A SHEEP was rescued by firefighters after it was on the 'wrong side of a fence' close to a cliff edge. Bridport Fire Station responded to numerous calls from the public about the animal close to the cliff edge in Eype, near Bridport at 2.13pm on Saturday, April 3. Due to the calls from the public and the chance that someone could put themselves in danger by attempting to rescue the stricken sheep, firefighters took it upon themselves to recover the farmland animal. Firefighters recovered a section of the fence and ushered the sheep back into the field. The firefighters then put the section of fence back in place before departing the scene.
