YouTube

An alligator trapper was called to a fire station in Florida after an 8-foot alligator was found sheltering underneath a fire truck.

Mike Dragich responded to a call from Jacksonville Fire and Rescue after workers found the alligator hiding in the fire department building.

The reptile, which lives in a pond next to the fire department, was eventually captured and secured by Dragich. 

In a video posted online, Dragich can be seen running through the building before eventually tackling the alligator.
