On September 19th, 2020 West Metro Fire Rescue responded to a horse rescue at the Bear Creek Lake Park. The owner was walking the horse near the lake when it spooked, got into a muddy area and started sinking. At one point, the horse was having a hard time keeping its head out of the mud. Firefighters used plywood as a platform as they dug down through the mud far enough to free the horse, using a rope to pull him out. He was tired, but ok.
