He shared a picture of the fie engine outside the family home and a photo of the pet, safely back in his cage.

And he revealed that son and daughter Layton and Libby were thrilled by the arrival of the fire engine.

He told his 305,000 followers: "Huge thanks to the lads who came to ours from @CDDFRS for rescuing our rabbit after getting trapped behind a wall.

"Our kids were more happy having a Fire Truck on the drive than when they got him out."
