“Members of the public met the crew and showed them to where the deer was stuck,” the post said.
The deer was unable to escape the ditch due to being entangled in a net, officials wrote.
“Crews managed to cut the net to free the deer and covered it with a piece of sheeting to allow them to carry it back into the field to release it to safety,” the post said. “A good team performance on the pitch.”
