On Wednesday, the members of the Strasbourg volunteer fire department were called out to an unusual operation. The call-out message was: "Animal in distress - dog on roof!"

The 13 members of the Strasbourg fire department must have smiled a little on Wednesday when they received the call-out. Because they received the following alert from the state alarm and warning center: "Animal in distress - dog on roof!"

Through an open window onto the roof
When the Florainis arrived at the scene, the strange emergency report proved to be true. The four-legged friend had probably gotten onto the roof through an open window of an apartment and was unable to get to safety on its own.

The firefighters used a ladder to gain access to the dog and were able to guide it back to the open window. The animal was safely returned to its owner. The animal rescue operation lasted three quarters of an hour.
