LANCASTER, Pa. — Firefighters were too big to
rescue a kitten from a storm drain in south-central Pennsylvania,
but a 6-year-old girl's size proved to be just right.
Lancaster Township firefighters responded when the girl,
Janeysha Cruz, and her friends saw the trapped kitten Tuesday
afternoon.
The girl's mother called 911 and then gave firefighters
permission to lower the kindergartner nearly 3 feet down into the
drain, which was too small for the firefighters to enter. The girl
was able to coax the kitten to come to her and handed it to the
firefighters.
The Fire Department reported the incident on its Facebook page,
along with a picture of Janeysha, Deputy Fire Chief Glenn Usdin and
the kitten.
