Monkeybars are for Monkeys

Okay, maybe no one else will think this entertaining, but my pager went off last night about 1:30 a.m. I know what you're thinking. It's New Year's Eve, right? Drunks, car accidents, domestic violence... oh, no, not this call.

Dispatch said there was an "animal caught in some playground equipment" and Engine-21 was dispatched for a "Public Assistance" call. Fortunately I wasn't on Engine-21, so I stayed in my nice warm bed and wondered at the call.

Turns out someone's rotweiler got his foot caught and the owner couldn't get it loose. People... please don't let your pets play on the playground equipment in the middle of the night.

Unless you own a monkey.
