Putting off the inevitable

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. - A group of Kansas firefighters helped save the bacon – literally. 

On Thursday, firefighters in Overland Park received a call for help on U.S. Highway 69 to assist a broken-down tractor-trailer that was hauling pigs, leaving the animals stuck in the sweltering heat. The truck driver informed firefighters that the piglets wouldn't survive the heat without ventilation or water.
