This is the best summary I could come up with:
It seems animal rescue is all part of the job for firefighters in Russia too but in Smolensk it was a bit more serious than a cat up a tree.
An owl with an injured wing was found lying outside the gates of a fire station on Monday morning, being pecked by crows, officials say.
The Ural owl (Strix uralensis) was then taken to a vet's for an x-ray and further care.
It will be sent to a wild bird rehabilitation and reintroduction centre in the near future, according to Smolensk's emergency services.
It was put in a box in a dark place because because it suffered from the light, and they fed it."
The bird is expected to make a good recovery but will remain at the vet's until it can be sent to the rehab centre, she added.
