Munich Firefighters Rescue Four Fox Cubs From Covered Pool

The case shows how simple fixes can keep urban wildlife from getting trapped.

Overview

  • Firefighters in Sendling, Munich, rescued four young foxes from an empty, covered swimming pool on Saturday.
  • A resident called for help after seeing a vixen and a kit circling an old pool and hearing whimpering from the covered basin.
  • Crews dismantled the wooden cover, climbed into the basin with a ladder, and lifted the frightened pups out one by one.
  • All four were lively and healthy, then dashed off with their mother and another sibling once released.
  • The fire department reinforced the cover to block small animals, a common step in urban rescues around abandoned or covered structures.
