Local Photographer Captures Swan Rescue at Horn Pond

Firefighters carried the swan to safety following the rescue at the beginning of the month.

At Horn Pond, 2014 got off to a great start for a swan stuck in the ice thanks to a group of Woburn firefighters.

Woburn resident Roberto Souza passed along these photos from earlier this month, during which firefighters are seen carrying the bird away from the pond and to safety.

According to Souza, the swan was rescued on January 1 after the Woburn Fire Department was called to the bird in distress.
