Middleburgh, NY
Farmers and firefighters rescued 150 trapped cows Tuesday night after a 20,000-square-foot dairy barn collapsed under the weight of three feet of snow, officials said

All of the animals got out safe, Middleburgh fire chief Mike Devlin said. One firefighter suffered minor injuries.
Crews were called to the Stanton Family Farm, located at 3271 County Route 145 in Middleburgh, at 6:28 p.m.

About 25 firefighters and 20 local farmers descended on the building but had to shore up the walls before any rescue efforts could begin.
The crew used a new Paratech stabilization kit and heavy-duty farm equipment to keep what was left of the barn standing, Devlin said.
The Middleburgh Fire Department purchased the stabilization struts just last week for $16,000. They can hold up 20,000 to 80,000 pounds, he said.
