UPDATE:
RESCUE COMES IN ALL SHAPES AND SIZES

On a chilly Tuesday night, Squad 86 along with Surry County EMS, Emergency Management and the Surry County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to a rescue involving a horse stuck in the ice of a frozen pond

The rescue squad responded to the area and located the horse trapped, having fell through the ice into the frigid waters below.

Rescuers were able to position a rescue truck and set a winch in place while a rope system and straps were safely placed along the animal.
After a few minutes and a couple cold fingers, rescuers successfully rescued the horse from the icy waters and back onto solid ground where he was further evaluated by medical and animal professionals.

This successful operation proves that these heartbeats respond for you, even if you’re walking on 4 instead of 2!

A HUGE THANK YOU to all our brave volunteers for enduring the elements and risking themselves without a second thought to ensure everybody makes it back home!

FOLLOW UP:
Our 4 legged friend is back and better than ever thanks to the quick response of White Pine Farms and your local rescue squad!
A special thank you to them and the horse’s owner for allowing us to visit him again! We appreciate their hospitality and friendship and look forward to seeing them again as we continue to bring rescue awareness to the community!
