As the angry flames of a California wildfire eat across hundreds of acres of land, firefighters everywhere are doing their best to calm the ravaging blaze. However, sometimes there is just no stopping nature from running its course, and the only thing they can do is try to get people and their loving animals out of the way of the fire's unstoppable fury.
But sometimes not even the animals can manage to get away. For whatever reason, it could be because their owners were away when the blaze began or it could be due to any number of causes, but sometimes our loving pets get left behind. We can only hope that the owner wasn't allowed to return to their home by authorities, because anyone who would willingly leave these precious animals behind (like the people who abandoned a baby horse) is a real monster!
Luckily, the gorgeous animals in this video managed through the fire okay. They certainly had someone looking after them, because when two electricians from the local power company came in to fix downed power lines, they suddenly realized that there were some hungry horses walking around.
The two men, Stanislaus Wiecek and Jeff Wolford of Pacific Gas and Electric Company, took a few minutes of their time to make sure the horses had some apples to eat and some water to drink. While these horses aren't as hungry as the stallion who chased a bale of hay down the road, they were still in some sore need of a quick snack!
Thank goodness for these two caring men, we're happy that the horses are okay, and we hope that the family who was forced to leave them behind can finally rest easy with the knowledge that their animals are safe and well taken care of! While it's not yet confirmed, we hope that the horses will be taken to a spot where they can get the love and care they need!
Please SHARE this story if you're thankful that those two men were there to feed the horses!
ABOVE AND BEYOND: Reporter Alex Savidge KTVU came across 2 PG&E workers who took the time to help a group of horses, who'd been left behind as flames swept through Middletown. Even though Stanislaus Wiecek and Jeff Wolford had plenty of downed power lines to deal with, they took a couple minutes to feed the horses some apples and give them water.
