Video: Ashland Firefighter Pulls Fawn From Drain Pipe

ASHLAND, MA — A small rescue turned into a pretty big deal in Ashland on Monday morning.

The fire department and the animal control officer were called to drainage pipe along Main Street on a report that a fawn was trapped inside.

Ashland Fire Department Lt. David Iarussi used a 6-foot hook to pull the fawn out of the concrete pipe. Iarussi and Animal Control Officer Dona Walsh brought the young deer to the town shelter for medical treatment.

Here's a video of Iarussi in action:

Ashland officials are on quite a roll with animal rescues. Last week, police and a public works employee freed a raccoon who had his head stuck in a sewer grate.
