Crews from the Rural Fire Brigades at Ourimbah and Berkeley Vale Rural had a rescue of a very different kind on their hands last week.
On Tuesday, June 27, they were called on to assist with the rescue of a horse.
Due to rugged terrain and limited vehicle access to the area, crews made their way into Ourimbah State Forest on foot, where they had found a horse and owner stuck down a small trail.
Crews worked together to clear the surrounding vegetation and, with encouragement from the owner, the horse was able to safely walk out.
