Towcester firefighters save field mouse from hedgerow blaze

“A miraculous little field mouse” has been rescued by firefighters after they spotted it trying to escape smouldering undergrowth.

Crews were called to Walton Grounds, Kings Sutton, Northamptonshire, at about 15:10 BST on Thursday to a grass verge and hedgerow fire when they saw the tiny animal.

“It’s safe to say this mouse was grateful for a drink of some of our water before running off to rejoin his friends,” said a Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson.

They believe the fire was caused by sunlight reflecting on broken glass and urged people to dispose of bottles and other litter responsibly.
