LEHIGH ACRES, Fla. — A dog named Max had an adventurous morning Wednesday, complete with flames, smoke, and rescue workers.
According to a series of tweets by Lehigh Acres Fire Control and Rescue, the dog was walking with its owner in the area of 71st Street W when they encountered a small brush fire.
The fire spooked Max, who ran into a nearby culvert pipe and became wedged inside.
Officials said the fire itself was extinguished quickly, however it took about two hours to free Max from the pipe.
"Max gave us 5/5 stars, but said he needs a nap," the department tweeted.
