It's not every day a fireman gets a call to rescue cows from a water reservoir.
But such a call was taken last month by New Zealand Fire and Emergency; two cows managed to keep afloat for an hour inside a water tank before being rescued.
The cows got into their predicament while walking on the roof of a hillside water reservoir in Ormond, north of Gisborne, which collapsed under their weight.
Officers had to use sledgehammers to bash a hole in the concrete side, drain the water then bring the cows to safety.
