different tools we were able to gain access and release the sheep to a nearby field.
Fantastic teamwork from all involved throughout both jobs.
Thanks to the farmers and vets who assisted us throughout this rescue.
Officialwmas + Police were in attendance with us.
Crews returned to station approx 19:30.
