On Wednesday July 22, 2021 at 11:07 am the Harrington Fire Company along with the Kent County Special Operations Units were dispatched to a large animal rescue in the 700 block of Pear Tree Lane.  Units arrived on scene and found a horse that had fallen down in a barn stall and was unable to get up.  A veterinarian was on scene accessing the horse and units began developing a plan to get the horse to its feet.  A rigging system was created and the horse was moved out of the stall and out of the building into an open field.  A tripod system was then set up to assist the horse to get up.  After the horse was lifted it was determined by the veterinarian and family that the horse had injuries that were incapable with the horse standing or making a recovery.  The horse peacefully passed away with its owners by it side.  The scene was then placed under control and all units cleared the scene.  UNITS ON SCENE:  50 Command, Ambulance B-50, Rescue 50, Tower 50, Special Operations 43-1, 53-8, 51-10, Fire Police, State of Delaware Animal Control, State of Delaware Department of Agriculture and Veterinarian and Fair Hill Equine Rescue Ambulance.  OFFICER IN CHARGE:  Fire Chief Robbie Brode.
