Alaska firefighters help rescue a moose trapped in a home

TL;DR

ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- Firefighters in Alaska got an unusual request for assistance last weekend from the Alaska Wildlife Troopers, but it wasn't your mundane cat-stuck-in-a-tree situation.A biologist with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game was able to tranquilize the moose, but the animal wasn't completely unconscious.Once sedated, the next problem was getting the moose — which weighed at least 500 pounds (225 kilograms) — out of the house.Photos of the morning rescue show the moose unfazed, simply looking ahead between the two men maneuvering the front of the tarp down a hallway, watching where they are going.Once the sedative wore off, the moose apparently had his fill of human companionship and wanted to get back to the wild."
