Firefighters rescue a raccoon that was trapped in a storm drain.

I am sure that the Cambridge Fire Department firefighters are wondering how did a raccoon get its head stuck in an iron storm drain gate on Thursday August 1. The firefighters with the help of the Cambridge Animal Control, Public Works and the Tech Services and Fire Prevention were able to remove the iron grate and remove the raccoon from the trap which is not known how long the raccoon was trapped. A member of the public gave the rescue team members olive oil to lubricate the raccoon for extraction. After the raccoon was rescued by the rescue team, the raccoon was released into the wildlife area nearby. Link is upi.com/7131723057808 via @upi
