Canadian firefighters rescue moose trapped in ice
TORONTO — Canadian firefighters got out the axes to rescue a freezing almost 500-pound (225-kilogram) female moose from the ice on the weekend.
The Shediac fire department in Canada’s East Coast province of New Brunswick got a call Saturday morning from a homeowner on the Shediac River who spotted a moose stuck in ice.
“We had all the boys dispatched to retrieve him,” Firefighter Jos LeBlanc said Monday.
He said the moose first appeared agitated by firefighters but then calmed down and simply watched them work.
