Firefighters in Russia proved that being creative on the job could help you get it done faster and with better results.

When called about a cat stuck up a tree, they don't actually climb the tree to rescue it. Instead, they have it fall down by aiming a jet of water at it.

They shake down the tree with the water hose until the feline, which is stuck at the top of it, falls to the ground. In case you can't spot it, it fell to the right from one of the highest branches of the tree.

This is probably not the first time they employ this technique as it is fast and the cat doesn't get hurt.

It lands on its feet and bolts immediately after hitting the ground, showing no signs of injury.
