Oakland firefighters help elephants cool down

OAKLAND, Calif. (KTVU) - Oakland Firefighters volunteered their time in an unusual place today.

Firefighters from the Oakland hills spent the day spraying elephants down at the Oakland Zoo.

Temperatures were only in the 70s, so zoo keepers say the animals were not at risk of overheating, but they thought the elephants might enjoy the activity.

Zoo visitors also enjoyed the show.
