Firefighters Try "Baaad" Impressions To Lure Out Trapped Sheep [Video]

<div><p>Firefighters use a lot of high tech tools and gadgets to do their jobs, but sometimes all it takes to save the day is a little creativity. Or a lot of creativity, and a good ear for impressions. </p><p>That's what Crew Commander Gallagher of the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service used when a young lamb was trapped underground. The animal had fallen into a hole and then crawled into a pipe underground. It was stuck too deep inside to pull out, so the firemen had to think of a way to lure it back out.</p><p>Thankfully, Gallagher had an idea. </p><div><amp-facebook data-href="https://www.facebook.com/nifrswestern/videos/vb.1004895212906909/1393448677384892/?type=2&amp;theater" layout="responsive" height="600" width="640"></amp-facebook></div><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p></p><p>His idea was to make sheep noises, so the lamb would follow his voice and crawl out of the pipe. Instead, it seemed happy to stay underground and have a nice conversation with him.</p><p>Afterwards, the crew tried a more modern approach, playing a recording of sheep noises from a smartphone app. This time the plan actually worked. The sheep crawled a little closer to the sounds.</p><p>In the end, the firemen called a local farmer, who sent his sheepdog into the hole. The dog managed to pull the sheep out, and both animals were safely reunited with their owners.</p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/Sheep2.jpg" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img></figure></div><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p></p><p>So Gallagher's impressions didn't work, but we still think it wasn't a baaaaaad idea!</p><h3>Share this post with someone to make them laugh!</h3><p></p></div>
