It was a life saving rescue. A tiny kitten was trapped in a storm drain, in an area that was inaccessible to get to. The firefighters placed a ladder down the drain and gently coaxed the kitten to move toward a spot where it could be reached.

Firefighter Roger Stewart got hold of the kitten and brought him up to safety. They named the kitty Stormy.

The kitten’s mother was nowhere to be found. The firefighters didn't want to turn him to a shelter, so they are keeping Stormy safe until they can find him a loving home.
