Two calves became trapped in a slurry pit in Derrylin on Wednesday night. Emergency services arrived at the Belturbet Road location around 7.12pm.

The Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service dispatched five appliances to the scene. These included two from Lisnaskea Fire Station, two specialist rescue teams from Central Fire Station, and one animal rescue team from Omagh Fire Station.

Firefighters employed specialist equipment to free the calves. They completed the operation and departed shortly before 9.30pm.

The rescue coincided with a scheduled recruitment information evening at Lisnaskea Fire Station for on-call firefighters.
