PACIFICA, Calif. (KFSM) — Firefighters from the North County Fire Authority got a surprise when they answered a call for a cat caught in a storm drain.
It wasn’t a cat.
Turns out, it was a fawn that slipped into the storm drain. According to CNN, the firefighters worked for about 10 minutes to pull the baby deer out of the drain while its mother waited anxiously nearby.
The NCFA, which serves Brisbane, Daly City and Pacifica in California, posted a video of the rescue on its Twitter page.
They also posted a photo of the rescuers, which included members of the Pacifica Police, with the caption “Smiles all around! #FAWNtastic” on the tweet.
Smiles all around, indeed.
