Firefighters rescue dog with head stuck in jar

Firefighters rescue dog with head stuck in jar
Robert Perea, The Fernley Reporter

Not all patients the North Lyon County Fire Protection District paramedics and EMT’s treat are the result of calls to 911.

Sometimes the patients come to the station.

“They arrive with all kinds of problems.,” Fire Chief Scott Huntley said. “Some even have four legs.”

Paramedic-Firefighter Kelli Cartwright and Captain Josh Cohen provided a swift extrication Tuesday morning, when a man brought in his dog, who had his head stuck inside a jar.

Huntley said Cartwright and Cohen sawed the jar off the dog’s head.

“From what I witnessed this was one very appreciative pup!” Huntley said.

The name of the dog, or its owner, was not available.

Why does the County have to pay the whole bill? Just my opinion.Comment publication date: 5/7/26, 10:26 AMComment source: Storey County, Tesla partner to extend I-80 Patrick on-rampComment author: Alan ReederComment text: Great guy, laughed easily, had fun with his students, enjoyed our time together at FHS!Comment publication date: 4/23/26, 10:23 PMComment source: Howard David JacksonComment author: Jack & Nancy CookComment text: Wonderful man.
