Firefighters from the Prior Lake Fire Department (PLFD) came to the rescue of a deer stranded on Poinbanka frozen lake in Minnesota.

After locals sounded the alarm, the firefighters found the helpless creature unable to stand and struggling to get off the thin ice. Donning their protective gear, the fire team carefully crawled across the ice. After reaching the deer, they were then able to push the animal safely to shore.
