SHEEP may safely graze once more, thanks to Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service.
Crews from Wokingham Road fire station and the water rescue team from Caversham Road Fire Station were called to Waltham Road in Ruscombe at 8.40am on Sunday, April 2.
Upon arrival, crews discovered a flock of more than 50 sheep stranded in deep water. Firefighters assisted the farmer in successfully rescuing all the animals, totalling 24 ewes, 27 lambs and one ram.
They were on the scene for just under five hours.
