Firefighters from multiple departments helped to free a donkey from a pond Friday evening, Jan. 24, in Cranberry Township.

A resident called around 6:30 Friday evening to ask for help getting a donkey out of a pond in the 7600 block of Franklin Road. Multiple teams from the Cranberry Township Volunteer Fire Company responded and requested assistance from both the Butler County water rescue team and the Beaver County large animal rescue squad.

According to a Facebook post by the Cranberry Township VFC, crews were on the scene for about 90 minutes. They were able to pull the donkey out of the water and it is doing well.
