Summit County firefighters are referring to an incident that began late Saturday night at a home in east Keystone as Summit County’s own version of a cat stuck in a tree.<\/p>\n

Trapped in a 5-foot-deep window well, a young bull moose owes a debt of gratitude to the officers with Colorado Parks and Wildlife and Summit Fire & EMS for a successful rescue effort that concluded early Sunday morning with the moose returning to the woods, a bit traumatized perhaps, but no worse for wear.<\/p>\n

“We are an all-hazards response agency,” said Steve Lipsher, a spokesman for Summit Fire & EMS. “We get everything. Our guys are resourceful, innovative and they come to every incident with the mindset, ‘We’ve got a problem here. How are we going to solve it?'”<\/p>\n

First on the scene, Colorado Parks and Wildlife officers tranquilized the moose before requesting help from Summit Fire & EMS to set up a pulley system and haul the moose out.<\/p>\n

“The entire operation took a while, but our firefighters were able to get the moose, estimated at 800 to 1,000 pounds, out and safely on the driveway,” the department posted on its Facebook page Sunday.<\/p>\n

Once removed from the window well, the moose was awakened with a counteractive agent and “continued on his moose-like way,” said Lipsher, who added the entire effort took firefighters about two hours.<\/p>\n

No injuries were reported to either the moose or its rescuers, and the moose didn’t even break the window in his struggles, Lipsher confirmed.<\/p>\n

Lipsher said that Summit Fire & EMS emergency crews typically use ropes and pulleys to rescue people or pull wrecked vehicles from gullies, but they can help save a moose, too.<\/p>\n
