Fire crews on standby at another Doncaster station were involved in an ‘unusual’ rescue, when they came to the aid of a deer which had fallen into a canal.

Officers from Askern Fire Station were covering for Thorne Fire Station when the drama happened last night.

A spokesman said: “Bit of an unusual job. We recieved a call from a member of the public for a deer stuck in the canal at Stainforth.

“Deer located safe and sound, no longer in the water.”
