But while much has been lost, those bravely battling the blaze haven't forgotten the lesser-seen lives affected by the growing inferno. Last Monday, the U.S. Forest Service shared a touching account of one such life being saved. Recently, a group of forest service firefighters were at work in the hard-hit Los Padres National Forest when they encountered a desperate young deer who'd managed to escape the approaching flames. Rather than leave her to fend for herself, the crew dropped what they were doing to help her make it through.

"They provided her with water and helped her get back on her feet," the forest service wrote. She seemed to understand the firefighters were there to help. Not surprisingly, news of the firefighters' kind gesture went viral. And fortunately, while the fate of the young deer isn't known for certain, the forest service reports that hope isn't lost for her or other animals affected by the fires: "They will keep traveling until they find food and water. Luckily, both are still available in the area and they will surely navigate their way to them." *728x300 Ad Banner Something Strange Was Found Hanging From This Tree It's crazy how often this happens.
