1/18/18 @ 12:35 p.m. - On Tuesday, January 16, 2018, several Nassau County agencies and several civilians worked together to rescue a 24 year old horse that had fallen into a septic tank. Upon arriving to the scene, responders immediately noticed that the horse was exhausted and knew they had to move quickly to save him and prevent further stress. The first thing they did was remove the remaining portions of the broken septic tank lid so the horse could stand up. The water was then pumped out so that responders could access the horse to place a strap under his belly. The horse was then lifted out of the hole by the county's heavy equipment.
Great job to Nassau County Fire Rescue, Nassau County Animal Services, Nassau County Emergency Management, Nassau County 4-H, Nassau County Road and Bridge and the Sheriff's Office for saving him! And a big thank you to the civilians who assisted as well! It's wonderful to see so many people working together to achieve a common goal.
