Firefighters were seen in Ipswich town centre after being called to reports of a bird in a flap.

Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service were seen in the Ipswich Cornhill shortly after 4.30pm on Wednesday, October 21.

They were responding to reports of a pigeon which had gotten stuck outside Snappy Snaps, next to The Botanist.

However, the pigeon was freed by a member of the public, so no action was needed by the firefighters.

Earlier in the year, more firefighters descended on Ipswich Town Centre when a man was seen on top of a roof in Carr Street.

Firefighters had used a rotating ladder to reach the man, who was arrested and taken to hospital.
