Moose rescued by police and firefighters in New Hampshire

Lake Charles, Louisiana

October 12, 2024 1:36pm CST

I am sure that the Bedford Police Department and the Beford Fire Department were amazed that a resident in the city located in New Hampshire had to deal with a moose that entered the swimming pool on Thursday morning. First responders were able to remove the cover of the swimming pool and remove the moose from the swimming pool safely. The moose left the home of the resident under his own power. No one was harmed in the incident. Link is upi.com/4021728068542 via @upi

Maybe the heat outside made the moose go take a dip in the pool.

I would think it would be quite difficult to get a moose out of a pool.

That is true since a moose is a large animal and heavy.

I love moose. Unless I met one in the Alaskan wilderness, then forget it.

Moose? When I read that I immediately thought this took place in Canada.

Glad the moose was okay.

I hope the moose didn't leave any deposits in the pool, as a clean-up might be necessary. I would not like to swim in moose used water, so they might have to clean it all, deposits, or not, anyway.

You are right about if the moose relieved himself in the pool or not.
