FOUNTAIN, Colo., Jan. 28 (UPI) -- A Colorado fire department said two firefighters carefully navigated a frozen pond to rescue two cows that unwittingly took the Polar Bear Plunge.

The Fountain Fire Department tweeted pictures Tuesday afternoon showing a pair of orange-clad firefighters tethered to the shore of the pond off Squirrel Creek Road while reaching for the cows, which apparently fell through the ice while walking over the frozen pond.

The department said the cows are doing well after warming up from their frosty dip.

"Rescue complete, both cows are out from the pond and doing fine," the fire department tweeted.
