COEYMANS HOLLOW, NY — January 24th — The Ravena Fire Department responded with Ladder 26-70 to assist the Coeymans Hollow Volunteer Fire Corp. with an animal rescue of a cat stuck in a tree.

Ladder 26-70 positioned itself on the street and deployed the aerial gadget. A firefighter ascended and carefully captured the animal.
