Mama Horse Goes Back Towards Danger To Save Her Foal From California Fire
In California, firefighters have been fighting over dozens of current wildfires that have been burning across the country for nights and days.
The "Easy Fire" has already burned 1,723 acres in Southern California, with only 10 percent under control.
The fire also reached the Simi Valley, where many horse farms are located. Heavy winds also caused major problems, causing the fire to spread very quickly, and helicopters could not help extinguishing the flames. Nevertheless, there are many firefighters and volunteers on the ground who rescue people and animals there.
