This evening the MTFR was requested to assist the Muhlenberg Township Police Department with an animal rescue in the 200 block of Columbia Ave in Muhlenberg Township. Two dogs managed to escape from their home and unfortunately one found itself trapped in a 20’ deep drainage culvert. Luckily neighbors were alerted to the dog in trouble from the barks for help by its brother. MTFR crews arrived and accessed the culvert via a ground ladder. After a few minutes of coaxing the dog, crews were able to secure the dog and fasten it up with a harness and then hoisted to safety. Responders comforted the dogs until they could be reunited with their owner.
