News Article
| EPPC and SSADRT Conduct Rescue of trapped Cat in Plymouth Official Report- (1/4/12) On January 4, 2012 at 11:59 a.m. a person called from Plymouth reporting her 3 year old male cat was stuck in a tree and had been there for 14 hours. The cat was reported to be an indoor cat and is not moving. The temperature overnight had been in the low teens and at the time of the call the temperature was 19 degrees. Christopher D’Arpino (V2) advised the cat owner that a cat in tree rescue may be possible based on the adverse weather conditions. V2 took the caller’s information and said he would see if he had a team available to help. At 12:05 p.m. a text message was sent to EPPC and SSDART members who were qualified to assist. A separate text message was sent to Kevin Dyer (S1) and was given a separate report and a discussion ensued as to the feasibility of the rescue and what would be needed. At 12:20 a team comprising of Christopher D’Arpino, Bridget Hatch and Kevin Dyer were deployed to 396 Raymond rd in Plymouth. V2 and S1 traveled together and Bridget Hatch retrieved the trailer. Upon arrival additional support was on scene, Danielle Fugundes, to aid in the rescue and medical needs of the cat. Arrival on scene was 2:20. An assessment of the situation was made, and the proper equipment was deployed. V2 climbed the tree for the purposes of setting a safety line under S1 direction. The safety line was established and S1 gave the green light to commence the rescue. V2 ascended the tree on a safety line and made his way to the cat at about 40 feet. After numerous attempts to apprehend the cat with a catch pole, the cat ascended the tree further. The cat at this point was at the top of the tree out on a weak branch at about 65 feet. V2 continued his ascension to about 55 feet and was able to apprehend the cat with a catch pole. Once caught V2 descended to a lower limb with the cat and was able to secure the cat in a cat bag and have it lowered to the waiting Vet tech, Danielle Fugundes. The cat was assessed in the residence and it was advised that the cat be taken immediately to the nearest medical facility as it was suffering from hypothermia and shock. V2 descended the tree without incident. All equipment was recovered and S1 cleared all equipment to be put back in service with no notable concerns. The entire rescue took about 50 minutes with 35 minutes in the tree. All team members performed well, with good communication. The cat owner was very happy and complimented the team repeatedly on our efforts. Video of Rescue Operation |
