Hide AdNicola, who turned 49 on the day of the rescue, said: “The firefighters worked so hard. It was pouring down with rain.
“When she came out I cried. It’s the best birthday present I have had. I’m so flabbergasted that they have gone to such a length and the work that they put in - the physical hard work - was incredible.”
