🚨🦝 POSSUM RESCUE SUCCESS! 🦝🚨

The Weathersfield Township Fire Department responded to an unusual "resident" found where he wasn't supposed to be—a curious little possum that had made itself at home inside a local residence.

Thanks to the quick actions of LT. Radovic, the furry trespasser was safely rescued without incident. After a brief ride with our crew, the little critter was transported to a local animal sanctuary where it can continue its adventures in a more appropriate setting.

📸 While some firefighters are known for fighting fires, today LT. Radovic added "Possum Wrangler" to his résumé.

A great job by everyone involved for ensuring a safe outcome for both the animal and the residents. We’re happy to report that the possum was unharmed, cooperative (mostly), and did not request to become a member of the department.

👏 Great work, LT. Radovic and all personnel involved!
