On Tuesday, firefighters in Lawrenceburg faced a challenging rescue operation when they were called to a home where a dog had fallen into a well located beneath the structure. The canine had been stuck at the bottom of a twelve-foot deep well for approximately two days, prompting urgent action from the local fire department.
To facilitate the rescue, firefighters devised a plan that involved cutting a hole through the floor of the house, allowing them access to the trapped animal. Utilizing a carefully constructed rope system, they successfully hoisted the dog to safety. Fortunately, the animal appeared to be unharmed despite its ordeal.
As the residents of the home were not the dog’s owners, the animal was subsequently taken to the Lawrenceburg Animal Shelter for a thorough evaluation and care. This incident highlights the dedication of local firefighters and the importance of swift action in emergency situations involving pets.
