Capt . Joe Boebel lead his squad — firefighters Zach Smith , Matt Wurgler , Wyatt Dupre , Wes Martin , and Eli Slater — to bump the kitty in doubt had broken through the old , worn cover at the cisterna ’s mouth and pass into the cavity below . Though just 16 inches wide at the mouth , the cistern opened into a much wider space at the bottom , some 12 fundament below solid ground .
" It appear the true cat had been down there a few day by the mode it was acting , " Boebel toldRichlandSource . " There was no water in [ the cistern ] , but there was mud at the bottom . "
First , the fire team tried lour a ladder down the opening to see if the cat might show a little initiative and rise out , but they had no luck . So Smith then forge a lasso from a length of rophy , lowered it down the initiative and , after a little trial and error , oversee to capture the stranded feline and haul them to base hit — like a very , very gamey - wager fair game .
And once they were deliver from the subterranean tomb , how did the bozo thank the rescuers?Perhaps with an appreciative clinch ?
" Once we got it out , it did n’t require to have anything to do with us , " Boebel tell RichlandSource .
As presently as they were free of the curtain raising , the cat run off for the passing , meeting up with one of their feline friends in a wooded area a light space away , before taking off to parts strange .
In the interim , Boebel and his team , with the satisfaction of a job well done being its own reward , contacted the property owner and separate him to make certain the curtain raising was reseal before any more animals launch their way of life to the bottom of the cistern .
