It’s a firefighter’s duty to help those in their community when they need saving — whether they be human or animal.
Recently, one fire crew came to the rescue of a deer who was struggling on thin ice.
Last week, the Prior Lake Fire Department, in Prior Lake, Minnesota, received a call about a deer who was stuck on Pike Lake, “struggling get off of the thin ice,” according to a post by the city government.
The firefighters arrived on the scene, geared up and headed out onto the ice — moving carefully as to not fall through into the freezing water.
They crawled across the thin ice on their hands and knees, with a safety rope attached at the shore.
Thankfully, they were able to safely reach the deer — and pushed the scared animal back towards the safety of solid land.
Officials told CBS News that the deer took a moment to rest before retreating into the reeds. “The buck made it through [deer hunting season], here’s hoping he makes it through this as well,” city officials said.
