A cow was rescued by Block Island Fire and Rescue on Sunday after falling through the ice. 

Block Island Fire Department member Lisa Sprague captured the effort. 

“In answer to the question, ‘What DO you do on Block Island in the winter?’ Sometimes the Fire and Rescue Department assists a farmer/fellow firefighter in rescuing a cow that had fallen through the ice,” said Sprague. “Another satisfied customer.”

“Great job to the team that had just finished ice rescue practice today,” she added. 

Sprague told GoLocal the incident “occurred at a retired gravel pit turned pasture owned by Sprague Farm on the West Side of the island.”
