Connor Goetzinger, who just recently marked six months with the West Allis Fire Department, was on duty when a resident drove up to the firehouse seeking help with an unusual issue.

"When he came up to me, he was like, 'Hey, I got my snake up in the car. Can you help me get my snake out?'" Goetzinger was called into action and used a vehicle access tool to reach the snake's hiding place. "We kind of used it to tickle the snake and not irritate it but give it some motivation to move," he said. After a few minutes, the snake was reunited with its owner.
