Firefighter Rescues Dog Trapped In Ceiling

FAIRFAX, Va. (WJZ) -- We've heard of firefighters rescuing cats from trees. But how about them rescuing a dog from a ceiling?

That's what happened Saturday night in Fairfax County.

A crew from Engine 427 in West Springfield came to the rescue of a pup trapped in an HVAC duct in a home.

It took the crew some time to figure out the dog's location -- then they proceeded to cut the dog out of the basement ceiling.

Firefighter Mark Williams can be seen retrieving the dog in the video.
