Firefighters Water Horses
These firefighters from Florida are stepping up to help out some thirsty horses (from NBC6.net).
SOUTHWEST RANCHES, Fla. -- A lack of power is not just a problem for the people of South Florida. It's a problem for horses and other animals, too.Horses need several gallons of water a day. In Southwest Ranches, the water is in wells and must be pumped out with electricity. But without power, the horses are thirsty.
About two-dozen members of the Southwest Ranches Volunteer Fire-Rescue have been working nearly nonstop to get water to horses that need it.
They use brush trucks holding 250 gallons and an engine that carries 750 gallons to serve at least 30 ranches, and get water to more than 300 horses.
Kudos to the firefighters from Southwest Ranches Volunteer Fire-Rescue.
