0:00:02 > 0:00:04On Real Rescues today... 'The coastguard are scrambled
0:00:04 > 0:00:08'after a woman reports her husband suffered a freak accident on a speedboat.'
0:00:13 > 0:00:15'He's losing a lot of blood.'
0:00:20 > 0:00:22'An unusual case for Animal Rescue.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25'A bullock is on the loose in leafy suburbia.'
0:00:25 > 0:00:28Coming through, coming through. No.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31'And an emergency at the home of a young pregnant woman.'
0:00:32 > 0:00:36'She's losing consciousness and her heartbeat is low.'
0:00:36 > 0:00:41Just going to need to get the stretcher in ASAP. Just relax, Amy.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Hello and welcome to Real Rescues.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Any emergency 999 call made in the UK
0:01:04 > 0:01:06will come into a control room like this one,
0:01:06 > 0:01:09whether it's police, fire and rescue or ambulance.
0:01:09 > 0:01:15But if anyone is in danger in any of the 1.25 million nautical square miles which surround the UK,
0:01:15 > 0:01:18that alert is called a mayday or pan-pan
0:01:18 > 0:01:22and that emergency is a matter for our fourth blue-light service, the coastguard.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24The call we're about to hear reports an injury
0:01:24 > 0:01:27that even the rescue services had never seen the like of.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30Thanks to Pete and his family, here is the story of his rescue.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33Gentlemen, you might want to cross your legs.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41'It's 2pm on a Saturday in mid-summer at the coastguard control room.'
0:01:48 > 0:01:54'An emergency call comes in from a woman who's sailing with her family in their boat off the south coast.'
0:02:17 > 0:02:21'The woman, Lorna, goes on to describe her husband Pete's horrifying injuries.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26'The volunteer Hamble Lifeboat team are the first to be scrambled.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32'But these injuries are so severe, the coastguard rescue helicopter
0:02:32 > 0:02:34'is called in, as well.'
0:02:34 > 0:02:36All I heard was Alex shouting, "Dad! Dad!"
0:02:36 > 0:02:39And I thought... And stood up.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42And I heard this splash and I knew something was wrong.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46'The owner of the boat, Pete, has fallen from the back diving area
0:02:46 > 0:02:50'but caught himself on a piece of metal called a snap davit,
0:02:50 > 0:02:52'tearing open his groin.'
0:02:52 > 0:02:54So I jumped up and ran to the back of the boat
0:02:54 > 0:02:57to try and see what was going on.
0:02:58 > 0:03:03And at that point, I think Pete was trying to get to the bathing ladder
0:03:03 > 0:03:05to get back out of the water.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09So I knew it was fairly serious because of the way Alex had shouted.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13I said to Pete, "What's wrong?" and he said, "It's bad."
0:03:13 > 0:03:15I think he got out, managed to sit on the back
0:03:15 > 0:03:19and straight away he was into instruction mode.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22"You need to use the radio and you need to call the coastguard now."
0:03:24 > 0:03:28'Within minutes, the volunteer Hamble Lifeboat team are on the scene.
0:03:28 > 0:03:34'Lifeboat medic Liam Dobbin is the first to see the injury and give emergency treatment.'
0:03:34 > 0:03:36As I've come on board as a first-aider,
0:03:36 > 0:03:39I'm the person that's going to reassure them.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42I'm trying to then compose myself and give an honest face
0:03:42 > 0:03:45that it's not too bad. It was quite a shock for me.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50This was the worst I've seen. I've seen a number of people damage their fingers,
0:03:50 > 0:03:56bash their head, head bleeds a lot, but this one was a personal injury to a personal area.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01There was a lot of blood through his hands, all around his wetsuit.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03There was an open tear wound in his groin.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07So I looked up at the casualty and said, "It's all still there."
0:04:07 > 0:04:12But then that mental picture of what I saw first of all has stayed with me for a little while.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Once I'd had a look at what we'd got,
0:04:16 > 0:04:20it was deemed as a major injury, that's when I reported back to our boat
0:04:20 > 0:04:23that we're going to need a medical evacuation as soon as possible.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27'The coastguard helicopter is en route.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30'On board, winchman and trained paramedic Alf Kitwood.'
0:04:30 > 0:04:37We got a call from the coastguard for a chap who'd fallen from a boat and was missing various body parts.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40So we didn't really quite know what to expect with a call like that.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44'The pressure of the dressing is stemming the blood loss,
0:04:44 > 0:04:48'but Pete needs emergency surgery and fast.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50'Alf is winched down onto the lifeboat
0:04:50 > 0:04:53'before transferring to attend the injured man.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58'Pete's ability to remain calm is impressing everyone.'
0:04:58 > 0:05:01When Alf joined us on the boat, he says to me,
0:05:01 > 0:05:04"Hello, I'm Alf," and I says, "Hello, I'm Pete. I won't shake your hand
0:05:04 > 0:05:08"because I need them to hold myself together," and he had a giggle.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11So then he crouched down on the rear of the platform,
0:05:11 > 0:05:14had a good look, as well, and he looked up at me and said,
0:05:14 > 0:05:16"Ooh, that looks a bit painful."
0:05:16 > 0:05:20His exact words were, "I don't even know how I'm going to dress this."
0:05:20 > 0:05:23During the process of looking at the injury,
0:05:23 > 0:05:27I noticed that it wasn't bleeding, identified what was wrong,
0:05:27 > 0:05:32invited him to replace the pad and then I put another one top
0:05:32 > 0:05:36and bandaged sufficiently to offer him enough support
0:05:36 > 0:05:38ready for a transfer.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41'It's a relief to find there are no missing body parts.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45'The bleeding is under control at the moment, but Pete has to airlifted.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51'Winchman Alf has to improvise a bandage to maintain the pressure on the wound.'
