A lady in  Spring, TX , found a bat in her fireplace. The bat had crawled in the ignition area of the fireplace. We advised to keep a look out for the bat and not to use her fireplace until the bat has been found. We provided guidance on how to safely contain the bat and located a bat-trained rescuer in the finder’s area. The bat was transferred to a rescuer where he/she will be assessed for hopeful release back to the wild.
