One down, eight to go. One lucky cat managed to survive being caught in the engine of a fire truck. This one's also from the BBC:
The vehicle was being used by a fire service driving instructor on Tuesday afternoon when the driver heard noises from the engine.The lorry was returned to Durham Fire Service headquarters in Framwellgate Moor for closer inspection.
A mechanic was stunned to find the cat inside the fan area, unharmed but a little hot under the collar.
Brigade spokesman Dave Turnbull told BBC News: "The vehicle had been driving around the county all afternoon so we have no idea where the cat came from."
