The California fire has killed nearly 50 people while rescuers continue to search for missing residents. The consuming fire has been the most destructive in California's history. While the rescue forces are at their best trying to save lives, the animals trapped in the adjoining areas who have no means to escape the inferno are dying by the dozens.

But rescue workers are not giving up their efforts in bringing them to safety. Photos and videos going viral on social media show workers evacuating horses, cats and dogs trapped from affected regions. California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire) said that the fire had burnt 130,000 acres (526.1 square km). More than 5,600 firefighters have been deployed in the area to control fire. California Fire: Heartless Boss Asks Employee to Come to Work While His House Was Being Evacuated.
