B-Shift at Station 46 had a busy morning! Crews responded to Evans Elementary for a hawk stuck in a window alcove. Firefighters got it down safely and unharmed. Thankfully we got a pic before it wrestled itself free and flew away. Maybe it was just window shopping? pic.twitter.com/eF3MPeg2fu— Oviedo Fire/Rescue (@OviedoFire) January 5, 2023
Jan. 6 (UPI) — Firefighters in Florida came to the rescue of a hawk that swooped into an elementary school and became stuck in a window alcove.
Oviedo Fire Rescue said in a Twitter post that Station 46 responded to a call from Seminole County Public Schools about a hawk at Evans Elementary School, off Chapman Road.
The crew arrived to find the hawk was stuck in a window alcove outside the school’s front entrance.
The department shared photos of a firefighter climbing a ladder to reach the bird of prey and bring it back down to the ground.
“The hawk struggled and managed to fly off on its own uninjured,” a city spokesperson told WOFL-TV. “The bird was not in any distress.”
