Armed with water cannons, firefighters step in to combat situation
The Elusive Feathered Fugitive
Early one KaRLsruhe morning, a vibrant stroller graced the fire station yard. This mischievous avian rebel eluded the fire department that very day, making a beeline towards the Otto-Dullenkopf park.
His daring escape did not end there. The "Halle76," hub of the city's youth committee's children's cultural event "Kix," welcomed the intrusive peacock. Whether seeking a creative fix or just a aerial show, he took his seat comfortably on the rooftop, overseeing the colorful pandemonium below.
Mysterious Guest of Honor at the Cultural Fiesta
Unfazed by the human presence, the peacock disregarded attempts to apprehend him. Eventually, the fire department brought out their secret weapon: a turntable ladder. With the goal of encouraging the peacock to fly and guide him towards an open hall, they launched their plan. However, our flightless companion preferred his prime vantage point - until, at last, two heroic firefighters employed a daring tactic: water pistols.
Water Warfare: A Plan of Victory
A few well-aimed drops were all it took to shoo the bird from his post. The feathered fugitive fluttered down, marched into the hall obediently, and was ultimately caught by the zoo staff (perhaps weary of the “weather”).
Today, the peacock resides once more in the care of the Zoological Garden, where the animals roam freely, albeit seldom with such public attention. The incident at Halle76 wrapped up for the fire department at 14:15, concluded with damp plumage yet brimming with entertainment value.
