“Soon after, the balloons got caught in some trees and firefighters were able to rescue the reptile.”

Congratulations are owed to the firefighters and to the turtle; however, strictly speaking, isn’t a turtle an amphibian rather than a reptile?

No, turtles are reptiles.

Frogs and salamanders are amphibians.
