Translated from the Facebook post:
This morning at 7.30-time, the message came from the 110-Dispatch: two calves had stepped through the fjøsgulvet and stood in møkkakjelleren on a farm on the ravine.
The Ravine is located in ullensaker municipality and in the area of the upper district fire and rescue. Vaktlaget from the station on jessheim moved out, and our security in nittedal was asked to assist when they have equipment and matters on dyreredning. Nrbr also sent up a unit from lørenskog with usar equipment. Usar stands for urban search and rescue.
Together got crews from the upper district fire and rescue and lower district fire-and redningsvesen up the calves undamaged and for sure reason.
