Firefighters sprang into action and used a handsaw to untangle the deer. They ended up removing an antler from one of the animals in a matter of minutes, before setting both of them free.
The firefighters say it's not harmful for the deer to lose their antlers since they will no longer have them in a few months anyway. The deer are expected to be OK after their eventful rescue.
