DFB once again prove their hero status with frisky feline rescue
Members of Dublin Fire Brigade once again confirmed their hero status earlier when they were called to help in the rescue of a cat.
The frisky feline was on a ledge in the River Liffey, and DFB units from Tara Street station were asked to assist the DSPCA.

Thankfully, the firefighters are trained as rescue swimmers, and once they were stable in the water they were able to secure the cat and bring it back to dry land.
In a message from DFB a spokesperson said: “We were able to assist @DublinSPCA this morning on the #Liffey with the retrieval of a stranded cat at Burgh Quay.
“Tara St firefighters trained as rescue swimmers were able to place the soggy moggy into a carrier and pass the feisty feline over to the care of @DublinSPCA.”
