(UPI) A kitten was rescued from the engine compartment of a British Columbia fire truck after the vehicle and its crew returned from an emergency call.
The City of Vernon said a Vernon Fire Rescue Service crew returned to their station after responding to a crash on Highway 97 at Birnie Road and heard the sounds of muffled meowing coming from inside their truck.
"A search of the vehicle resulted in firefighters locating a kitten, stowed away in the engine compartment," the City of Vernon said in a news release.
The kitten was taken to a local veterinary clinic, where staff said the feline appears happy and in good health. They said the kitten will likely be put up for adoption if no owner comes forward.
