t's not our usual call," said Banksville, N.Y., Assistant
Fire Chief Bill Richardson. "Very rarely do you see a horse on a roof."
But indeed that was their assignment: a resident called the fire
department to help get a horse off his garage roof. The garage is next
to a hill, and the horse apparently stumbled off the hill onto the
roof. "The roof couldn't support the weight," Richardson said, causing
its hooves to punch through the roof, so it was stuck. Firefighters
called in a veterinarian, who sedated the horse. They then built a ramp
and walked the horse down to the ground. When amazed onlookers asked
Richardson how the horse got on the roof, he told them, "It was a
flying horse." (White Plains Journal News)
