Charleroi firefighters rescue kitten from storm drain

CHARLEROI, Pa. — Firefighters worked together on Saturday night to rescue a kitten stuck in a Washington County storm drain.

The Charleroi Fire Department was dispatched to rescue the pet.

Once on scene, they first used a camera to locate the kitten, which was around 30 feet into the drain!

Then, firefighters stopped to make a plan — one that included a leaf blower.

First, firefighters cut some trees to remove the gutter. Then, using a leaf blower and camera, pushed the kitten out and returned him home.

The kitten was not hurt while in the drain or during the rescue.
