The NIFRS West rescued a cow in Omagh on Monday evening that was sunk in a bog hole.

The Delta Watch team responded with their equipment.

The ground was unable to support any machinery so the crew dug out around the animal and affixed slings.

Assistance was requested in the form of Omagh Retained Specialist Large Animal Rescue Team.

They arrived in time to pull the cow out using the slings and ropes.

Both crews helped in rescuing the cow and it was left in the care of the farmer.
