Firefighters removed a hazardous TV aerial that was dangling over a public footpath in Buckingham yesterday (4/5).

Crews from West Ashland and Buckingham rushed to a building along Castle Street following reports that the aerial was hanging precariously, posing as a hazard to pedestrians walking underneath.

Firefighters used a turntable ladder to remove the aerial, which was hanging over the edge of the roof of the three-storey building.
