On Nov. 27, a team of firefighters in Denver rescued a rodent from a wildland interface fire near an apartment building.

South Metro Fire Rescue tweeted a short video of a firefighter cleaning soot off of the rodent by hosing it down with water.

“Exhausted and covered in soot, this little South Metro resident escaped the fire without injuries but needed a helping hand. After some water and careful placement back in the open space his day vastly improved,” the tweet reads.

South Metro Fire Rescue isn’t sure what type of rodent the firefighters saved, according to the video comments.
