SCHILLERSTRASSE, Germany — A team of volunteer firefighters were called to the scene of an unusual emergency in a German town last Sunday after a fat rat was found wedged halfway through a manhole cover.
The team got to work on the rotund rodent, freeing the distressed animal in a matter of minutes after wedging the manhole cover upright to push it through the hole.
