浣熊被困格柵2小時(shí)后，被10名急救人員解救出來(lái)

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

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(mén)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(shí)，它的頭從格柵上的一個(gè)方形小洞里探了出來(lái)。

“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(dòng)物管理部門(mén)的幫助下，我們今天成功營(yíng)救了一只小浣熊。他被困了一段時(shí)間，但我們很高興地告訴大家，他自由了!!”該部門(mén)在推特上寫(xiě)道:“我們營(yíng)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(gè)小動(dòng)物，這次真是費(fèi)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(shí)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(huì)有效。”麥卡利說(shuō)。

But not in this case.

但這次顯然沒(méi)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(duì)員從人行道上拆下了柵欄，想這樣這只動(dòng)物可能會(huì)把自己拉出來(lái)。

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?cè)噲D用醫(yī)用紗布來(lái)按住它的脖子，然后把它拽出來(lái)，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(duì)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(dòng)物控制中心進(jìn)行觀察，藥效一過(guò)，就放歸到野外。
