On Tuesday April 17th the City of Fillmore Fire Department was called out on a typical response, that many fire departments no longer respond to. The reporting party called 911 after being told that animal control could not help them. The reporting party stated that a cat had been in their palm tree for 5 to 7 days. Medic Engine 91 responded, could hear the cat meowing in the tree, but were unable to see it. Firefighters extended a ladder into the tree and firefighter/paramedic Eric Arthur was able to locate and extricate the cat.
