Today Carlton Fire Station crews were called to a small animal rescue on Kent Road, Mapperley.
A spokesperson said:
‘The animal in question was a curious little fox who had got stuck between a wall and an outbuilding. We suspect it was looking for an easy meal but then got stuck when the rendering on the outbuilding stopped it in its tracks.
‘The crew quickly got to work formulating a plan to rescue the fox.
‘With the authority from the home owner and a little help from a local builder the wall was partly removed to allow the fox to be lashed by the RSPCA Nottingham.
‘Once rescued the fox was given a check over and allowed to return to its den.
‘We’d like to thank the local builder for the help, and the homeowner who couldn’t do enough to help us.
‘The RSPCA officer who attended gave words of advice.’
