"They Rescue Horses, Don't They?"

Hot news From The Hugo Fire Department

HUGO - Little did the members of the Hugo Fire Department know that when they took a short course in "large animal rescue" from Hugo resident Cherie McKenzie of Sundown Horse Farm last spring, they would be putting that knowledge to use within the year.

This time of the year, a dunk in a creek where there is no firm footing at
the bottom can be disastrous – even for a horse. Annie’s rescuers stood
on the ice to pull her out, and tried not to be the “rescuers down under.”
Several firefighters, however, got more than their feet wet, as the large
holes in the ice on Clearwater Creek attested the next day.