0:05:51 > 0:05:55Eventually we figured out one way of making the world's biggest nappy
0:05:55 > 0:06:01and they dressed, basically, a nappy round me on top of my wetsuit.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06'The coastguard helicopter is skilfully manoeuvred over the lifeboat.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12'So Alf and Pete can be winched on board.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21'They head straight to Southampton General Hospital.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24'It's just a few minutes' flight away.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28'Two specialist surgeons have been paged and are waiting to operate.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33'In the meantime, one of the lifeboat crew stays on board the Tanzanite,
0:06:33 > 0:06:38'taking it back to shore so Lorna and their son Alex can join Pete at hospital.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44'Incredibly, just a few weeks after the accident,
0:06:44 > 0:06:47'Pete is back out on his boat with his wife.
0:06:47 > 0:06:52'Thanks to the rescue and the surgery, his recovery is in every way complete.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56'He remembers everything about how it happened.'
0:06:56 > 0:06:59What I actually did, because I couldn't get down there, there was a jet ski,
0:06:59 > 0:07:05I sat here and my idea was to push myself off with my arms over the davit,
0:07:05 > 0:07:07which I actually made, I made the manoeuvre,
0:07:07 > 0:07:10I jumped over the davit with my arms,
0:07:10 > 0:07:13but my wetsuit got caught on the davit as I started to jump,
0:07:13 > 0:07:17it pulled me back in, my legs went under and I went straight down,
0:07:17 > 0:07:23so I was pivoting being held up by my genitalia until it all gave in.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28When I went into the water, it was instantly cold between my legs
0:07:28 > 0:07:33so I put my hand between my legs and where there was a wetsuit, there wasn't a wetsuit,
0:07:33 > 0:07:38there was a great big tear in the wetsuit, and I put my hand where my genitalia should be
0:07:38 > 0:07:40and there was not a lot there, either.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44So I sort of gathered everything up and came back onto the rear of the boat.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49I think I had a very, very lucky escape, considering how bad it was
0:07:49 > 0:07:53and the amount of stitches I've had down there. It looks bad, anyway.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57I was actually told that the lifeboat wouldn't have got there in time to save me
0:07:57 > 0:08:01if it'd gone down the inside of my leg, because I would've bled to death, anyway.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03So I have had the luckiest escape.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08I don't think how serious it was struck me
0:08:08 > 0:08:10until I got back to the boat later in the evening
0:08:10 > 0:08:14and I was left on my own on the boat that evening.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17And that's when I think I really lost it.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22It was just almost a bit like it was happening to somebody else.
0:08:22 > 0:08:27You just read about these things happening but you never really think it's going to happen to you,
0:08:27 > 0:08:31and I'm just really lucky that it worked like clockwork that day
0:08:31 > 0:08:33and everything fell into place,
0:08:33 > 0:08:37otherwise, yeah, I could... You know, Alex could not have a dad,
0:08:37 > 0:08:39I could not have a husband
0:08:39 > 0:08:42and the whole thing could've been totally different
0:08:42 > 0:08:46without everybody working together as a team and getting it right.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01'It's just before rush hour.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05'A call's just come in for paramedic team Charlie Balham and Jason Fullerton.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10'A young woman has lost consciousness at her mum's house
0:09:10 > 0:09:13'and she's 32 weeks pregnant.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18'They're met by the young woman's anxious father and brother.'
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Hello there. What's your name?
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Hi, Amy. My name's Charlie, I'm a paramedic.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35We've managed to get in here. OK. What's been happening, Amy?
0:09:36 > 0:09:41I don't know. I just came from the doctor's. She's just been to see the midwife.
0:09:41 > 0:09:46And I came here and felt really dizzy. Okey-dokes.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49How are you feeling at the moment?
0:09:49 > 0:09:51A bit better? Yeah, a little bit. OK.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54How's your pregnancy been in general at the moment? Fine.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Sorry, it feels like I've dipped it in ice. That's all right.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59There we go. Super.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03OK. And is this your first? Yeah. Yeah? OK.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Talk me back through the events in your words.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09I walked up to the doctor's,
0:10:09 > 0:10:13come back, and I just felt really funny.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17Mm. Just didn't feel right. And she did go out, she did faint, pass out.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Completely out cold? Yeah, completely out.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23No response. Yeah, OK.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26What we'll do first of all is just put these sticky things on your wrists and ankles.
0:10:26 > 0:10:32Sometimes when your heart's in distress, it'll send off a unique pattern of electricity
0:10:32 > 0:10:35and this machine's just going to be measuring that electrical activity.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39Do you mind just uncrossing your legs? Thanks.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43'As paramedic Charlie starts to pick up Amy's heartbeat, he becomes more concerned.'
0:10:43 > 0:10:48Do you know if you've normally got quite a slow heart rate? Have you been told that? No?
0:10:48 > 0:10:50OK.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53It's not majorly slow at the moment. It's certainly not life-threateningly slow.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56'Suddenly, Amy starts to feel faint again.'
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Do you get told that by the doctors? Yeah? All right.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03Well, just relax, just breathe nice and deep, all right?
0:11:03 > 0:11:07Don't panic. Your blood pressure's quite nice and stable, all right?
0:11:07 > 0:11:10So just take nice, regular deep breaths.
0:11:10 > 0:11:15Just try and think about something more peaceful. Just along there, yeah? Yeah. OK.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Can you feel any movement around there?
