Firefighters Rescue Baby Foxes Stuck in Drainage Pipe

Alliance Fire and Rescue Services removed the cubs, and a local rescue is now caring for them after the animals were found stuck in a pipe.

  • On Monday, Alliance Fire & Rescue Services rescued five fox cubs trapped in a drainage pipe on Delta Road in Windsor Township, York County, after a nearly four-hour operation.
  • Raven Ridge Wildlife Center requested emergency assistance after a local resident discovered the kits trapped in the narrow pipe and failed to free them independently.
  • Captain Burkins led the firefighting team through the complex extraction, using hacksaws and specialized equipment to carefully cut away sections of the pipe over four hours.
  • Four kits survived and are under observation, though the center said, "Unfortunately, one of the kits did not survive," likely due to suffocation from tight packing.
  • The wildlife center plans to return surviving kits to their family as soon as they are healthy, with staff monitoring them for any underlying health issues.
