#AnimalRescue > A #horse ended up in a ditch in #Roden, #Netherlands, on Friday.
The fire departement arrived on the scene, but also slid into the ditch.
Both the horse and rider as well as the #firefighters were uninjured during this accident(s).
US Federal firefighters have been underpaid, under-recognised, and under-resourced compared to municipal and state colleagues who can be paid up to double for the same work.
