Yesterday at approximately 5:45 p.m., Wentzville Firefighters responded to a rescue call at Urshan University involving a deer trapped in a pond.
Upon arrival, crews found the exhausted deer swimming in circles and unable to make its way back to shore. Firefighter Spires entered the water while Firefighter Moushey and Firefighter Volz worked from the shoreline to carefully guide the deer toward him. Once within reach, Firefighter Spires was able to safely secure the deer with a rope, and the crew worked together to bring it back onto dry land.
After a few moments to rest and recover from its long swim, the deer regained its strength and was able to make its way back home.
Great teamwork and a happy ending for one of our four-legged community members! π¦