0:11:19 > 0:11:23Yeah? Just take nice, deep breaths, in and out.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27Jason! Yeah? Can you come and give us a hand? Yeah.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32That's all right, don't worry.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34We're just going to get the stretcher in ASAP.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Yeah, OK. Just going to get her onto the bed, as well.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39If you just assist her...
0:11:39 > 0:11:43'The paramedics need to put her in a different position, making it easier for her heart.'
0:11:43 > 0:11:48OK. Just relax, Amy. I'm going to move these pillows so you can get your head back a little bit more.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Just nice, deep breaths. All right?
0:11:51 > 0:11:55Don't worry about anything. All right? Keep calm. You're all right.
0:11:57 > 0:12:04'In the ambulance, paramedic Charlie wants to check if low blood pressure is the cause of her dizziness.'
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Lots of different beeping and stuff like that going on. Don't worry about that.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10'But her levels are normal. It's not the reason.'
0:12:10 > 0:12:13As soon as I get worried, that's when you need to start worrying.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16But I'm not worried, all right? OK. So no dramas.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21'With such a low heartbeat, it's vital that Charlie keeps monitoring it.'
0:12:24 > 0:12:29It dropped down to 40 when we had that syncope attack episode. OK.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32'Syncope is the medical term for a fainting attack.'
0:12:34 > 0:12:40Let's see. Ah, it's all good. Not too many dramas there.
0:12:40 > 0:12:45All I was looking for mainly was just anything like a heart hiccup type thing,
0:12:45 > 0:12:49anything which was going to be interrupting your normal heart rate and stuff like that,
0:12:49 > 0:12:52but that's all quite groovy. Not too worried about that.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55And your heart rate's back up to normal speed now.
0:12:55 > 0:13:00So, like I say, probably just another cheeky little faint or something like that. All right?
0:13:00 > 0:13:04You all right, babe? 'Amy's mum is going to accompany her to hospital.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07'Charlie phones ahead with information about his patient.'
0:13:10 > 0:13:15I've got a lady here, a 24-year-old lady, who's 32 weeks pregnant
0:13:15 > 0:13:21and she's had a couple of what seem to be syncope-type events.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23She hasn't fully lost consciousness,
0:13:23 > 0:13:28but she's gone bradycardic and her blood pressure dumped on each occasion.
0:13:28 > 0:13:33'Charlie's concerned because Amy's heart has become bradycardic.
0:13:33 > 0:13:38'That means it's dropped below a normal resting rate of 60 beats per minute.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42'The ambulance crew want to know whether they can avoid the emergency department
0:13:42 > 0:13:44'and take her straight to the maternity unit.'
0:13:44 > 0:13:48All right. Thanks. Maternity.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Yeah, maternity. Cheers.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54'By now, Charlie has more details about Amy
0:13:54 > 0:13:59'and it seems her resting heart rate is always a bit on the low side.'
0:13:59 > 0:14:04Looking at your notes, your blood pressures have been more or less around the same level they are now.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07So it's not, like, drastically low.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10So I don't think that's too much of an issue.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15'It's a positive sign, but this patient still needs a thorough check-up.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18'As they arrive, they're met by Amy's boyfriend, Rob.'
0:14:21 > 0:14:22Hiya.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28'Amy will be moved to a more comfortable bed where tests will begin.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36'After a couple of hours, Amy was allowed home.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38'A week later, she was called back
0:14:38 > 0:14:42'for another ECG check on her heart and she was given the all clear.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48'Her mother believes she was reacting to a vaccination.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50'And news of the baby later.'
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Coming up on Real Rescues...
0:14:59 > 0:15:02'The firefighters of Green Watch rush to an allotment.'
0:15:05 > 0:15:08'It's a race to stop the flames spreading to nearby houses.'
0:15:12 > 0:15:15'Police deal with an accident that almost topples a lamp post.'
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Sir, mind yourself, just in case the lamp post comes down.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21'The driver is refusing to go to hospital.'
0:15:21 > 0:15:24You've had an accident. The chances are you'll do it again.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26You need to go to hospital and that's what's going to happen.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33What's interesting is how operators here in the control room
0:15:33 > 0:15:35can help people who are lost
0:15:35 > 0:15:38or trying to help people find people who are lost.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41We can talk to Millie about this.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44You had a call here from a couple of children. Yep.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48Two ten-year-old girls had been out playing in the woods.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50They didn't know which woods they were in,
0:15:50 > 0:15:53they didn't know whereabouts in the woods they were...
0:15:53 > 0:15:56So they got themselves lost. Yeah, they got themselves lost.
0:15:56 > 0:16:01They were completely stuck and didn't know what else to do other than phone 999, which they did.
0:16:01 > 0:16:06They were quite scared, so initially, the most important thing to do was build a rapport with them,
0:16:06 > 0:16:09make sure they felt safe on the phone to me
0:16:09 > 0:16:13and just assuring them that we would get them out and they'd be safe.
0:16:13 > 0:16:19They were quite concerned about where their parents would think they were
0:16:19 > 0:16:23and what their parents would say. Whether the parents would be angry for coming home late. Yeah.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27So you've got the two girls in the woods and they don't even know which woods they're in.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30But you've got them on the mobile phone, so how do you find them?
0:16:30 > 0:16:35We can look at the eastings and northings, which populate on the screen.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Sometimes they populate on the screen...
0:16:37 > 0:16:42You mean when a caller comes up, sometimes on that screen, you get east and north,
0:16:42 > 0:16:48which is a triangulation between the various aerials that pick up mobile phone calls.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52That comes in. What if it doesn't come up on there? Can you ask for that information?
