Thanks to a concerned neighbor who called 911 to report the news that a raccoon was trapped in a tree earlier this week in Austin Texas, Austin Fire Department firefighters answered the call to rescue the raccoon who had his stuck in the hollow of the tree.
The Austin firefighters used a ladder to climb the tree as the firefighters used the Jaws Of Life to pry open the tree's entryway while another firefighters used a clamp or a net to prevent the raccoon from falling down to the ground.
The raccoon was lowered to the ground safely and handed to employees of animal control where the raccoon will be taken care of.
Firefighters are heroes for saving animals and human beings when they are needed to be rescued.

It was a very tricky rescue of a raccoon since it was in a very careful manner who the raccoon.

It looks as if they had done something similar before, as they are well prepared to rescue the raccoon, with a net, and thick gloves on, too. They certainly go above the call of duty, many times in their work, and kudos to them, for a successful rescue, of the raccoon

I was thinking that the Austin firefighters went beyond the call of duty to rescue the raccoon.
