Maybe not quite as dramatic as Rich Schaffer’s recent jump into the Washington Channel, but the D.C. Fire Boat assisted in another rescue from the same body of water. This one occurred on Thursday. The pictures and these details are from DC Fire & EMS spokesman Alan Etter:
Around 4:30 PM. we started getting calls from people around the Gangplank Marina that they had seen a young deer in the Washington Channel. MPD Harbor Patrol and the DC Fire Boat responded to the area and looked for about a half-hour. Around H Dock at the Gangplank, the approximately six-month-old female deer was located by several citizens, who summoned police and fire. All helped remove the deer and keep it still until Animal Control responded to sedate the animal. It was then released in Kenilworth Park.
