Dublin firefighters ‘turned cat burglar’ on Sunday to gain entry to a cat rescue centre after workers were accidentally locked out due to a power cut in the area.
The Dublin Fire Brigade (DFB) Rope Rescue Team used a winch to lower themselves into the centre in Phibsborough after staff couldn’t get in to feed the kittens. The charity’s staff found themselves locked out after a power failure in the building , with the DFB hi-line team quickly coming to the rescue.
Dublin Fire Brigade spokesman David Connolly told Newstalk this morning how the impressive rescue came about. He explained: "Yesterday, we got a call to go to an animal shelter in Phibsborough. There were kittens in need of help because there had been a local power cut in the area.
