On Tuesday morning, two Freedom firefighters rescued a deer that was stuck on the ice of Ossipee Lake.
The rescue occurred on the Freedom side of Ossipee Lake in the area of North Broad Bay Road at around 11 a.m.
Fire Chief Rob Cunio went on the ice in a coldwater suit and tethered to a rope. Firefighter Charlie Hatfield stayed on shore and manned the other end of the rope.
Action Ambulance paramedic Brandie Rose Felix, who was on stand by in case someone fell through, captured photos and video of the rescue with her phone.
"I was lucky enough to witness and stand by in the ambulance as Chief Rob Cunio and firefighter Charlie Hatfield used the skills they’d learned with fire training and ice water rescue, to save this distressed deer from certain death," said Felix on Facebook. "Great job gentleman!"
