Firefighters called to remove puma from office building

Aug. 15 (UPI) -- Firefighters in Brazil shared video from an unusual call that involved having to eject an adult puma from an office building.

The PMESP Fire Department said they responded Monday to the office building in the Sao Paulo suburb of Itapecerica da Serra after employees arriving for work in the morning found themselves confronted by the full-grown puma.

The fire department speculated the mountain lion had wandered into the office while seeking shelter from nearby wildfires.

The firefighters said they were able to remove the cougar with help from the environmental police and a local veterinary clinic.

The puma was released into the custody of Mata Ciliar, an environmental charity.
