Baby fox rescued after falling into irrigation drain in Farmington

According to the City of Farmington, on Saturday, May 10, the fire department received a call from a resident who found a baby fox had fallen into a round irrigation valve vault. The fire crew and Todd Adams, the Deputy Director of the Utah Department of Natural Resources, who is also a Farmington resident, responded.

Adams called local conservation officers with the Utah DNR Division of Law Enforcement to help with the rescue. After being lifted out of the concrete vault, the baby fox ran into its den nearby.

“A big shout out to Todd Adams and his professional conservation officer team,” Farmington City wrote in a post with photos of the fox.
