North Texas firefighters rescue 'extremely lucky' horse from sinkhole
Arlington firefighters responded to an unusual situation last week when they had to rescue a horse that fell into a sinkhole most likely caused by recent flooding.
The horse, named Ginger, became trapped four feet below the surface after the soil in a driveway collapsed from under her, Lt. Lee Tovar, a spokesman for the Arlington Fire Department, said in a phone interview.
