220-POUND RAM NAMED RAMBO GETS FIRMLY WEDGED IN A PIPE

A crew from Somerton Fire Station got called out to Keinton Mandeville in Somerset on Sunday because a ram was stuck in a concrete pipe. The ram's name is Rambo. He weighs 100 kilos, roughly 220 pounds, and the fire service says he was "firmly wedged." Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue said the job was unusual enough that the crew had to "think outside the box," which is lip service for nobody has trained for this. They went shopping in the back of the engine and came out with chimney rods, a GP line and a hearth sheet. The rods fed the line around Rambo, the sheet went under him, and then the crew pulled, sliding 220 pounds of humiliated sheep out of a tube on what is functionally a fireplace mat. Rambo was unharmed and left in the care of local farmers. The fire service posted it as a "RAMBO RESCUE!" because of course they did, and noted the call was Somerton's 200th of the year. Two hundred shouts, and the milestone one is a livestock extraction with hearth equipment. Somewhere a firefighter is filling out a report that just says "sheep, pipe, resolved."

Why you should give a shit: Rambo walked away fine because a small rural crew improvised a sheep winch out of chimney gear on their 200th call of the year, and that improvising is exactly what you're counting on the day it's your car, your house, or your dumb ass in the pipe.
