During a powerful weekend nor'easter that brought rain, wind, and flooding to the East Coast, firefighters in Middletown Township, New Jersey, responded to an unusual rescue call. Crews from Old Village Fire Company and Middletown Township Fire Company No. 1 collaborated to free a young doe that had become trapped in a metal fence.
Utilizing a saw, the firefighters meticulously cut through the fence to free the animal. To protect the doe from sparks and debris during the operation, a pink blanket was draped over her. The department shared images of the rescue on Instagram, noting that the doe was unharmed and promptly ran off after being freed.
This incident underscores the hazardous conditions wildlife can face due to environmental changes, with deer often requiring rescue. In a separate event in July, firefighters in Astoria, Oregon, assisted a fawn that was found on a home's roof.
