Dog rescue from a culvert
A fresh warning has come for people to not put themselves at risk by entering streams or water.
Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service is giving the warning following a call on Thursday to rescue a dog from a stream.
Station Manager Daniel Marshall said: “Please never enter streams, open water or anywhere that doesn’t have a lifeguard present.
“You can never be certain of the depth of the water, it is a lot colder than you expect and you can easily be swept away.”
