Fire Crews Rescue Horse
Specially trained animal rescue technicians within the line rescue team worked alongside a vet
The island’s fire and rescue service has rescued a horse that became trapped in a stream.
Specially trained animal rescue technicians within the line rescue team worked alongside a vet who had been called to the scene to assist.
The service said: ‘Utilising our lifting equipment in conjunction with onsite machinery Maggie the Horse was successfully pulled from the river and returned to her stables for a well deserved feed.’
Earlier this afternoon, three major appliances and an aerial appliance from Douglas Station along with the Duty Officer were sent to reports of a structure fire.
The OIC of the first appliance quickly established that the smoke detectors had operated due to burnt food allowing all supporting appliances to be stood down.
