浣熊被困格柵2小時后，被10名急救人員解救出來

A raccoon got his head stuck in a storm grate in Massachusetts — and it took a team of 10 first responders more than two hours to free him from the situation, according to reports.

據(jù)報道，一只浣熊的頭卡在了馬薩諸塞州的一個雨水柵欄里，10名急救人員花了兩個多小時才把它從困境中解救出來。

Photos posted by the Newton Fire Department show the furry critter’s head poking through a small square hole in the grate as he anxiously gripped the metal frame Thursday.

牛頓消防部門周四發(fā)布的照片顯示，這只毛茸茸的小家伙焦急地抓住金屬框架時，它的頭從格柵上的一個方形小洞里探了出來。

“We were able to rescue a juvenile raccoon today with help from Waltham’s Animal Control. He had been stuck for a while but we are happy to report he is free!!!” the department tweeted, adding: “We rescue citizens both big and small!!!”

“在威豪中心動物管理部門的幫助下，我們今天成功營救了一只小浣熊。他被困了一段時間，但我們很高興地告訴大家，他自由了!!”該部門在推特上寫道:“我們營救大大小小的公民!!”

But it was a big effort to free the little creature.

為了解救這個小動物，這次真是費了很大的力氣。

A crew of four firefighters first tried rubbing the raccoon’s head with dish soap, in the hopes that he would “slip out,” Newton Fire Lt. Phil McCully told NBC News.

牛頓消防中尉菲爾·麥卡利在接受NBC新聞采訪時表示，四名消防員第一次嘗試用肥皂擦浣熊的頭，希望它能“溜出去”。

“This method usually works 90 percent of the time,” said McCully.

“這種方法在90%的情況下會有效。”麥卡利說。

But not in this case.

但這次顯然沒戲。

So the firefighters removed the grate from the sidewalk, thinking the animal might be able to pull himself out.

所以消防隊員從人行道上拆下了柵欄，想這樣這只動物可能會把自己拉出來。

When that didn’t work, they tried using medical gauze to compress the creature’s neck and slip it free.

但是也失敗了，他們試圖用醫(yī)用紗布來按住它的脖子，然后把它拽出來，也不行。

Eventually, a local veterinarian sedated the raccoon, and with his tense neck muscle relaxed, officials were finally able to rescue it.

最后，當(dāng)?shù)氐囊晃猾F醫(yī)給浣熊注射了鎮(zhèn)靜劑，他緊張的頸部肌肉放松了，消防隊員們終于將浣熊解放了。

The animal was taken to Waltham Animal Control for observation and released into the wild when his medication wore off.

之后浣熊被帶到沃爾瑟姆動物控制中心進(jìn)行觀察，藥效一過，就放歸到野外。
