Quick thinking firefighters helped rescue a dog Tuesday.
Vernon firefighters received a report of a large dog being stuck under a deck in the 3400 block of 16th Avenue at 10:44 p.m.
"It's an older dog andy they had difficulty getting out," said Jack Blair, deputy fire chief.
Not wanting to panic the dog further, the firefighters got creative when it came to the rescue.
"They used air bags to lift up the deck a little bit so they could assist the dog in getting out," said Blair.
Blair gives the crew top marks for their resourcefulness.
"The guys were right on it. They didn't have to tear anything apart with the deck," he said.
