Indiana firefighters rescue beaver from drain

After a resident in the Tipton Lakes neighborhood discovered a beaver that had appeared to have fallen into a lake spillway drain.

When firefighters arrived in the area of Heron Dr. and Goeller Rd., they found what they described as a juvenile beaver moving about the dry drain structure.

As firefighters assessed the beaverโ€™s condition, they concluded that the beaver did not appear to be injured or in any distress.

The problem was that the beaver had managed to enter the drain, which was approximately 6 feet high, and would have only been able to self-rescue at a time when the water level within the drain would have risen to a point that would have allowed the animal to access the top of the drain.

Firefighters entered the drain with a small box and managed to safely remove the beaver, who then waddled away no worse for wear.

The rescue took approximately 15 minutes.
