A SWAN which had become entangled in fishing wire in Appleton Reservoir was rescued by firefighters yesterday, Sunday.
The water rescue boat from Warrington Fire Station and the animal rescue team from Knutsford were called to the scene off Park Lane at around 6.20pm.
Firefighters worked together to put the bird inside a swan bag before bringing the animal on to land at the edge of the water.
The swan was then handed over to RSPCA officers.
