ROCKY HILL, Conn. — The Rocky Hill Fire Department rescued a goose from a pond on Thursday afternoon.
The fire department was called to an animal in distress after a citizen reported that the goose had been there for the last two days.
When the fire department arrived, they found a Canada Goose near the center of the pond. A rescue effort was established. Two 2-person teams of firefighters donned cold-water rescue suits.
The team made their way across the ice toward the goose using safety lines and the backup crew prepared to support if needed.
The goose was freed from the ice at around 1:01 p.m., and on its own, the goose moved from the ice to the adjacent shore.
