FITCHBURG, MASS. (WHDH) - An owl stuck in a soccer net in Fitchburg flew free once again Friday morning, thanks to the patience of firefighters and maintenance workers who helped save the bird.
The city’s Engine 6 crew assisted Fitchburg High School workers after the winged creature was found entangled in the net.
Officials say the wide-eyed owl took flight after crews carefully unwrapped the netting.
