Animal evacuees flee Indian Gulch Fire
Volunteers can be the key to saving animals that might otherwise have nowhere else to go in the face of a wildfire that forces evacuations. As the Indian Gulch Fire rages near Golden, Colo., animals forced to evacuate are being taken in by the Jefferson County Fairgrounds. (Video by Lyn Alweis, The Denver Post)
When the Four Mile Canyon Fire threatened Boulder, Colo., and later the Boulder Dome Fire, animals were taken in by volunteers, fairgrounds, pet stores and more.
Once the Four Mile Canyon Fire was under control, Sizzle the Cat was found huddled under a rock inside the burn zone (photos), alive but burned and with his whiskers singed off by the fire. It took a few days, but Morgan (Sizzle was a nickname given by care providers after the fire) was reunited with owner Lori Church.
John Davidson’s Fetch blog offered some advice on how to help displaced pets during the blaze in September, 2010. Keep it in mind if you’re willing to help with evacuated animals during future wildfires.
