Connecticut swan frozen river rescue.

Firefighters came to the rescue of a swan found stuck in a frozen Connecticut river this week. Norwalk Fire Department crews donned cold-water rescue suits and used ropes to carefully go out on the ice-covered Norwalk River on Tuesday. They soon found the swan’s feet were frozen into the ice, and it took them about 30 minutes to free the bird and bring it to shore. It’s not clear how long the swan may have been stuck before it was discovered, and firefighters initially were concerned the bird had died. But as they approached, they noticed movement and quickly became optimistic about their rescue effort.
