Oh Deer! Southwest Harbor Fire and Police Attempt to Rescue Deer Fallen Through Ice [PHOTOS]

The Southwest Harbor Police and Fire Departments were called to the Norwood Cove area for a deer stuck in the ice on Sunday, January 22.

After getting back onto the ice, the deer was slipping and sliding.

It must have been so scary falling down,

It sure looks cold! I wish I had a blanket to warm it up.

Luckily members of the Southwest Harbor Fire and Police Departments were there and had practiced cold water rescue and were geared up and ready to go out onto the ice and try and rescue the deer

Don't worry... There's a happy ending because the deer was able to reach the shoreline climbing up the steep slope into the trees -- and safety.
