Police on Saturday raced to save 60 dogs and cats from an SPCA building that appeared to be in the path of California's Nelson Fire, and the rescue was recorded thanks to the officers' bodycams. The wildfire burned through 2,162 acres in Solano County before being contained Sunday, Time reports. Ultimately, the building was unharmed, though some items were lost to smoke damage and power loss, and the SPCA of Solano County posted on Facebook Sunday that foster families could return the animals to its care.
