Homeowner hears ‘strange sounds’ in CA chimney. See the fluffy creature rescuers found
When firefighters responded to a California home about “strange sounds” coming from a chimney, they found a fluffy, feathered creature trapped inside.
After arriving at the Chino Hills home and determining the odd noises to be from an owl, a firefighter safely removed it from the chimney, the Chino Valley Fire District said in a June 28 Instagram post.
A video posted by fire officials shows a firefighter holding the “young owl,” which turns its head and almost appears to throw him a smile.
The county’s humane society took over caring for the owl, which will be released to the wild after rehabilitation, according to fire officials.
Chino Hills is about 35 miles southeast of Los Angeles.
