The men and women who serve our communities as firefighters and rescue workers are frequently put in situations where they emerge as heroes. Of course, they should be commended for performing their normal duties, but quite often they find themselves going above and beyond. And when I saw this story about what rescue workers did to save two trapped farm animals, I was absolutely floored.
Firefighters and rescue workers in Dorset, England, received quite a shock when they arrived on the scene of their latest call. The team arrived to find two fully grown cobs — which are small horses — trapped in a dirty water-filled swimming pool. Realizing that the horses must have fallen in the pool and would be unable to get out on their own, the Dorset Fire and Rescue Service sprang into action.
Scroll through to see the amazing photos of these heroes and this incredible animal rescue. The incredible men and women at the Dorset Fire and Rescue Service teamed up with an animal rescue team to try to free the horses from the swimming pool where they were trapped. The workers were called after the horses were discovered in the pool adjacent to a farm.
The rescue team wrote on Facebook that they began by “cutting away a significant section of undergrowth and shrubbery to make access.” The incredible teamwork between the rescue workers and the vets truly made a seemingly impossible task possible. Their efforts to save these two horses are heroic and highly commendable!
