TAMPA, FLA. (WSVN) - A Florida firefighter freed a bird that got caught in a tight spot.

The owl got itself lodged at the base of a tree near Tampa, where it couldn’t free its wings.

A firefighter for Pasco County Fire Rescue delicately reached between the tree branches to lift the trapped owl.

Once its wings were freed, the owl quickly flew off unharmed.
