Incident Details

A man was out for a short walk with his cat outside his Grand Canyon Drive apartment when the cat, named Luna, escaped his grip and scurried up a tree in the backyard, taking her leash with her.
 
The feline was about 15 feet off the ground, and the owner knew he needed help. That’s when Ladder Company 2 was called over from their fire station just down the road.
 
Luna appeared to be in good spirits when firefighters arrived, even though her leash was tangled in a tree branch. Firefighters propped up a ladder and climbed toward the branch to reach her. Once untangled, Luna was reunited with her owner and “both appeared to be very happy,” according to firefighters.
