A moose that fell into a Soldotna basement is now safe after being rescued by firefighters.

 

Seven firefighters with Central Emergency Services, along with three biologists from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game and two Alaska wildlife troopers, responded to a call on Ciechanski Road at approximately 10:30 a.m. Sunday, November 20th.

 

The animal fell through a window well and became trapped in the lower level of the house.

 

Authorities sedated the animal, and used a tarp to carry it out.

 

 

Firefighters say this is the second time a moose has fallen into the window well at the home.
