Chief County: Armstrong City: Freeport Number Helped: 1 Synopsis: Assisted local F.D. for a horse stuck in the mud due to flooding in Armstrong Cty. Description: Assisted local F.D. (that now knew about us from the 4/12 flood shelter assist) for a horse stuck in the mud due to flooding in Armstrong Cty. in Freeport. We were initially told the horse was stuck in the mud on on it's side unable to right itself. Owner was elderly and recently had surgery so could not help and had no local neighbors to help. FD was on scene and a Veterinarian was called and supposedly in route. Our member was able to go immediately to the scene and was on scene within 10 min to assist with horse. FD had already supported the horse with airbags on both sides and horse was sternal by the time our member arrived. With the help of the fire fighters, our member, and the airbags- the horse was actually able to have enough support to attempt to stand on its own and got up. They put horse in the one field not effected by the flood for safety and tried to find local help for the woman to get mud scraped out of the current field. Volunteers: Susan Clark- was there initially as CART, but also assisted owner in her EMT role (as owner was knocked down by horse when it got up).

Incident Date: 04/02/2024 Incident Time: 18:21 Activation Date: 04/02/2024 Activation Time: 18:21 Official: Dispatch County: Somerset City: Upper Turkeyfoot Township Number Helped: 5 Synopsis: CART was requested to evacuate animals in danger due to rising floodwaters. Description: Somerset County experienced severe flooding April 2 and 3. A woman called 911 to report animals that had been abandoned along the Casselman River. The river was rising and she was concerned the animals would be swept away. CART responded with PSP and later the HPO arrived. There was a horse and goat in a pen, 3 dogs tied to a camper and chickens and ducks that were loose. They were close to the river and it was determined they had to be evacuated. We evacuated the horse, goat and dogs, but were unable to get the chickens and ducks. We discovered that the owners had been evicted from the property and they left the animals behind. The HPO is investigating and plans to press charges. Neighbors offered temporary foster care for some of the animals and the horse was transported to the Humane Society. We are hoping that they can be signed over since they were technically abandoned.

Incident Date: 03/24/2024 Incident Time: 17:46 Activation Date: 03/24/2024 Activation Time: 17:46 Official: Somerset Borough Police County: Somerset City: Somerset Borough Number Helped: 1 Synopsis: CART was requested by PD to assist with an aggressive dog that had bitten its owner Description: Person called 911 for assistance with their dog who had bitten one of the family members. Somerset Borough Police responded. The owners believed that the dog had bitten because it was sick and they needed help getting it into their car ro take it to a vet. Police didn't feel they had the expertise to handle the dog, so requested CART assistance. We responded with a crate and necessary tools. It was determined that the family did not have a relationship with a local vet for the dog to be seen on an emergency basis. They asked that we get the dog in the crate so that their children would be safe and they would take it to the vet the next morning. Our members got the dog in the crate and will pick up the crate in a few days.
