A horse in Colorado that was in danger of sinking was rescued by a cooperative effort between the locals and the fire department. Facebook posts regarding the incident were made by Front Range Fire Rescue. The department reported that once staff members assessed the horse’s condition upon arriving at a rural Weld County ranch, they asked the Loveland Fire Rescue Authority’s Large Animal Rescue Team for help.

Front Range Fire Rescue in a Facebook post wrote, “At approximately 6:37 P.M. last night, Front Range Fire Rescue (FRFR) responded to a rescue of a draft horse trapped in a bog. First-arriving firefighters requested the assistance of the Loveland Fire Rescue Authority’s Large Animal Rescue Team. Crews worked together for 3 1/2 hours to extricate the horse. Area neighbors also assisted your first responders in the operation. The horse was treated immediately by a CSU veterinarian.”

They also posted photos of the terrified equine that was trapped in the swamp, along with the individuals attempting to save it.
