How do you get a raccoon out of a manhole cover??

Posted on June 14, 2021

Macomb County Animal Control called the Harrison Township Fire Department and when they arrived they were perplexed to see the raccoon with its head stuck in a sewer cover.

Veteran firefighter Lt. Brian Lorkowski took a photo while they figured out what do do.

First, they tried putting soap around the animal’s neck, but that didn’t work. They considered cutting into the cast iron cover, but it would be too risky.

“We were trying all different kinds of options to not try and hurt it, but it was stuck in there really good,” Lorkowski told MLive.

Finally, they asked a homeowner bring some cooking oil.
