A reporter and a photographer from ABC10 rescued four dogs that were trapped in an encampment in Butte County as the deadly Camp Fire closed in.
In a video released by ABC10, reporter Brandon Rittiman and photographer Pedro Garcia spot a group of dogs locked behind a fence as flames from the Camp Fire rage in the background.
Brandon Rittiman and our photographers found dogs stuck in a fenced area during the Camp fire evacuation in Butte County. What they do next is a great act of kindness. @itsonlypedro @BrandonRittiman pic.twitter.com/clAUlE1Eu7

As the two approach the fence, the dogs begin to frantically jump on the wiring before getting released.
After freeing the dogs, Rittiman and Garcia brought them to a Butte County Sheriff's Deputy, who assumed custody of the dogs.
The dogs were wearing tags, and Rittiman said he would call the owner.
