KAMAS, Utah, Oct. 28 (UPI) -- A pair of Utah deputies used a resident's playground swing to hoist a young deer that became trapped at the bottom of a window well.

The Summit County Sheriff's Office said in a Facebook post Deputies Brett Loyola and Jason Rose responded to a Kamas-area home on a report of a fawn trapped in a home's window well.

The deputies, whose actions were recorded by their body cameras, used a playground swing from the homeowners' swing set to make an improvised harness and hoist the deer to safety.

"We agree with these homeowners when they said, 'You guys are rockstars!'" the post said.
