'Release the Kraken': Mesa Firefighters Free Feisty Cat

A cat stuck in an irrigation control box in Mesa, Arizona, proved a feisty client for firefighters called to rescue it, prompting one to quip “release the Kraken” as they lifted the lid.

This video shows firefighters removing the control box grate to reveal the trapped cat. With some coaxing, the feline climbs out of the irrigation box and dashes away to a “safe spot”.

“Still available to respond to 911 calls for services, the guys used technique, tools, and wit to safely release the Kraken,” the fire department said on Facebook. Credit: Mesa Fire and Medical Department via Storyful
