Firefighters rescue dog from plastic pipe

Firefighters from Loughton’s Red Watch came to the rescue of Tango, an English Pointer, who found himself stuck in a plastic pipe running under a footpath in Epping Forest.

It’s believed Tango was spooked by something, causing him to run into the narrow pipe. Crews used chimney rods, positive reinforcement, and a carefully planned approach to encourage him out. Eventually, a firefighter was able to catch Tango and bring him to safety.

Tango is now happily back home with his owner, thanks to the teamwork and dedication of Loughton’s firefighters.
