Last updated 9th Feb 2024
Essex County Fire and Rescue Service (ECFRS) have been thanked for their efforts after rescuing a 3-year-old Patterdale Terrier in Great Chesterford.
Cora fell into a 30 metre well last Saturday, just after 5pm.
When Firefighters arrived, they found oxygen levels in the well were dangerously low, and ventilated the well, and used light to help complete their rope rescue.
Cora was thankfully unharmed and checked by a vet after being reunited with her owner.
She fell during playing a chasing game on the farm in Park Road, running into a disused building where she fell into the well.
"We’re so glad Cora was rescued safely and completely unharmed.”
Station Manager Kev Jenner said: “I cannot praise the crews enough for this complicated rescue. The teamwork, dedication and professionalism was outstanding. We’re so glad Cora was rescued safely and completely unharmed.”
