Firefighter Casey saves 2 lives...

Steve saved 2 lives on Wednesday!! Does it count that it was 2 cats stuck in a tree??!! A couple of dogs chased the cats up a HUGE tree so the owners called 911 for some help because their ladders weren't long enough to reach by far (I thought this kind of call only happened in the cartoons, but apparently not!) Steve climbed the ladder on the ladder truck to get the 2 cats safely down. He said the tree forked and the fat cat was stuck in the V of the tree with its legs kicking frantically and the little baby cat was standing on top of the stuck fat cat...LOL! He got the little cat to safety and tried to get the fat cat out. He had to tug and tug because it was so stuck in the V of the tree :) He finally gave it one more big pull and the cat was free of the tree yelping and scratching the whole way!

They have a fire station camera they take for times such as these, but Amy (the woman firefighter) got the camera out and it was out of batteries :( So we don't have any action shots of Steve saving lives, but cool story anyways!
