Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service was called out by worried members of the public who found the animal tangled up in the fence in Sinclair Gardens, Ketley.

A crew from Wellington went to find the fox after receiving the call-out at 12.47pm on Thursday and firefighters were able to release it using wire cutters within half an hour.

The animal seemed to be unharmed by its adventure.
