Tortoise rescued...from deckchair
A FIREFIGHTER came to the rescue when a giant tortoise got trapped under a garden chair.
The tortoise's owner called the emergency services when she could not free her pet.
Matt Furber, 41, cut a leg off the chair with a hacksaw to allow the tortoise to continue its journey around the garden in Ramsden Heath.
