LAFD rescues a horse in an unlucky situation

Firefighters arrived at the scene to help get Lucky of the sinkhole.

LAFD Captain Erik Scott told FOX Weather that over 50 firefighters were at the scene to help get the horse to safety.

"We had helicopters overhead in case we were going to perform a hoist, but it was deemed in the best interest of the horse to try and get her out on her own," Scott told the channel.

The department is not entirely sure how the sinkhole was formed. However, they told FOX 11 that heavy rainfall that happened in Los Angeles County earlier this week and an old septic system may be the reason why Lucky was engulfed in the sinkhole.
