MALIBU FOUNDATION DONATES SLING DEVICE TO LACoFD TO ASSIST WITH LARGE ANIMAL RESCUES

WHAT:   

The Malibu Foundation is generously donating a sling device to the County of Los Angeles Fire Department to assist firefighters with large animal rescues.

This donation comes to the LACoFD following a horse rescue that took place in January of 2023, in which firefighters assigned to Fire Stations 70, 71, and 99 responded to.  During that rescue, firefighters created a makeshift sling out of hoses to save the horse.  The horse’s owner who works with the Malibu Foundation worked to get a sling donated to local firefighters for future rescues.

The horse saved in the January 2023 rescue, along with their owner, will be at the presentation.

WHO:     

LACoFD Assistant Fire Chief Drew Smith will be joined by representatives from the Malibu Foundation, along with councilmembers from the City of Malibu.
