[NYPOST] What started out as a mundane weekend shift for a crew of firefighters in Alaska ended up as anything but that when they got a call to rescue a baby moose from a basement.The moose, estimated to be a 1-year-old bull tipping the scales at 500 pounds, had a misstep while eating breakfast Sunday morning by a home in Soldotna, about 150 miles southwest of Anchorage.
"It looks like the moose had been trying to nibble on some vegetation by the window well of a basement window and fell into it, and then fell into the basement through the glass," said Capt. Josh Thompson, with Central Emergency Services on the Kenai Peninsula..
The youngster elk found itself trapped one floor below ground level.
A biologist with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game was able to tranquilize the moose, but the animal wasn’t completely unconscious.
