DeKalb County fire crews rescue fawn stuck in mud

VIDEO/PHOTOS: A call for a person trapped in the mud at Henderson Mill Park turned out to be something else entirelyโ€”a young deer in distress. DeKalb County Fire Rescue responded early Thursday to reports of someone stuck, but upon arrival discovered a fawn, exhausted and stuck after wandering too far into the mud. “Without hesitation, our dedicated crews jumped into action,” the department said in a statement. “Working carefully and quickly, they were able to free the frightened fawn and bring it to safety unharmed.” The department called it “a small rescue with a big heart,” noting it’s just another example of their commitment to helping anyoneโ€”or anythingโ€”in need.
