It’s a good thing Edmonton fire crews are unflappable.

In a classic case of man versus nature, Edmonton Fire Rescue Services were called to the city’s southwest Friday morning to help a motorist retrieve a set of car keys … from a goose.

Normally fish and wildlife officers would deal with such calls but they were unable to assist because they were in the midst of their own call dealing with an errant moose, an Edmonton Fire Rescue Services spokeswoman said.

The man initially called police at 10:54 a.m. in the area of Elwood Drive and 91 Street SW. Crews arrived two minutes later and helped in the man-versus-goose situation.

There was no word on how the keys ended up near the goose or what prompted the goose to take a keen interest in the motorist.

Crews left at 11:09 a.m.

No one was injured.
