As thousands of Californians continue to flee from a raging deadly fire, one retired US Marine is running towards the flames to save stranded horses.
Tucker Zimmerman has been venturing into evacuation zones to save panicked livestock that others have had to leave behind.
The Carr fire, which continues to rip through northern California, has already taken the lives of a woman and her great-grandchildren as well as two firefighters.
But despite the daunting task, Zimmerman is modest about his accomplishments.
‘I’m just the guy who moves stuff around,’ he said.
Zimmerman uses a large trailer borrowed from his job selling tractor equipment to rescue the animals.
On Saturday he had just delivered five horses to safety when he received a call to pick up others nearby.
The horses were being taken to stables, rodeo grounds, and ranches whose owners have opened their property to the steady stream of livestock rescued by Zimmerman since Wednesday.
‘He restored my faith in humanity,’ said Noah Urban, an Oregon resident whose stranded six-year-old horse named Bolt was saved by Zimmerman.
