- Emergency responders use a mud-soaked water hose to extricate a horse
The emergency responders saved a steed close to the Lower Rhine, which was on the brink of submerging in the mud. Upon arriving at the scene, they noticed the horse was already waist-deep in the muck and struggling to break free. Utilizing fire hoses and an extendable ladder, the responders successfully hoisted the animal and guided it towards the mud's edge. Thereafter, the horse regained its strength and proceeded to walk on its own again. A medical professional assessed the stallion's condition, concluding that it had endured its "impromptu mud odyssey" quite flawlessly.
After ensuring the horse's safety, the emergency responders realized there was a nearby barn threatened by fire. Swiftly, they transitioned their efforts to firefighting, extinguishing the flames before they spread further. The actions of the firefighting team prevented a potential catastrophe.
