A quiet night for Bay of Islands firefighters ended with a crew rescuing a cat whose paw became stuck in a washing machine.
A pet owner called the Fire Service around midnight pleading for help because Maybelline, the cat, was going "bananas".
The team at the Paihia station rushed to the home and quickly saved Maybelline and her owner from any more distress.
It is not clear how Maybelline managed to get stuck inside the machine.
