Firefighters' Quick-Thinking Help Rescue Deer From Window Well
DOUGLAS COUNTY, Colo. (CBS4) - South Metro firefighters earned some extra high fives Monday afternoon after they rescued a deer from a window well. The buck stood there as the firefighters used what they had available to get it out.
They say a resident found the deer "thrashing" inside the well clearly in need of help.
Members on Engine 47 used a piece of a wooden fence in order "to prevent broken glass" and another tool.
After a few moments, the buck tried to jump out. That's when firefighters tried other means.
Here is the last part of the rescue, firefighters looped a rope around the buck's antlers and pulled while he climbed out. pic.twitter.com/8SZSjRLgUB

That's when firefighters wrapped rope around the animal's antlers and pulled it out of the well. The buck ended up running away after untangling itself from the rope.