0:16:52 > 0:16:56If they don't populate, we can request to speak with the operator again
0:16:56 > 0:17:01and the operator will then pass them on, providing they have them, they'll pass them on.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Then we can put them onto the mapping system
0:17:03 > 0:17:06and it will show us the radius of exactly where they are.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09And how accurate is that? It's within a two-mile radius.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11OK, so you now know which wood they're in.
0:17:11 > 0:17:16So when it comes up on the screen, the likelihood is there'd be probably one wood in that area,
0:17:16 > 0:17:20so we'd be able to find out exactly which wood they're in, but not exactly where they are.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24Right. So presumably, at that stage, you've got police officers going to help.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Yeah, we've got police officers on the way to find them.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Meanwhile, I said to them, "Is there anyone you can see around you,
0:17:29 > 0:17:32anyone that might be able to help you, tell you where you are?"
0:17:32 > 0:17:35And they'd seen a jogger come past. So I just said,
0:17:35 > 0:17:41"Stop the jogger, explain to him you're on the phone to the police, you need to know where you are."
0:17:41 > 0:17:44And I then spoke to the jogger and just said,
0:17:44 > 0:17:48"Would you be able to just show them a way out of the wood to a point
0:17:48 > 0:17:51"where the police can then come and meet them, to a landmark?"
0:17:51 > 0:17:54But I kept them on the phone, cos I still don't know who the jogger is
0:17:54 > 0:17:57and I've got to ensure their safety. Of course.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00So I kept them on the phone and then they met the police.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04So you managed to get them out and all's well that ends well. Yeah.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07Brilliant. So there you go. They can use a combination of technology
0:18:07 > 0:18:11and a helpful passer-by to rescue the girls,
0:18:11 > 0:18:13which is handy to know, isn't it?
0:18:17 > 0:18:21'Fire Service Animal Rescue specialist Anton Phillips
0:18:21 > 0:18:25'is facing one of the most demanding and unusual cases.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28'A powerful bullock is on the loose in a residential area
0:18:28 > 0:18:33'and Anton's arrived to help police trap it.' Right, OK.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37The police were at a road traffic collision and whilst they were there,
0:18:37 > 0:18:39a young steer trotted straight through the incident.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42It was nothing to do with the incident.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44They were quite astounded as to where it came from.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47The police have followed it out of a large garden,
0:18:47 > 0:18:51I've tried to capture it in a large garden, which was almost impossible.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54'But this Dexter breed bullock keeps giving them the slip.'
0:18:54 > 0:18:56The cattle... Ah, here it is.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00'The black bullock is on the road just ahead of the police car.'
0:19:00 > 0:19:04Right, there's our little steer, who's going to get more and more tired.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07'Somehow Anton has to get a noose around its neck.'
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Well, I've got a rope and I've put an emergency rope on,
0:19:10 > 0:19:13cos he's not very big, he won't pull me around too much.
0:19:13 > 0:19:19There's not a lot I can do until he decides that he's going to go and walk into somewhere.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23But he's been on the move for some time now. He's obviously very stressed out.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Let's see what we can do.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31'With the help of the police car, Anton is attempting to corner the animal.'
0:19:31 > 0:19:34If you could let him go into a garden, it'd be good.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36Don't get too tight. Let the fella do it.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42'With the road blocked at each end, the bullock heads for a garden.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45'But they can't get hold of the animal.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50'It makes another bid for freedom, but Anton's ready for it.'
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Here we go. Right. That side.
0:19:54 > 0:19:59'Success! All they need to do now is keep it contained within the garden.'
0:20:00 > 0:20:05Coming through, coming through. 'But no luck. This steer has got other ideas.'
0:20:06 > 0:20:09The steer was on its own and they are a herd animal.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12This one was also quite young. Obviously very upset,
0:20:12 > 0:20:15wanted to be back with the rest of its herd mates
0:20:15 > 0:20:18and was desperately trying to find them.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20'The chase is on again.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25'The plan is for the police to get ahead and cut it off.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29'And so far, so good, as PC Chris Clayton approaches the animal.'
0:20:29 > 0:20:32Some poor person's going to end up with this in his garden.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34'But suddenly, it makes off.'
0:20:35 > 0:20:39Where is it? Can you see it? 'It's given them the slip again.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43'So it's back in the cars.' Little calves are a pain in the backside.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Yes, absolutely. Absolutely.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50They get old and wise, but saying that,
0:20:50 > 0:20:57young calves, some of them are really, really great escapologists, and this is one of them. There he is.
0:20:57 > 0:21:02'Anton's spotted him again. The police car needs to get ahead of it to attempt another corral.'
0:21:02 > 0:21:04The other thing is, he's extremely fit.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Cos he's now been running for probably about three miles.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11What we don't want to happen, of course, is a collision with anybody.
0:21:11 > 0:21:17'But... as soon as Anton gets out, the calf is off once again.'
0:21:17 > 0:21:22Same tactic again. Great. Oh, he's in, is he?
0:21:22 > 0:21:24'But not for long.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27'They aim for another garden but it's no good.'
0:21:29 > 0:21:33No. 'Anton has to contain the animal in these streets,
0:21:33 > 0:21:37'but all the time, it's heading towards danger.'
0:21:37 > 0:21:40'The animal was moving through a large housing estate
0:21:40 > 0:21:45'and gradually it was gravitating towards the M3 motorway.'
