An owner of a kitten in Cedar Rapids Iowa is grateful that the firefighters who are employed by the Cedar Rapids Fire Department answered a call for help around 4 o'clock in the afternoon on Saturday that a kitten who must have been curious managed to get inside an eight inch pipe and get stuck. The names of the Cedar Rapids firefighters were not mentioned due to privacy reasons were able to use an extra long rescue device to get the kitten out of the pipe and reunite the kitten with his owner the same day which made everyone happy.

That was nice of them. Many fire department insurance companies no longer allow them to do such rescues.

It is a shame that many fire department insurance companies are refusing to allow these kinds of rescues anymore.

Kittens always arrive to put themselves in bad situation. This one has been lucky.

That's great that they were able to rescue the kitten. The right tools/gadgets can make all the difference.
