The Harrisburg Fire Division in North Carolina rescued the beloved pet following chasing her meows to locate her approximate place inside the two-story chimney.

“Luckily the cat kept meowing and meowing which aid reduce damage to the property,” the fire department’s public data officer, David Bradshaw, told ABC News. “We utilized our finest judgment on where we believed she could be and pulled the boards off the side of the house and reduce a hole in there, and no sooner than we were sticking our hands in, her head was sticking out of that hole. Straight away she said, ‘Hey, I’m finding out of right here.’ She climbed out appropriate into the firefighter’s arms.”

The kitty had been stuck in in between the chimney and the home’s decorative siding surrounding it.

“She had gotten up there, we feel, chasing a thing and got herself wedged 20 feet down in between the wall and the chimney,” said Bradshaw. “We tried going in through the leading of the chimney, we tried going through the attic and we couldn’t do it. We referred to as animal control mainly because even if we could’ve gotten ahold of her neck and pulled him out we required a single of their longer poles.”

Bradshaw mentioned this is the first time in his 30-year career the fire department has rescued a pet from a chimney.

“This was an odd a single for certain,” he laughed. “She was just satisfied to be out of there.”

It was a cool ending to an otherwise heated scenario.
