Inter--Can​yon Fire Rescue Extricates Three Horses from Horse Trailer

Inter-Canyon Fire/Rescue firefighters responded to a truck and trailer accident today to assist with the extrication of three horses from a horse trailer.  The trailer and truck slid from the road in White Deer Valley, in the area of Deer Creek Canyon Park, about 11:30 a.m. this morning.  Firefighters worked to ensure the safety of both emergency responders and the animals during the extrication.  Firefighters were able to gain access to the trailer and release the horses.  The horses had only minor cuts and scrapes and were taken to a neighbor's home for assessment.  The driver of the vehicle was not injured in the accident. 

This is the second horse extrication by ICFR firefighters.  Two years ago ICFR firefighters responded to a horse trapped in a fence and assisted with releasing the animal during heavy snow conditions.
