Eastside Firefighters Rescue Baby Owl

From the how sweet is that? files: EFR's Station 73 made an adorable rescue at Rock Meadow Farms yesterday.

Some things just make you say aww...

Here's the story behind this photo from Eastside Firefighters Local #2878 Facebook page:

Well today we received a call from a concerned farm hand at the Rock Meadow Farms. Apparently one of the small owlets fell from the nest atop the large barn. They really wanted to get him home and had no idea what to do. The crew at Station 73 in the Issaquah Highlands was more than happy to give it a try. So they took their Ladder truck, squeezed it into the barn raised the stick and ta da! Baby owl back home!
