A total of 25 firefighters will be dispatched to help one cat who has stopped getting off the roof.

Animal rescue may be taken up as "heart-warming news" in local news etc., but a bit of a fuss about a little fuss has occurred in the UK.

It means that a total of 25 firefighters have been dispatched to help one cat who can not get down from the roof.

The details of the rare incident in which 25 firefighters have been dispatched for one cat is from the following.Operation overkill: 25 firemen and five engines sent to rescue one cat stranded on roof | Mail Online

According to this article, a total of 25 firefighters have dispatched a total of 25 firefighters to surpass the common sense to help the cat that Suffolk Fire Department climbed to the roof of the private house's second floor and could not go down. It is said that.

Based on the "safety and hygiene rules" established by the country, five pairs of fire brigades, 25 firefighters in total to support one cat, were dispatched, but the cost is roughly 1500 It is said that it amounts to pounds (about 20,000 yen), and you can see that it is quite large.

The Suffolk Fire Department dispatched a ladder truck and two strong staff members from a location that is about 60 miles away from the on-site private house. Besides that, we also dispatched persons who had special training on work at high places, one each from a distance of 20 to 30 miles (about 32 to 48 km) from the scene.

Ironically, however, despite the large number of firefighters rushed, including members who came from afar, the cats were deliberately rescued by members of the local firefighting team who went up to the roof with a ladder hanging up, He seems to have returned home without doing anything. In the Firefighters' Rescue Action Guidelines, it seems that it was possible to help the cat, even if it was not a specially trained firefighter, because it was permitted temporary to rescue the ladder.


According to the firefighters' association, the Suffolk firefighting group recently said that "the rule to guarantee the safety of employees who work at elevated locations" in the country whose standards were raised in 2005, is the reason why this kind of situation happened, It seems that it took in the special training person from the distant place because it complied with it. In addition, the Suffolk State Council is an animal protection group "RSPCA"In response to the report, according to the regulations of the country has announced that fire brigades have been dispatched, but as a result the orders to dispatch have finished in swing.

Even in the UK, the cost of fire brigade dispatch is covered by tax. A taxpayer group spokesperson said, "It is absurd to think that as many as five fire brigades are going out to help only one cat, although the safety of the fire fighters should of course be protected, It reacts excessively to the office, and it is overkill to concentrate on so-called easy work in the office work way, it is a waste of taxes. "

Andy Vingoe, director general of the Suffolk branch of the firefighters' group, said, "If cats can not get down from the roof, the owner should worry about it and save the pet, the owner's rescue action and the fire brigade It is honestly that there is not much difference.It is obviously too much to dispatch firefighting teams to one cat so much that if you have another serious incident happening at that timing, "It is a complaint."

Teresa Saunders (49), a neighbor who witnessed this "incident" said, "I do not know who the owner is, but the firefighter quickly helped me catch up on the task well," As I answer the interview, it seems that this incident has been solved peacefully from the viewpoint of a citizen for the time being, contrary to the internal circumstances. By the way, cats are supposed to have run to somewhere immediately after rescue.
