Station 38 Fire responded to the lake equipped with ice rescue suits around 4:15 p.m. and found the deer submerged up to its legs, the department said on Facebook.
The deer was quickly wrangled to shore by Hope Volunteer Fire Department members Francis Giambrone and Terry Urfer, officials said.
“The young gal was happy to be back on dry land and scampered off,” the post said. “Hopefully she stays off the ice until it gets a little thicker.”
