OFF duty firefighters pulled off an 'un-baa-lievably' dramatic rescue of a sheep in West Yorkshire.

The West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service tweeted: "'Ewe’ may have ‘herd’ that earlier this week off duty firefighters rescued a stranded sheep from the River Calder near Normanton.

"Un-baa-lievably they used paddleboards to assist in the rescue.

"We thought we’d ‘shear’ the good news with you!"
