艾瑪颶風橫掃美國佛羅里達州，消防員強森(Nicholas Johnson)災後清理時在一座毀損建築物裡發現一頭鹿，這頭鹿連日沒喝水已經奄奄一息，最後猛灌了4瓶水才恢復活力，往樹叢裡頭跑去。
強森和消防團隊19日在大鬆礁島勘察因艾瑪颶風損壞的建築物，撬開一面破損的牆壁竟發現一頭鹿，「我不知道那一刻是我比較驚訝還是鹿比較驚訝。」這頭鹿看起來精神狀況很差，於是他將寶特瓶蓋戳洞想喂水，沒想到這頭鹿喝了1瓶還不夠，最後連續喝了4瓶水才恢復精神，從消防團隊撬開的洞口跑走了。
驚人的不僅是這頭鹿的飲水量，其實這頭鹿是北美最小的「大鬆礁島鹿」，全世界剩下不到1000只，因次要見到牠們的蹤影也相當不容易。強森表示，很高興不只幫助了居民也幫助野生動物，不過若是在野外遇到野生動物，還是先請求相關單位協助。
This morning a fire crew from Delray Beach Fire Department was surveying some damaged residential structures as part of a Strike Team and came across a weakened Key deer inside. "I don't know who was more startled the deer or me," said Lieutenant Nicholas Johnson, who is part of the Strike team but works for Broward Sheriff's Office Fire Rescue. "I am just glad to not only help the residents, but the wildlife as well." After four hand fed bottles of water, the buck gathered enough strength to run off. DISCLAIMER: This is an extraordinary circumstance involving a distressed deer and a trained first responder. Residents of the Florida Keys should contact Florida Fish and Wildlife if they come across a deer in distress.