0:21:45 > 0:21:47I need to get round him if I can.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51Now, it actually moved probably the best part of two miles
0:21:51 > 0:21:55of the three miles towards the motorway, so sooner or later, it would've got to the motorway.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58And all the time, it was getting more and more wound up.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01'The rescue attempt has now been going on for 50 minutes.'
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Where'd he go, where'd he go?
0:22:03 > 0:22:08'More expert help has arrived on board an off-road vehicle.'
0:22:08 > 0:22:10That might be a farmer, as well.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13So that would be extremely helpful.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15'It's a farmer, although not the owner.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19'However, Andrew Graddage does know how to corral animals.'
0:22:19 > 0:22:22That's it. 'And the extra manpower is doing the trick.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25'This time, the bullock is headed into another garden.'
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Yep, that'll do. Lovely.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32'And it's got a gate. At last, the rescuers can cut off any escape route.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37'Anton follows closely behind.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39'He's not letting it get away this time.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47'But it's taking the combined efforts of four men to get a lasso on it.'
0:22:47 > 0:22:50BULLOCK MOOS Yeah, I know.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Let's get his head.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55That young steer was extremely powerful
0:22:55 > 0:23:01and the only way to control them properly is to control their head.
0:23:01 > 0:23:06'Finally, they can get a look at the ear tag, which will identify the animal and its owner.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09'A job for PC Lindsay Meal.'
0:23:09 > 0:23:13Thank you, I've got 282115.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17Trading Standards Animal Welfare will read that off the list.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22You can get up now if you like. Let him get up. He's all right.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26Get up, then. Steady now, steady now.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28BULLOCK MOOS
0:23:28 > 0:23:31How far's your cattle box, mate? Ten minutes. Oh, right, OK.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35'But Anton's work is far from over.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38'The animal is struggling for its survival and will not give up the fight.'
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Because this can lash out and kick you from every angle.
0:23:41 > 0:23:45He can kick me from here with his hind leg, smack me in the face.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47It's only cos it hasn't quite worked it out yet.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Saying that, it will do.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54'Farmer Andrew has another idea.'
0:23:56 > 0:23:59ANTON LAUGHS
0:24:01 > 0:24:05'But before they can carry out their threats, transport arrives.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13'To save the bullock churning up this garden any more,
0:24:13 > 0:24:15'they herd it into the cattle trailer.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29'At last, the animal is safely contained.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31'It will now be returned to its herd,
0:24:31 > 0:24:33'a huge relief to the rescuers.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37'But one problem still remains.'
0:24:44 > 0:24:47'Now the bullock is safely installed, the police can catch up with the owners,
0:24:47 > 0:24:51'warning them it could all have ended differently.'
0:24:51 > 0:24:55We came very close to having to call somebody out to shoot it because of the risk to the public.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58I would've done that if it was causing a danger to the public.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05'The owner suspects the steer was chased by a dog on its nearby grazing ground,
0:25:05 > 0:25:08'escaping by going through or over the fence.'
0:25:15 > 0:25:17SIRENS WAIL
0:25:23 > 0:25:26'It's midweek and it's a damp and dingy evening.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29'Traffic cops Matt Waters and Sam Forsyth
0:25:29 > 0:25:32'have been called to an unusual incident in a car park.'
0:25:32 > 0:25:36We've had a report of a two-vehicle traffic collision
0:25:36 > 0:25:38on Watling Street, just up the road here,
0:25:38 > 0:25:42where one person's complaining of chest injuries.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44It's quite possible he's had a heart attack.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49'They're heading for Milton Keynes Irish Centre.'
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Oh, I see.
0:25:51 > 0:25:56'And arrive to find an ambulance and a fast responder already on the scene.'
0:25:56 > 0:25:58That lamp post doesn't look too clever, does it?
0:25:58 > 0:26:01'A lamp post is at a precarious angle.'
0:26:05 > 0:26:09'Matt is briefed by technician Tom Timmins.'
0:26:09 > 0:26:11So he's had a seizure, not a heart attack?
0:26:11 > 0:26:15Not a heart attack, no. Believed to be a seizure. Right. OK.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17'Matt goes to see the ill driver.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20'A friend is also in the ambulance.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22'He came over after hearing about the accident.'
0:26:27 > 0:26:30'People have gathered at the centre for a weekly auction.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33'The man has decided to leave early.'
0:26:33 > 0:26:35As he's leaving the car park, he's had this seizure,
0:26:35 > 0:26:40which has resulted in him having a collision with this vehicle here and it's collided with a lamp post.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44I'm a bit concerned about the lamp post because, as you can see, it's at an angle
0:26:44 > 0:26:46and I feel it may fall at any moment.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50Sir, do you want to mind yourself, just in case the lamp post comes down?
0:26:53 > 0:26:57'Matt starts his routine investigations, but the driver is still confused.'
0:26:57 > 0:27:02Because you've been involved in a traffic collision, I require you to provide me with...
0:27:02 > 0:27:04'The driver can't remember having the accident.'
0:27:04 > 0:27:07You've hit a Freelander.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11'He gets out to have a look. He's very apologetic.'
0:27:11 > 0:27:15Do you want to pop yourself back in the ambulance, keep yourself dry?
0:27:15 > 0:27:19Pop yourself back in the ambulance, cos you're obviously confused.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21'Matt gets the man to do a breathalyser test.'
0:27:21 > 0:27:24Deep breath and blow.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Stop. That's perfect. Thank you.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31'The test is clear.' I'm going to contact the driving licence agency
0:27:31 > 0:27:35and let them know that you've had this sort of seizure, or whatever it is you've had.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39Because if I don't inform them and you go down the road and have another one
0:27:39 > 0:27:43and end up killing somebody or yourself, I haven't done my job properly.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46'Matt and Sam turn their attention to sorting out the vehicles.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49'But their job is complicated by the dodgy-looking lamp post.'
