Eltham fire crews have rescued a dachshund after it was trapped underneath a garden cabin.

It was the first call of the day for Eltham Red Watch as south London sees temperatures as high as 27 degrees today.

After some digging and bribing Alfie the dachshund with some ham, fire crews managed to save him. London Fire Brigade Greenwich tweeted: “First shout of the day for Eltham Red Watch was a dog trapped under a garden cabin.

“After a bit of digging and the use of a tasty bit of ham Alfie the Dachshund was rescued!”
