May 13 (UPI) -- A pair of firefighters in Florida helped free a kitten that got its head stuck in the base of an outdoor basketball hoop.

St. Tammany Fire Protection District #1 shared a video of firefighters Eric Dupuy and Richie Carter working to rescue the small gray kitten after Dupuy spotted it trapped in the base.

The firefighters worried the kittens head may have been stuck in water inside the hoop's base and moved quickly to free it.

The two worked together to cut the kitten free as it struggled to push itself out of the small hole.

Once it was freed, the "feisty" kitten attempted to wriggle its way out of the firefighters' hands as they posed for a photo.
