Last Wednesday, residents near the Northern California town of Camp bellville were forced to evacuate their homes in the path of the state’s largest wildfire the Park Fire which has so far burned more than 370 thousand acres.

Among them was a person with their pets fleeing the fire zone in a truck that became disabled.

Resident left truck with two adult Rottweilers and puppies due to fire. Truck location given but inaccessible to responders, as per Butte County Sheriff.

Thankfully for the dogs, however, hope was not lost.

Having learned of the dogs’ predicament, Trevor Skraggs of the Butte County Sheriff’s Search & Rescue decided to try his best to save them.

Transported by helicopter to the fire-stricken area, Skraggs was deposited at a secure landing location that was a considerable distance from the last known whereabouts of the dogs.

“After arriving, Trevor ran 1.5 miles to the location and found the puppies and mother alive, but tired and very thirsty,” the sheriff’s office wrote.

Regrettably, the father of the puppies had passed away, however, Skraggs took proactive measures to ensure that the rest of the family did not face a similar tragic outcome.

He fed them and gave them water. Then, he guided the exhausted family back to the waiting helicopter.

Skraggs’ heroic efforts had saved their lives.

Upon landing back outside the fire zone, Skraggs posed for photos with the dogs he’d rescued.

In the midst of numerous tragic events, the safe arrival of the dogs served as a beacon of hope.

Subsequently, the canines were entrusted to the North Valley Animal Disaster Group, a non-profit organization dedicated to safeguarding animals affected by the fire.

Skraggs’ lifesaving actions have earned him praise from the public and his colleagues alike.

“It’s been a horrific few days for our community,” the Butte County Sheriff wrote. “We are grateful to be able to share this amazing story.”
