The service has received several calls from people wanting them to recover vehicles stranded in the snow.

Following the calls, Fire and Rescue Service appealed on Twitter: “This is not the responsibility of the Service if there is no threat to life.

“Crews must remain available to respond to genuine emergencies. Please have your own recovery plans in place!”
