The owners of a house in Croydon, England went out into their garden last week and found the fox with his head stuck in a spare wheel. They called the RSPCA for help because the fox was trying to free itself but was unable to escape.
An RSPCA volunteer arrived and helped the owners put some oil on the fox's neck in the hope that the wild animal would be able to slide its head out. However, their efforts were unsuccessful and, with the fox growing more painful by the minute, they had to send for the local firefighters to cut the fox free.
"This poor fox was really struggling to free himself and was in fear, so I knew we had to act quickly," RSPCA officer Kirstie Gillard said. "His neck had swollen from where he'd been wildly pulling his head, so there was no way that he was going to pull himself free."
The London Fire Brigade was quickly on the scene, using special equipment to cut through the metal and free the fox. "Thankfully, the London Fire Brigade were able to spare a bit of time to come out to the home, and while we waited, I offered him some water which he was grateful for," Gillard added. “I checked the fox over and as he wasn’t injured, I was able to set him free. I'm so grateful to the London Fire Brigade for helping this fox. He really wouldn’t have been able to free himself without help from us all.”
