CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) -- A dog was rescued from an icy ravine by Chesterfield firefighters on Wednesday morning.

In the morning on Wednesday, Jan. 28, Chesterfield County Fire and EMS shared on social media that firefighters were called to help rescue a dog who fell several hundred feet down a ravine.

According to officials, the dog fell into the ravine near Anchor Landing Court because of the icy conditions in his yard following the winter storm.
