Racoon trapped in parking garage, escorted out

Danbury firefighters were called to solve an unusual problem early Tuesday morning at the Patriots Garage in Downtown Danbury.  Deputy Fire Chief Bernie Meehan says it seems a raccoon was trapped on the upper deck of the garage and couldn't find its way out.

 

Meehan says the raccoon looked very healthy, probably about 30 pounds.

 

Firefighters used an animal snare, a leash-like item with a hook, to coax the raccoon down the stairs.  The animal then ran off.
