His family's cat, Ruby, was struck at the top of a fir tree standing more than 12 metres tall—but he wasn't sure how to get her down safely. And sure enough, Ruby had made it to the very tip top of the tree," Rockwell said Sunday from his family's home in Spectacle Lakes, near Lunenburg. By Sunday morning, Rockwell said they realized they needed professional help. As a former volunteer firefighter at the nearby Dayspring and District Fire Department, Rockwell had never responded to such a situation so he turned to Facebook for advice. Fire Chief Darren Romkey said they made sure to position the ladder above Ruby in the tree, so she would move down the tree and not up.
