El Niño brought some intense weather conditions to coastal areas of California last week. The heavy downpours resulted in power outages, cars getting stranded on highways, as well as evacuations. The area also experienced unusual flooding as a result, which affected more than just the residents.
In a brave moment caught on camera, local firefighters put their lives on the line for a helpless pooch who got caught in the treacherous floods. The clip, taken at the scene and shared by Fox 29 on Facebook, shows the moment these generous firefighters carried the dog away from danger using a ladder.
The rescue, reminiscent to the time police in Colombia saved a dog stuck in a flash flood, left several viewers in awe. A few commented to praise the firefighters for showing sympathy to the animal, including one who said, "Thank you to the firemen for there compassion to the dog."
What's even more heartwarming to see was the dog's reaction once he was safely placed on land. The pooch is seen licking one of the rescuers in what can be acknowledged as an act of gratitude.
Just watch the incredible rescue for yourself below — I'm sure it'll bring a smile to your face!
And please SHARE to commend these firefighters on a job well done!
