The Dauphin Fire Department was getting ready for their training when they received an unexpected call. A cat had climbed into the chimney of a house and the owners had been unable to free it. Chief Cam Abrey said he's never had a call like this one.

This isn't your typical cat in a tree call because we get plenty of those, and no we don't normally go out for cats up in trees because they will make there way down eventually. This was a little bit different situation because the animal was entrapped within something.

Neighbors weren't able to tell firefighters who the cat belonged to, so they called Dauphin Animal Control. The cat is now at the pound, waiting for her owners to pick her up. If you know who the cat belongs to, call the City of Dauphin Pound at 204-638-3044.
