Today, a resident from N. Limestone Road requested assistance in getting their cat down from a tree. It was estimated that the cat was about 30' feet up in a large tree. We had firefighters on-station and available after Chief Winter's funeral, so Ladder 8 responded and made the rescue.
Thanks to Ass't Chief Rich Klingler, FF/EMT Nate Delestienne, and FF/EMT Peter Mango for assisting this family. They greatly appreciated our efforts as shown in this Facebook post on our page.
