"Cat Saturday" for the Tower Ladder

To some, it may not seem that important. But to one little girl, it made her day.

Around 2:00 PM today, a resident called to report a cat has been stuck in a neighborhood tree for over 24 hours. After discussing the situation with Car 2083 (AC Mansfield), he requested Tower Ladder 44 to assist.

After a few minutes, Ex-Captain Anita Dominello reached out from the platform of TL44 some 40-45 feet in the air to rescue the distraught pet.

All units returned to service a short time later, turning the frightened feline over to it's ecstatic owner.
