They discovered the kitten was in a pipe between two drains located on opposing corners.
They requested assistance, and Emergency Service Section Officers Michael Casper and David Katzen arrived on the scene.
The two climbed into the drains and with a leaf blower provided by a nearby resident, they coaxed the kitten toward Officer Casper who was able to remove it safely from the drain.