0:27:49 > 0:27:51Hm.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56My fear is if we move the vehicle away,
0:27:56 > 0:28:01the lamp post is then going to give way because it's obviously at this angle. All right, excellent...
0:28:01 > 0:28:04'The man's friend has got the keys to move the van.'
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Yeah, it was in gear.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14'Luckily the van still runs OK.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17'Next they've got to work out if it's safe to move the other car or not.'
0:28:17 > 0:28:20What do you think?
0:28:20 > 0:28:24Do you think? It's not like it's leaning on the car, and if you move it, it'll go boom.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29If I do it whilst you make sure nothing goes past me,
0:28:29 > 0:28:32if it goes down then it goes down, doesn't it? It's done then.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35'The keys have arrived and they're going to go for it.'
0:28:35 > 0:28:37Sam is going to close the road for us.
0:28:37 > 0:28:41I'm going to reverse the vehicle back. If the lamp post goes, it won't injure anybody.
0:28:41 > 0:28:45So, here goes. 'It's the moment of truth.'
0:28:52 > 0:28:54I can't have any doubt.
0:28:54 > 0:28:58Ah, it's going to go nowhere. That's fine. Excellent.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01We bravely reversed the vehicle away from the lamp post.
0:29:01 > 0:29:05The lamp post has held its ground. So we're going to resume.
0:29:05 > 0:29:10'Matt thinks it's job done, but later...'
0:29:10 > 0:29:13What's happening? '..police help is needed inside the ambulance.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16'The driver doesn't think he needs to go to hospital.'
0:29:16 > 0:29:20You need to go to hospital. That's the option, you go to hospital.
0:29:24 > 0:29:29Right, if you suddenly came downstairs and found a man in your kitchen
0:29:29 > 0:29:32that you didn't know who wasn't saying anything, how would you feel?
0:29:32 > 0:29:36Well, let's find out how somebody else felt in that exact situation.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39Millie, tells about this call that you got.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41OK, so, a lady phoned in
0:29:41 > 0:29:44and she said, "There's a man in my kitchen."
0:29:44 > 0:29:48So I automatically thought immediate response.
0:29:48 > 0:29:53So got officers coming on blue lights. Then started asking her some more questions.
0:29:53 > 0:29:57Did she sounded terrified? No, actually, she sounded very calm, which I was surprised about,
0:29:57 > 0:30:00just having said, "There is a man in my kitchen" at 1:30 in the morning.
0:30:00 > 0:30:04Who she didn't know. She didn't know his name, she tried to speak to him
0:30:04 > 0:30:09and he had made no response to her at all. So she asked him what he was doing there.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12Which is even weirder. He's standing there not saying anything.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14She said, "He's standing by my washing machine."
0:30:14 > 0:30:18So she said her son was upstairs, so her son came down to question him
0:30:18 > 0:30:20and he'd made no response to her son, either.
0:30:20 > 0:30:26So I took a description of him, just in case he had left before the police came
0:30:26 > 0:30:30because, obviously, I didn't know what he was doing there. All right. How was he dressed?
0:30:30 > 0:30:33I asked her, I said, "Start from the bottom, can you tell me what he's wearing on his feet?"
0:30:33 > 0:30:38She said, "Beige boots." I said, "OK, beige boots."
0:30:38 > 0:30:42She said, "Camouflage trousers, and a camouflage top,"
0:30:42 > 0:30:45which I thought sounded like army gear to me.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48Even more worrying. Well, yeah.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51And then the police arrived,
0:30:51 > 0:30:55spoke to the male, and it turns out that he was on leave
0:30:55 > 0:30:58and he had had a few too many drinks and walked into the wrong back door.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01Oh, so he did live in the street? He lived in the street, yeah,
0:31:01 > 0:31:03and he thought it was his back door
0:31:03 > 0:31:09and just was too drunk to answer any of her questions, so had no idea she was talking to him.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12How fantastic that she stayed so calm through it, though.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14I know. Would you have been that calm? I don't think so.
0:31:14 > 0:31:18Especially if I'd been on my own. Cos her son was there, it made her a little bit calmer.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20I still definitely wouldn't have been as calm as she was.
0:31:20 > 0:31:25How extraordinary. Poor bloke. Poor her. Poor everybody, really, under the circumstances.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27Thank you very much, Millie. No problem.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35'It's a sunny bank holiday afternoon
0:31:35 > 0:31:40'and the Green Watch fire crew from Southampton is heading to a 999 call.'
0:31:44 > 0:31:48'There's a fire at an allotment and it's spreading.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50'Flames have engulfed a shed
0:31:50 > 0:31:53'and now they're racing up a tree.'
0:31:58 > 0:32:03'The fire is already being tackled by firefighters working from a smaller vehicle.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06'But they can't get on top of it. They need more water.'
0:32:10 > 0:32:14'This is all that remains of what was a large shed.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16'And next to it, a charred fir tree.
0:32:22 > 0:32:25'They need to use the jet hose to get to the flames at the top of the tree.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29'It can project the water higher.'
0:32:35 > 0:32:38It looks like they've got compost heaps and a shed,
0:32:38 > 0:32:42a few bits of garden machinery, or garden bits and pieces,
0:32:42 > 0:32:46and a conifer tree. It's gone up through the centre of the conifer where all the dry, dead stuff is.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50'The back-up crew from Green Watch arrived in the nick of time.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53'The flames were about to move along the line of trees,
0:32:53 > 0:32:55'putting nearby properties in danger.'
