Good rescue it was: Yoda the tortoise saved from school fire
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho — Firefighters have rescued a Russian tortoise named Yoda at an eastern Idaho elementary school after a heating device caused his habitat to start smoldering.
The Idaho Falls Fire Department says it responded early Wednesday to a fire alarm at Fairview Elementary School in Idaho Falls and found the building filled with smoke.
Crews discovered a smoldering fire in a classroom in Yoda’s 30-gallon enclosure and saved the tortoise.
