The Carr Fire has forced the evacuation of more than 38,000 people and, likewise, many animals have been forced to scramble to escape the flames.
A California Highway Patrol sergeant rescued one fawn that was spotted dangerously close to the blaze Saturday. According to CHP, the little Bambi was "way too close to the fire to allow him to stay until his mom returned."
A photo of the officer, Sgt. Dave Fawson, cradling the baby deer was shared more than 14,000 times on Facebook. Another photo shows the fawn licking an officer's neck.
A local animal rescue organization was contacted to take in the fawn, said CHP on Facebook.
