(West Fargo, ND) -- The West Fargo Fire Department got a little shellfish with a rescue Friday afternoon near the Sheyenne River.

Crews got reports of a massive turtle beached near the River, and despite the turtle getting "a bit snappy" with firefighers, they were able to lead it back to the water.

The Department posted the "shell-fless" act on social media Friday, noting that they serve "all residents" of West Fargo, including turtles.
