This afternoon, around 5:00 p.m., the Vignola Fire Department intervened at the Modena Sud motorway toll booth for an unusual and delicate rescue. A kitten of about three months was trapped in the engine compartment of a car.
The accident
While the car, a VW Polo, was in a queue a few metres from the toll booth, the small feline darted between the cars, slipping into the Polo’s wheel arch and taking refuge in the engine compartment. The episode immediately attracted the attention of those present, who alerted the emergency services.
The Intervention of the Fire Brigade
It took the fire brigade team about an hour to free the kitten, working with great precision and delicacy. To reach the animal, it was necessary to lift the car using pneumatic cushions, remove the wheel, the wheel arch, the headlight and the bumper. In the end, the kitten was recovered safely and placed in a special cage.
Intervention by the Traffic Police and the Cattery
The traffic police subsequently contacted the staff of the local cattery, who verified the excellent health of the little animal. The kitten was then taken to the facility to be cared for.
