Sgt. Justin Ames with the Jeffersonville Fire Department said the department was able to use the skills they practiced earlier this week to safely get the cow out of a frozen pond in Nabb, Indiana.

Firefighters, who assisted New Washington firefighters, cut a path in the ice and walked the cow out of the cold water. No one was injured in the rescue, Ames said.

It was unclear how long the cow was submerged in the water.
