Blue Cut Fire Animal Evacuation Shelter
Channel: Cal OES
Date: 2016-08-20

As the Blue Cut Fire roared through rural San Bernardino County on Tuesday, many residents who own livestock scrambled to move their animals out of harm's way. Friends and neighbors pitched in to help with vehicles and trailers, and volunteers jumped into action to get the shelter at the San Bernardino County Fairgrounds up and running. Over 600 cows, horses, goats, pigs, chickens and geese were safely cared for by a legion of animal-loving volunteers. Owners are now being reunited with their animals and some are being allowed to return home as evacuations are lifted.
