Gulfport, Florida -- Sunday night, Birdie, a young scarlet macaw, escaped from his Wood Ibis-area home and took flight, landing on one of Gulfport’s highest rooftops at the west end of 27th Street South.

Birdie’s owner, Kent Johansen, called 911.

“911 called us and said, ‘Hey, we’ve got a bird on a roof’,” Gulfport Fire Chief Jim Marenkovic said. Gulfport’s Engine 17 went to the home and realized they would need a ladder truck to reach the bird, so firefighters called for assistance. The St. Petersburg Fire Rescue sent such a truck.

Getting prepared for storms- don't forget your pets!

Pinellas County, Florida -- When a storm comes to town residents are urged to evacuate with their pets.

Pinellas County pet owners have options when it comes to finding safe places to ride out a storm.

The best and most comfortable option for Pinellas County pet owners is a home of a friend, relative or coworker who lives outside of the evacuation zone. Arrangements should be made well in advance of the arrival of a storm.
