Firefighters Rescue Dog Stuck in Tire
Certain jobs need bravery and determination. They’re not easy.
Being a firefighter is one of those tough jobs.
The Franklinville Volunteer Fire Company (FVFC) in New Jersey, along with the Franklin Township Police Department, worked together to save a dog in trouble.
The dog, Daisy, got her head stuck in a tire at her home.
The FVFC posted about it on Facebook, and they included a picture showing Daisy’s head sticking out from the middle of a big Firestone tire.
The picture showed how serious the situation was, with emergency workers working hard to rescue the scared dog.
At first, they tried to get Daisy out with soap and water, but it didn’t work.
Then, one of the FVFC lieutenants used his own plasma cutter, which was a new idea. It turned out to be the thing that finally freed Daisy.
The FVFC also shared a tense video of the rescue, filmed by the police.
In the video, you could see the emergency team working carefully around Daisy, who was waiting patiently to be freed.
The rescuers were really careful to make sure Daisy felt safe and comfortable.
They put two blankets around her neck to protect her while they cut the tire. It also made her feel safer.
Then, they used the plasma cutter to cut a piece out of the top of the tire. It was pretty dramatic, with sparks flying everywhere during the rescue.
In the middle of the video, one of the team members thought it would be a good idea to put a collar and leash on Daisy.
This was just in case she got scared and ran away once she was free.
The team kept cutting through the tire rim carefully until there was enough space to get Daisy’s head out safely.
The moment everyone felt better was when one of the team members carefully pulled Daisy out of the tire, and then they wrapped her up in blankets.
After finally getting out, Daisy wiggled out of the blankets and stretched, showing how grateful and relieved she was. Someone held onto her leash while she did this.
In another post, the FVFC shared a picture of the tire after they rescued Daisy. You could see that about a quarter of the top of the rim was cut off.
The post also had some good news: Daisy was okay and doing fine after what happened.
The FVFC proudly said, “This is the dedication and commitment you can expect from the FVFC each time we respond to a call. We are grateful to everyone who responded today to help Daisy.”
This event shows how skilled and dedicated the Franklinville Volunteer Fire Company and the Franklin Township Police Department are.
It’s also a nice reminder of how much our emergency responders care about everyone’s safety, whether they’re people or animals.
