Following a report of a sheep stranded on the River Aire embankment beneath the railway bridge near Skipton, a team was mobilised to investigate.

A small team of Water Technicians responded, but on arrival no sheep could be located. After a thorough search and photographic evidence was gathered, it was concluded the sheep had moved on or was never in distress. The team was stood down with no rescue required.
