Moose Rescue

The Shediac fire department of New Brunswick recently performed a moose rescue of a 500-pound moose trapped in ice.

The fire department received a call on Saturday stating that a moose had fallen through the ice in a lake. She attempted to escape several times, but all ended with her more exhausted.

Jos Leblanc was one of 7 firefighters that helped in the rescue on Saturday. “We had all the boys dispatched to retrieve him,” LeBlanc, said. He continued saying that it took a while for the moose to calm down enough for them to break ice near it.

Leblanc also took a video of the three firefighters tirelessly breaking the inches of ice to free the massive animal while three more stayed on the shoreline in the case of a worse event.

The path through the ice was completed after an hour and a half, but when the time for freedom came, the moose wouldn’t move.

Firefighters actually had to scare her out of the water by hitting their axes against the ice again.
