We just had a fireman end up in hospital with minor injuries after he fell out of a tree while attempting to rescue a koala.


From a tree.


Errrmmm....


Okay, it was in the suburbs, and said koala had just run across a road, narrowly avoiding death, and was now in a tree from which the most plausible exits were also across dangerous roads. It did need assistance. But, the national parks people have long lasso-on-a-stick devices which can secure a koala without some human attempting to out-climb it.

I have it on good authority that is was actually a drop bear, but that fact was covered up to prevent panic. Actually one fireman was killed and the other was horribly mutilated.
