RIDGEFIELD, Washington (KPTV) Clark-Cowlitz Fire Rescue, along with TLC Towing, helped rescue a cow that had been stuck in mud for several hours Thursday afternoon.
CCFR says a family milking cow slid down a 20-foot embankment and got stuck in mud up to its belly. The owners worked for several hours to cut back blackberry bushed and dig the cow out, but it sank deeper into the mud. The family then called CCFR to ask for help.
Crews arrived to the site at 3717 Northeast 259th Street, east of Ridgefield, and determined they could likely lift the cow out of the mud with the assistance of a crane. TLC Towing was called to assist.

Clark-Cowlitz Fire Rescue crews extinguished a fire burning an outdoor sauna Wednesday west of Battle Ground.
Firefighters were dispatched at 4:44 p.m. to the 23000 block of Northeast 67th Avenue for a report of an outbuilding on fire.
It took the first engine a bit longer than usual to arrive due to a mix-up with the street address. When it did, the crew found a structure used for a sauna up in flames, Fire Chief John Nohr said.
The fire was threatening nearby trees and the residence, so firefighters focused on preventing its spread before shifting attention to extinguishment, Nohr said. There were no reported injuries.
