I am writing this letter as a thank you to the amazing team of Woodbury professionals that came to help me.
On a recent night I was outside and heard the cries of a kitten. In locating him, it was in a horrible spot - 15 feet down a PVC pipe used for drainage, blocked by another pipe half way down.
This kitten was doomed and I was beside myself.
I called the Woodbury Police and they contacted Animal Control. Pam Gamburi arrived and assessed the situation.
Once the rest of the amazing people came to help, they put their heads together, and after about an hour, were able to bring this kitten up to safety.
I would like to thank Scott McClennan, Woodbury Fire Chief, Pat Prozzillo, Assistant Fire Chief, Ed Smith, Assistant Fire Chief, Ed Hansen, Woodbury Fire Department, Rob Weyant, Woodbury Highway Department, and, of course, Pam Gamburi, Animal Control.
While I know this was just a kitten, everyone was intent on getting him out alive. They worked relentlessly coming up with ideas on how to do this ... and it worked.
I urge everyone in this community to support the Woodbury Police and Fire Departments because seeing what everyone did together to help a kitten sure makes me feel safe knowing how amazing they are when it comes to human life.
Thank you all so much. Samantha Armstrong
