our property line in... Brush Prairie, WA .
When we first went out with our neighbors, we didn't see anything, but the
deer wouldn't leave our yard. We went back to our house and watched, after a few
minutes the deer came back.We went out to the area the deer was concentrating on and
could hear a baby fawn crying in the rocks.
We moved some of the rocks and smaller boulders and saw a baby fawn's face
among the rocks. He had apparently fallen into a crawl through in one of the gaps and was
now trapped. The larger boulders were too heavy to move and we didn't want to have the
rocks cave in on the baby deer.
We finally called our Clark County Fire District 3. The B Shift team came
out and they were able to move the larger rocks out of the way with the Jaws of Life; enough to be able
to reach in and pull the baby fawn out and reunited it with its momma.
The fawn was probably stuck in there most of the night and quickly went to
nurse off its momma.
One of our neighbors took some video clips of the fire department's
rescue. I edited the clips into this short clip.
After sharing it with some friends they thought that it was just too cute
not to share with more people so my neighbors agreed to let me upload the final clip.

I lived in Clark County for 8 years. Those guys are the nicest bunch of people you could ever hope to meet. We had ceiling cable heat and it was my first experience with this type of heat. My DH was out of town, I had an 21 month old and was 6 months pregnant when I started to smell something burning. I looked around and noticed a scortch mark on the ceiling that was getting bigger as I watched. I turned off the thermostat and called 911 then took my son out to the driveway to wait. The fire dept was there super fast. As it turns out that type of scortching is caused from a short at a splice in the heating cables. It rarely actually starts a fire however they checked everything out completely before they left and never made me feel silly for calling.
