Yesterday, D Shift crews from Engine and Truck 18 in Randallstown responded to an unusual call after a fawn became trapped in a storm drain.

The little deer wasn't interested in coming to rescuers on its own, but after some patience, creativity, and a little teamwork, Fire Apparatus Driver/Operator Nickoles was able to safely reach in and free the fawn.

With its mother watching from a distance, the young deer was placed back on solid ground. Moments later, mom and baby took off together so quickly that crews didn't even have time to get a photo.

Just another reminder that not every rescue involves people - and we're happy this one had a great ending!
