    Harrogate firefighters rescued two dogs yesterday when they got stuck in a car on one of the hottest days of the year.

    The car self-locked when the owner went into the boot and was unable to get back into the vehicle shortly after 11am.

    With the temperature rising, and the dogs still in the back of the car, the owner summoned help.

    The fire crew was called to the incident at Harlow Carr Gardens, Harrogate.

    North Yorkshire Fore and Rescue Service's incident log says:

    "Crews cooled the vehicle with one hose reel jet, then released the dogs using a glass punch and gave water to them."
