Firemen rescue Portslade girl stuck up tree after trying to save cat

Firemen rescued a young girl who became stuck up a tree in Portslade last night.

The girl had climbed the tree in Locks Crescent, Portslade, to try to rescue a cat which appeared to be stuck.

East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service said that the call came in at just after 9pm.

A crew from Hove turned out and used a ladder to reach the girl. She was brought to safety unhurt.

The job lasted just ten minutes.

In the meantime the cat had made its own way down.
