Rutherford County Firefighters Save Dogs from Sinkhole Feb 15, 2021 at 11:09 am by WGNS
Rutherford County, TN Rutherford County Fire Rescue crews saved two small dogs stuck in a sinkhole on Yeargan Road around noon on Saturday.
The sinkhole was around eight feet deep with a 16’ opening. The dogs were in 12 inches of water where the hole opened below the surface.
Firefighters were able to pull one of the dogs up and out using a rope snare, allowing the owners to immediately begin warming it up. The second dog was not able to be rescued this way, so firefighters had to do some quick thinking.