0:32:55 > 0:33:01We tried to make a start with the high pressure lance and knocked back a lot of it,
0:33:01 > 0:33:05but obviously it needed the extra water capability of the main pumps and the jets.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13'They don't know yet how the fire started.
0:33:13 > 0:33:17'There's no-one working at the allotment and the occupants of the nearby gardens are out.'
0:33:17 > 0:33:20As of yet, not a clue as to what started it.
0:33:20 > 0:33:24I mean, I don't even know whether the person whose shed it is, he's not here at the moment,
0:33:24 > 0:33:29whether he was here earlier on and has dumped something or left something. I don't know.
0:33:29 > 0:33:34'Firefighter Alex Spreadbury takes the water lance over the fence to dampen down any hotspots.
0:33:39 > 0:33:43'Sheds are well-known storage places for items that become hazardous when hot.
0:33:43 > 0:33:48'The first crew to arrive had to make the area safe before getting too close.'
0:33:48 > 0:33:50So that's the sort of dangers you find in sheds.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52As soon as you cool it, it's not particularly dangerous.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55But, erm, it's got compressed gas in it, even if it's empty,
0:33:55 > 0:33:57so it goes with a bang.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00Luckily, that one, we caught it just in time.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02Otherwise it would've taken the tree.
0:34:06 > 0:34:11'With the flames now extinguished, it's time to thoroughly damp down the smoking debris.'
0:34:18 > 0:34:21The trouble is with timber, where it's a really good insulator,
0:34:21 > 0:34:23it does tend to have what we call bullseyes and things like that,
0:34:23 > 0:34:26little hotspots that penetrate deep into it.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29So you sort of need to cut them out and really get in.
0:34:29 > 0:34:34And they can steam off and do that for hours, unfortunately.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38'Suddenly, just when they thought the job was done,
0:34:38 > 0:34:41'flames are spotted on the other side of the allotment.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43'A hot ember must have floated along the fence line
0:34:43 > 0:34:46'and set alight to the dry undergrowth.'
0:34:49 > 0:34:53'Firefighter Adam Bundle gives it a good drenching.
0:34:53 > 0:34:59'After a thorough check of the area, they empty the rest of their water onto the charred remains.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04'The unfortunate owner of the shed will have to rebuild from scratch.
0:35:08 > 0:35:12'But all is not lost. Wood ash is a good source of potassium.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15'There might be a bumper crop this season.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24'At the Irish Centre in Milton Keynes,
0:35:24 > 0:35:28'traffic cops Matt Waters and Sam Forsyth are needed by paramedics.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32'A driver has somehow blacked out at the wheel of his van
0:35:32 > 0:35:35'and ended up pushing a parked car into a lamp post.
0:35:37 > 0:35:41'But now there's a problem in the ambulance.' Right, what's happening?
0:35:43 > 0:35:47OK. Why's that? 'The driver says he wants to go straight home.'
0:35:47 > 0:35:51Yeah, but what happens if you go home and you're poorly and you collapse and something else happens?
0:35:56 > 0:36:01Yeah, I totally agree. 'Because the driver is still showing signs of confusion and illness,
0:36:01 > 0:36:03'it's possible he could have another bad episode.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07'For his own safety, the emergency crews need him to be given
0:36:07 > 0:36:09'a proper check-up at the hospital.'
0:36:11 > 0:36:13Quite possibly, yeah.
0:36:13 > 0:36:17They're going to force him to go to hospital, which we have the powers to do.
0:36:17 > 0:36:21So my colleague is going to sit in the ambulance to make sure there's no issues and we'll follow him down.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24'Matt tells it to him straight.'
0:36:24 > 0:36:27You've had an accident and the chances are you're going to do it again.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29And you need to go to hospital and that's what's going to happen.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32OK? That is the option, you're going to hospital.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35The reason I'm leaving here, the option is you're going to hospital
0:36:35 > 0:36:37because I'm concerned for you
0:36:37 > 0:36:40and these chaps are concerned for you. Yeah?
0:36:41 > 0:36:43'The driver finally agrees and they set off.'
0:36:43 > 0:36:46It's been ages since I've been in an ambulance.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49'On the journey, he complains of being in a lot of pain.'
0:36:49 > 0:36:54Is that how you feel now? That's why these guys have wired you up now, to see...
0:36:54 > 0:36:56What's the monitors?
0:36:57 > 0:36:59Yeah, and what's...
0:36:59 > 0:37:01Is it?
0:37:01 > 0:37:04And have you complained of heart problems before? Right.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06'It's proved to be the right decision.'
0:37:09 > 0:37:11A police escort into there.
0:37:13 > 0:37:18'Doctors will be able to monitor his heart and hopefully find out what caused the seizure.'
0:37:19 > 0:37:21The journey, uneventful.
0:37:21 > 0:37:26He was asking us, or he was repeating questions over and over again about what's happened.
0:37:26 > 0:37:30But he wasn't anti towards us,
0:37:30 > 0:37:33so he's been brought here and placed under observations.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36'It turned out the driver's chest pains
0:37:36 > 0:37:39'were caused by bruising from the seatbelt.
0:37:39 > 0:37:43'The cause of his seizure is still being investigated.
0:37:49 > 0:37:53'Southampton's Green Watch are on their way to a fire in an unlikely location.'
0:37:57 > 0:37:59'In a shower.'
0:37:59 > 0:38:04J-H-5-4-papa-4 in attendance. 5-4-papa-4. Over.
0:38:04 > 0:38:08'The first hurdle is getting past their colleagues.'
