deer trapped in sewer

According to Oct. 27Facebook post from the Troy Fire Department, several of the Alabama department’s firefighters received an unusual call “a few nights ago” about a deer stuck in a sewer.

The firefighters responded to the call and found a male deer peeking out of a storm drain — seemingly doing his best impression ofPennywise, the clown fromIt, in time for Halloween.

The Troy Fire Department shared a photo of the deer looking out the storm drain and a video of firefighters rescuing the wild animal on social media.

“This deer found himself in a tight place with no way out! You never know what the next call will bring. The guys are always happy to help! Best job ever!!” the department captioned the Facebook post.

The clip ends with the deer standing up and sprinting off into the woods while firefighters look on.

This deer is not the first animal to accidentally end up in the sewer. In July, rescuersfound a New Jersey foster dogthat had been missing for days stuck in a sewer.

Firefighters, public works employees, and community members banded together to save Dylan, an 8-year-old coonhound, and get him medical help. Dylan was adopted soon after his rescue.
