Fire crews from several communities joined forces to rescue a dog that fell down a well in Kingston during Sunday’s snowstorm, officials said.
A large German shepherd named Arlo fell 20-25 feet down a well on Marshall Road, after the lid was knocked off by a snowplow. Arlo fell in, landing in about 2 feet of water, Kingston fire officials said.
Around 8 p.m., members of the Plaistow Fire Department responded to Kingston at the request of that town’s fire department to assist with “below grade” or trench rescue efforts.
After a few unsuccessful rescue attempts, a tripod was used to lower a Kingston firefighter into the well, and he was able to safely retrieve the dog.
Staff from the Mitchell Animal Hospital in Kingston responded to the scene and examined Arlo once he was out of the well, Kingston Fire Chief Graham Pellerin said in a statement.
Arlo has been reunited with his owners and is doing well, Pellerin said.

“To say I am proud of my firefighters, our mutual aid system and the ability to successfully work with every Kingston department for the common good is amazing,” Pellerin said in a statement. “Thank you to everyone who assisted this evening.”
Below-grade confined-space rescues can be “extremely dangerous,” the Plaistow Fire Department (PFD) said in a statement.
“PFD was able to provide life-safety rope and monitor the space for any deadly gases,” PFD said in a statement.
“Excellent teamwork by all of the personnel. We work extremely well with our neighboring departments.”
