Quick-thinking and fire hose led to the rescue of a 1500+ pound bull in Eau Claire

A Facebook post by the Township Fire Department, Inc. shows the valiant rescue of a 1500+ lb. bull cow last Friday evening. According to the post, firefighters were dispatched to help a bull that had fallen into a manure pit inside a barn. While the farmer pumped out the pit, the rescue team draped fire hoses under the bull using pike poles. Once the sling was created, the hoses were connected to a tractor with a front bucket and the bull was lifted out of the pit. Township Fire Department, Inc. congratulated the firefighters, saying their dedication “is exemplary.”
