Nanaimo firefighters were able to rescue a dog that could have drowned in a drain pipe if it hadn香蕉视频直播檛 gotten help.

Nanaimo Fire Rescue crews were called to Labieux Road and Oriole Drive just before 10:30 a.m. on Friday, July 1, after a beagle had gotten into a 40-centimetre pipe.

香蕉视频直播淚t was a horizontal sewer system that the dog had entered and because the dog couldn香蕉视频直播檛 turn around, the dog kept going forward,香蕉视频直播� said David Dales, Nanaimo Fire Rescue assistant chief. 香蕉视频直播淭he dog was yelping and quite scared.香蕉视频直播�

Firefighters started popping open manhole covers and could tell they were getting closer to the pooch. Eventually they found a manhole close enough that using a flashlight, they could see the dog.

香蕉视频直播淭he dog was at a real risk for drowning because the dog was unable to put their paws on anything. It was just kind of swimming in one static spot,香蕉视频直播� Dales said.

The crew taped a blanket onto the end of a 150-foot fire hose, said Dales 香蕉视频直播� 香蕉视频直播淚香蕉视频直播檒l use their term: they basically made a big Q-tip香蕉视频直播� 香蕉视频直播� and inserted into the pipe. With something to claw onto, the dog allowed itself to be pulled backward out of the pipe to safety.

香蕉视频直播淭here was a couple dog lovers on the fire engine and they used their creativity,香蕉视频直播� Dales said. 香蕉视频直播淭hey were pretty determined to help and everything worked out perfectly.香蕉视频直播�
