The Zoneton Fire Protection District rescued two trapped deer from a flooded basement under construction on Sunday. People watch as rescue workers approach the two deer. Around 1 p.m., the ZFPD was dispatched to a house under construction on New Christman Lane, off of Zoneton Road. The deer were trapped inside, with no way to get out. Two deer were stuck in the foundation of a basement, in about three feet of water. Firefighters got down into the water and were able to get the deer out safely within about 20 minutes, the ZFPD said. The deer were carefully wrapped in tarp and lifted to safety. A video of the scene showed a deer being carefully wrapped in a tarp and carried to safety, then running off in the direction of the nearby woods.
