(AP), Nov 30 - Firefighters were needed stat after a flying squirrel went nuts in a New Jersey hospital's emergency room. The squirrel kept launching itself from an 8-foot-high wall-mounted lamp into a glass wall after becoming trapped in a trauma room at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in Rahway Tuesday night. Fire Department spokesman Capt. Ted Padavano told The Star-Ledger of Newark (http://bit.ly/vxBiL0) it would climb up on a light and would jump off and glide. A pair of firefighters threw a blanket over the squirrel and released it into a wooded area outside the hospital. Padavano believes there may be a nest in the building because it's the second time in two weeks that a flying squirrel got in the ER.
