A horse needed rescuing in Roy Tuesday morning after it became stuck in a creek, South Pierce Fire and Rescue reported.

The horse was stuck in a creek in the 2000 block of 336th Street S. in Roy.

“The horse was reported to be stressed and unable to get out on its own,” South Pierce Fire and Rescue wrote on social media. “With the support of our mutual aid partner, Central Pierce Fire & Rescue, crews worked together to safely complete the rescue.”

The horse was then transferred to veterinary care for evaluation and treatment.

“We appreciate the coordinated efforts of all agencies involved in ensuring a safe and successful outcome,” South Pierce Fire and Rescue stated.
