KERN COUNTY, Calif. — A group of California firefighters are heroes to a slow-moving victim that found itself in a precarious position.
Bentley, a 25-year-old sulcata tortoise, had become trapped in a hole in Kern County, California, KABC reported.
His owner called for help when Bentley couldn't emerge from the ground. That's when firefighters from the Rosamond and Mojave station jumped into action, cutting roots and digging away the dirt that was blocking Bentley from freedom, KABC reported.
