A Canada goose stuck on an icy Brampton pond was rescued by Brampton firefighters Monday.

Firefighters with the technical rescue team were called to the retention pond between Castlemore Road and Birch Tree Trail.

Two team members went out onto the ice using safety lines to ensure their own safety, and freed the goose. The bird was carried to the shore and Brampton Animal Services transported it to the Toronto Wildlife Centre for observation, according to Platoon Chief Gord Fowler.

Firefighters are being kept busy with several traffic collisions today, also.
