Smith County firefighters save dog stuck in storm drain
SMITH COUNTY, Texas (KETK) — Smith County firefighters rescued a dog that was stuck in a storm drain on Monday. Texarkana K9 helps capture escaped inmate in woods, officials say Smith County firefighters responded to a call from a neighbor who said they heard a dog in the storm drain, according to Smith County Emergency Services District 2 Spokesperson Nikki Simmons. Firefighters dove into multiple storm drains before they found the dog. Simmons described the animal as a larger dog that was very skittish, which prompted rescuers to place themselves at each end of the drain to 'coax' the dog into going toward one of the firefighters. After just over an hour, the dog was lifted out of the storm drain without incident. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
