Unusual Rescue for the Engine
Station 3 was alerted to assist the police with a dog trapped in a pool. Engine 33 arrived and found a puppy that had wondered in and fell into a swimming pool. The dog was in a small amount of water making him cold, scared, and was unable to get out of the pool on his own. Crew members quickly devised a plan to calm the dog allowing them to approach the dog and remove them from the pool. Even though this was an unusual call for the crew, they showed the dedication and commitment to the community that the members of Westminster Fire Department instills in all its members.
