A text from a student riding the bus across the James Street Swing Bridge this morning helped to save the life of a deer. That text to his parents alerted the Fire Department of a deer that fell through the ice on the Kam River. Platoon Chief Joe Grzelewski says they put a rope around the deer and pulled it to safety. He adds the deer was pretty tired from treading water and holding onto the edge of the ice. Grzelewski adds the deer was alive when they released it and stands a better chance of survival now that its out of the water.
