Warning from fire service after dog rescue

The fire service said the person had no safety equipment and may have ended up needing to be rescued themselves

The fire service in Jersey has issued a warning after a dog was rescued from one of the island's cliffs.

A spokesperson for the service described the rescue as "wonderful" but said crews had been left with "hearts in our mouths".

It comes after a video showed a volunteer help the stranded dog from a narrow ledge at Les Landes.

Fire teams said the person had taken a "significant risk" in trying to rescue the dog with "no safety equipment whatsoever".

The spokesperson said: "We don't want to put a damper on this occasion, but we also don't want someone else to take it upon themselves to conduct a similar rescue in future and get hurt or killed.

"This event could very easily have become a human rescue too."

They urged anyone in a similar situation to call 999.
