a crew helped police after a passerby reported hearing a dog barking in a storm drain.
Crews found the dog stuck in mud and water in the corner of the drain with only his head out of the water. “One of our firefighters climbed down into the storm drain and stood on a piece of metal that was sticking out of the concrete,” the fire department said. “His colleagues above grabbed a search rope and passed it down through the hole.”
The firefighter then slipped the rope around the dog’s neck, and the crew pulled from above while the firefighter lifted from the bottom. “The RPD officer wrapped the dog up and delivered him to VVC ,” the fire department said. “The entire call lasted less than 10 minutes for us.”