0:38:08 > 0:38:11Nearly had him. Watch his mirrors, though.
0:38:11 > 0:38:16'Crew manager Steve Evans goes to investigate. There's a problem isolating the electrics.'
0:38:16 > 0:38:18Are you all right, Darryl? Is there a bit of an issue?
0:38:20 > 0:38:25There's a fire in the bathroom. We think it's been started in the electrical shower unit.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28So we're in the process of trying to isolate...
0:38:29 > 0:38:31That's firing off again in there.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34'Suddenly, the fire escalates.'
0:38:34 > 0:38:36That's getting worse in there, we're in position now.
0:38:36 > 0:38:40This smoke's getting a lot worse. You want to start to get in there.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45Can we have the two BA men to start up?
0:38:45 > 0:38:49And make sure the water's on. Have you checked the water on the branch? Cos it's starting to go in there.
0:38:49 > 0:38:52'With breathing apparatus,
0:38:52 > 0:38:56'the firefighters can go inside the bathroom and start to tackle the fire.'
0:38:56 > 0:38:59Pump operator, can you make sure you've got adequate pressure on the branch?
0:38:59 > 0:39:02The two BA are going to be committed... It seems to be going a bit better now.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06'Then, just as suddenly, the smoke seems to be reducing.'
0:39:06 > 0:39:10It's calmed down again. It's calmed down because the shower's come on.
0:39:12 > 0:39:16It sounds like the shower's on now. You can hear the water running.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18It's probably melted the plastic pipe work inside,
0:39:18 > 0:39:20so the water that's in there has come through.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23Is there an isolator? Is there a stopcock?
0:39:23 > 0:39:26Have you got a stopcock for the shower? I have no idea.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28What about for the water into the building?
0:39:28 > 0:39:30'The tenant living in the house is Martha.'
0:39:30 > 0:39:35What exactly happened? My husband was just putting his phone on charger, and it wasn't charging.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37So we noticed that something was wrong.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40'Faulty electrics may have been the cause,
0:39:40 > 0:39:43'but the priority now is extinguishing the fire.'
0:39:43 > 0:39:46When you open that door, it's going to be thick in there.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52We've got the fan, Kev, so when you're ready, if you want it,
0:39:52 > 0:39:55we've got a fan here to blow it through.
0:39:59 > 0:40:03'As the door opens, a cloud of potentially toxic smoke emerges.'
0:40:15 > 0:40:18Is there any way you can isolate the water in there?
0:40:18 > 0:40:23I can hear it all running. Is it going into the bath or anything? No. Is it all over the show?
0:40:23 > 0:40:26Blow everything out then we'll be able to see what's going on. OK.
0:40:26 > 0:40:30'Until the fan is in operation, the smoke is too thick to see anything.'
0:40:31 > 0:40:33Take this round the front, yeah?
0:40:33 > 0:40:36'They need to choose the position of the pump carefully.'
0:40:36 > 0:40:39You go to the front, open the front up, we'll blow it through from the...
0:40:39 > 0:40:43Take this round to the front and we'll blow from the front.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45We'll blow from the front out through the back
0:40:45 > 0:40:48then we won't disturb so much of the building.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53Yeah, if we blow it from here, we blow it through the kitchen.
0:40:58 > 0:41:01Did you manage to isolate the water? Brilliant. Well done.
0:41:01 > 0:41:05'It seems the shower has finally shown some self protection.'
0:41:05 > 0:41:07It's burnt itself out, has it? OK.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14Told you! All right.
0:41:14 > 0:41:19'Now it's safe to re-enter, Steve gets the thermal imaging camera to look for hotspots.'
0:41:19 > 0:41:21Everyone's all right, I take it? Yeah, yeah.
0:41:21 > 0:41:24No-one's got any smoke inhalation or anything? No, they're fine.
0:41:24 > 0:41:28'Incident commander Howard Watts needs to inform the fire investigation team
0:41:28 > 0:41:32'about the faulty shower.' Leave it where it is till I've spoken to FI.
0:41:32 > 0:41:36If they don't want to take photos, I suggest we tear it off the wall, put it in the garden.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39If for nothing else, just to stop the acrid sort of smell coming off.
0:41:41 > 0:41:44'Although it's now safe, the fire has caused a lot of damage.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47'It's been a traumatic morning for Martha.'
0:41:47 > 0:41:50We just heard an explosion in the bathroom.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53I went to check and the shower was actually melting.
0:41:53 > 0:41:57And that's when we phoned the fire brigade to see what happens.
0:41:57 > 0:42:01Not a great start to the day. No. Not the best.
0:42:01 > 0:42:07'It may have been one simple act that saved them from a lot worse - shutting the bathroom door.'
0:42:07 > 0:42:11The door is there to be a block in a hole.
0:42:11 > 0:42:16So it does vastly reduce the amount of smoke that travels through a flat,
0:42:16 > 0:42:19which is why whenever we go out and do our visits, we advise people
0:42:19 > 0:42:22before they go to bed at night to close all doors,
0:42:22 > 0:42:24cos it does give you a lot longer time
0:42:24 > 0:42:28to escape from a situation which may occur in your home.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39Before we go, we have some happy news for you.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42Remember pregnant Amy, who was taken to hospital after feeling faint?
0:42:42 > 0:42:44Well, we're glad to tell you, she made a quick recovery,
0:42:44 > 0:42:47and gave birth to a baby boy called Joshua.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51Once again, we've seen today that the emergency services
0:42:51 > 0:42:55are there ready and waiting in our moments of greatest need.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58That's it for today's Real Rescues. See you next time.
