Photos: Fallen Kitten Rescued from Rockville Storm Drain

Montgomery County Fire & Rescue Service blog featured these photos from a recent rescue—a kitten that fell into the deep part of a dry sewer drain in Rockville.

On Monday, crews from helped a Montgomery County Animal Control retrieve the kitten, which had fallen into a storm drain in Fallsgrove. But according to the blog post, they encountered a unique challenge after removing the manhole:

“Normally in order to enter a below grade confined space a specialty team would be needed- and doing so would have likely scared the kitten away. So we collectively decided to try using food that was graciously donated by Avalon at Fallsgrove employees, and a combination of a small animal net and a utility bag and webbing to rescue the kitten.”

Fifteen minutes later, Master Firefighter Chris May safely netted the kitten and brought it to safety.
