GEORGE TOWN: When firefighters are called to the Penang Bridge, it is usually to rescue someone who fell off.
This time, it was not a person who needed rescuing.
Instead, it was a kitten that was trapped in a pipe at the Sultan Abdul Halim Mu'adzam Bridge.
The Bayan Baru Fire and Rescue Station was alerted about the trapped kitten about 3pm yesterday.
Operations commander Azman Radzi said when firefighters arrived at the scene, they found a kitten trapped in a water outflow pipe.
"Our men climbed down using the rappelling method to cut the PVC pipe. We then rescued the kitten."
Azman said the kitten was safe and in a good condition.
