Canterbury area, including
where possible a breakdown of the type of animals that were rescued
and brief details about the rescue (when and by how many fire
fighters and appliances) - detailing whether the fire service
employ (or have you every employed) an animal rescue specialist.
Please include copies of material which you hold in the form of
paper and electronic records
including emails.
I would be grateful if you would supply this information in the
form of by email.
If I can help to clarify this request please contact me by email.
I look forward to hearing from you promptly, as required by the

Dear Lauren
In the last year [17 Feb 2011 to 17 Feb 2012], there have been two animal
rescues in the Canterbury area.
· 10/05/2011 - 1180: Call to assist RSPCA to release trapped
Seagull from netting surrounding chimney. Comments on the incident log say
“Unable to reach Gull, incident closed, will return later to assist
inspector if needed”
· 30/10/2011 - 2962: Crow trapped between soffit and tiles;
released by Service and removed by RSPCA.
I am sorry but we are not able to provide cost information as animal
rescues are not captured as a functional line within our budget
monitoring. Our animal rescue unit [based at Faversham] is not crewed full
time, as the staff there also crew a water unit, as well as the pumping
appliance.
Best regards
James Finch| Head of Policy & Performance | Kent Fire & Rescue Service |
