JEFERSON COUNTY, N.Y. -- Ernest Ross and Kevin Voll work together as volunteers for the Depauville Fire Department. They were fighting a large brush fire on Route 12 in Depauville last Friday when it quickly turned into a life and death situation for Ross.
"When we got there, noticed the flames were headed towards the barn and headed over to the barn to see if we could knock it down. And while cutting across the field, I fell into a manure pit," said Ross.
The manure patch is the size of a large swimming pool and is overgrown with grass and weeds, so it's almost impossible to tell it's there. Ross says the owner of the farm even told him he's lost a few cows in the pit over the years.
"I couldn't get out. I told him I couldn't feel bottom. I could feel the murk pulling me down in," said Ross. "I honestly thought I was going to die."
"At first, I tried to just pull him out, hand him my broom, so I could pull him out that way. That slipped out of his gloves, so I leaned over, grabbed him by the wrist and pulled him out of the pit," said Zoll.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule.
