Does the Fire Department rescue cats from trees?

No. The Fire Department does not respond to animals in distress unless a human is at risk, or is likely to be at risk by attempting a rescue.  Cats will self-rescue when conditions are favorable. They likely fled to the tree to escape danger. Provide food and water at the base of the tree and leave the area.
