Kangaroo tracking

[sublimecharger6]

Hello all just thought I would post this for your enjoyment,

http://www.channel3000.com/news/4045431/detail.html

story of a wayward Kangaroo that was caputred by my Town,

I was part of the Fire Department team that capatured the Kangaroo.
you just never know what your next call might be LOL.

I've participated in one cat-in-the-tree call, and hopefully that will be the only one. Cartoons make it look like the cat will be happy to see you. Hell NO! This cat was ****ED OFF! Full turnout gear, goggles, shield, and another coat thrown over the cat was required or it would have torn us to pieces. And when it hit the ground, it hauled out of there like there was no tommorow. None of this "oh thank you, please pet me" BS.

Now, a Kangaroo that can cruise along at 30mph, I can only imagine what happens if that gets angry.

He was probably looking for his gloves...

Where does "Kangaroo apprehension" go in NFIRS?

The ever useful "Other" category, with of course a VERY detailed narrative of the situation

Cat in a tree? Isn't that what master streams are for?

GUILTY!

Unfortunately, we have the entire neighborhood of children gathered around so we couldn't just leave or knock it across the road with a deck gun.

Done the cat in tree thing also.

Am I the only one that has gone on Seagull rescue calls? They get stuck in fishing line and then get tangled up on house roofs. I hate seagulls.

Better you than me...

That's great.

I wonder if it was looking for the palms that myself and some other people have stolen from it and others like it.

LFB do not respond to "M. I.A. S."---or Moggies in Arboreal Situations.

Of course under this ,oh so P.C world, we now have a "F. S. R. U."
(Feline Skeletal Removal Unit)--since its inception these persons, dressed in the appropriate fur (mock fur, of course) Caped Crusader Kit, have not actually turned out to a M. I N. (Moggie in Need), successfully.

Simply because by the the time that these dedicated "Wallies" have turned out of their headquarters which is a large barn disguised as a Cat Basket--the Cat has got hungry and has gone home for a feed.

We as dedicated Moggy Rescuers are in a bit of a quandary--should we respond with our P.O.V's with full light bars and sirens etc and thence frighten the cat higher into the top of the tree.
Or respond with the Aerial Arboreal Ladders?
Your input is waited with baited(sardine of course)breath.

I bet none of you have had to experience an iguana rescue much less a high angle iguana rescue...I hate reptiles.

Cat in a tree-- The one, the only, the original John Bean High Pressure Fog.

Cat in a tree? Time for Operation Snowball!

[Firefighter1219]

That guy must not like his hands very much. I think I would be wearing my gloves there.

[FlyingKiwi]

We don't do cats in trees.

Have you ever seen a cats skeleton in a tree?

[BLSboy]

Bones.. While I was a Jr. Guard for OCBP, we had to take care of the seagull until Animal Control arrived........Unfortulanty, they sh*t EVERYWHERE, and if it is a weekend, well you are SOL until they can find somewone to take care of it. As for the cat in the tree, which would work better, smoothbore, or fog

[firenresq77]

We've done the cvat in tree, the human in the tree (went after a pet bird in the tree and the human was stuck)..
