Keighley and Shipley crews were involved in the rescue
A PARROT was given oxygen by a firefighter today after being rescued from a flat blaze in Keighley.
The 17-year-old male African grey parrot was trapped in a bedroom of the ground floor flat in North Dean Road shortly before 12pm.
The two occupants of the flat were out shopping at the time of the incident and the parrot was found in a cage by fire crews from Keighley and Shipley.
Watch Commander Mick Rhodes, of Keighley fire station, said: "The parrot was given oxygen therapy by one of the firefighters and was okay."
The flat above the fire was heavily smoke logged but no-one was in the property at the time.
The fire is believed to have started due to an electrical fault in the bedroom.
