April 29 (UPI) -- Firefighters in Poland said they twice came to the rescue of a raccoon that climbed to the top of a streetlamp for a nap.
The Volunteer Fire Department of Zabow said crews responded about noon Wednesday when a raccoon was spotted sleeping atop a streetlamp in the city.
Firefighters had electricity to the light disconnected before using a lift to reach the raccoon.
The animal was released on the ground, but moments later climbed back to the top of the streetlamp.
Firefighters removed the raccoon a second time and transported the animal to a wooded area for release.
