Horsin’ around: Horses find ‘safe space’ at Prince George’s Co. fire station

WASHINGTON — Two horses are safe and back in their barns after they were found wandering outside a Prince George’s County fire station on Sunday morning.

Crew members saw the horses walking near Station 832 on Allentown Road, according to Prince George’s County Fire Department spokesman Mark Brady.

Shelter officials were able to contact the owner, who led the horses back to their barn.

Brady added that Prince George’s County fire stations are considered “safe spaces” where anyone can seek help.
