WATCH: Police officer runs into burning farm, rescues cows
A police officer who ran into a burning barn and found three cows near flames says the bovines “made a beeline” for the safety of a pasture once he opened a gate holding them back.Wisconsin police officer Andrew Crabb was nearing the end of his overnight shift when he spotted smoke coming from a barn at a farm. He stopped, dashed across a field and entered the barn, finding the cows trapped and mooing in distress. Crabb said the cows “made a beeline” out of the barn and joined the rest of the herd in the pasture. He said the three cows had been kept in the barn overnight because they were deemed “prone to escape.”Police body camera video shows Crabb entering the barn, with flames near the animals. After he removed a chain from the gate, Crabb said, “come on guys,” and the cows quickly made their way out of the barn.“Thankfully, everyone was safe!” police said in a post on the department’s Facebook page.Crabb said an all-volunteer fire brigade was able to “save the majority” of the barn.
