Firefighters from Kidwelly have rescued three lambs after the animals became trapped deep inside an underground stone culvert near Monksford Street.
Crews were called out at 9.39pm and found the lambs approximately 20 metres down a culvert buried three to four metres underground. With no straightforward way in, they used a hose inflation kit, general purpose lines, shovels and spades to dig a series of holes along the surface to locate the culvert before retrieving the animals.
All three lambs were safely returned to their owner. The crew left the scene at 11.46pm.
Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service shared photos of the rescue team with two of the lambs — all smiles despite being caked in mud after more than two hours of digging in the dark.
It is not the first time the Kidwelly crew have gone above and beyond for local animals — as Swansea Bay News reported, fire crews also rescued 34 animals from a Carmarthenshire dog sanctuary when flooding struck the area.
