Firefighters crawl across frozen lake - to rescue a stranded deer.

Crews from the Prior Lake Fire Department in Prior Lake, Minnesota, USA, were called to Pike Lake.

The animal could not stand up on the slippery surface of the ice so the firefighters used poles to push it to the edge.

Prior Lake Fire Department arrived after receiving calls from neighbours regarding the deer.
