Firefighters Rescue Deer Stuck on Frozen Lake

Firefighters in Angel Fire, New Mexico, pulled a deer to safety after it became stuck on a frozen lake, video posted on December 12 shows.

This footage, by the Angel Fire Fire Department, shows Jarred Johnson crawling across the lake to reach the deer. Johnson then grabs hold of the deer’s leg and the two are pulled to safety, sliding across the ice.

“A deer had wandered onto the partially frozen lake, fell and was not able to get up. The deer was successfully rescued, brought to land and given time to rest before releasing it, unharmed,” the fire department said. Credit: Angel Fire Fire Department via Storyful
