An unlikely duo – two pigs – escaped unscathed from a Brooklyn warehouse fire early Thursday, the FDNY said.
The blaze broke out around 1:20 am. in the rear of a one-story warehouse on Van Dyke Street near Van Brunt Street in Red Hook, officials said.
At some point, the two dark-colored pigs were removed from the building, according to the FDNY.
Video from the scene shows one of the firefighters trying to swoop up a pig, but it grunted before escaping his clutches and going under the fire truck.
Both animals can be seen wandering around on the rainy street as firefighters and cops kept an eye on them. At one point, both of them grazed in a grassy area surrounding a tree.
The FDNY had no further information on why the pigs were there or what happened to them.
Three firefighters were hurt in the fire, and taken to NYU Langone Health—Cobble Hill as well as Weill Cornell Medical Center.
A total of 138 firefighters responded to the scene.
The cause of the blaze is under investigation.
