WASHINGTON — Two horses are safe and back in their barns after they were found wandering outside a Prince George’s County fire station on Sunday morning.

Crew members saw the horses walking near Station 832 on Allentown Road, according to Prince George’s County Fire Department spokesman Mark Brady.
