Overview
- Alliance Fire and Rescue Services responded to a drainage pipe on Delta Road in Windsor Township, York County, after a call from Raven Ridge Wildlife Center.
- Crews dug around the deep, narrow pipe and cut it open so a rehabilitator could reach fox kits trapped inside.
- A property owner had freed one kit earlier, and rescuers then discovered four more hiding within the pipe.
- The wildlife center said one kit did not survive, likely from suffocation, and staff cleared the remaining four for a reunion with their mother.
- Staff plan to place the kits in a box outside and play recorded kit calls to draw the mother back, and they urge residents to cap open pipes to prevent similar incidents.
