STOW, Ohio (WOIO) - A trapped turtle got a helping hand from the Stow Fire Department on Thursday.

Apparently, he has been stuck in the culvert at Bakers Glen for some time, according to a social media post from the Stow Fire Department.

Mayor John Pribonic alerted the department, and they jumped into action and responded to the scene.

After the turtle was set free, crews hung around for a bit until it wandered off to a pond just up the hill.

According to neighbors, they believe this to be a relative of Spike, Stow-Munroe Falls Public Library’s mascot!
