Alfreton Community Fire Station officers were called to reports of a calf who had got stuck in a canal in Trowell on Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire border on Tuesday, August 4.
The crew found the ‘exhausted’ animal eating some plants while waiting for her rescue.
Firefighters soon freed the calf bringing her back to safety.
A spokesperson for Alfreton Community Fire Station said: “Last night Alfreton white watch went to Trowell to help rescue a calf who had got stuck in the canal.
“She was too exhausted to get herself up but appeared content eating the surrounding plants until our crews freed her.
"Once freed from the water and mud the little girl got to her feet.”
