The Acushnet Fire Department posted the following:
“On Thursday, The Acushnet Fire Department responded to the classic “cat stuck in tree” call. Firefighters determined that there was a very narrow window of space to place their aerial. Firefighter/Paramedic Tom Farland skillfully placed the ladder and removed Skittles from a height of approximately 30 feet.
While some may find humor in this animal rescue, and we know it can be the punchline of a joke, the felines family was very happy. Skittles is a rescue that just recently began being introduced to the outside.
