La Habra Heights Owl Rescue

Today at 8:45am on July 31st, 2018, La Habra Heights Medic Engine 771 responded to a public assist call. On arrival, Firefighters discovered a small, wild, juvenile owl in distress that was entangled in a garden net. The owl was very weak and in obvious need of assistance.
