Fowl Ball: Danbury Fire Department Rescues Goose From Baseball Net

DANBURY, CT — Danbury firefighters rescued a goose over the weekend before it could be "cooked."

The Danbury Fire Department called Sunday's rescue of a Canada goose from a baseball net in Rogers Park a "tricky" procedure.

Firefighters extended the ladder from one of their trucks up to where a goose had become entangled in the netting. They were then able to cut some netting from around the goose, and bring the bird down to terra firma.

"Once on the ground, the firefighters had to cut some of the netting off the goose's feet, let him rest a bit, and then the goose went on his way," the Danbury FD posted on social media.
