Today was tough.❤🔥
Our teams were spread wide, stationed at various points around the fire perimeter, watching for fleeing animals. But with the fire still raging, all we could do is watch, wait, and be ready.
Here's what we know:
❤️Everyone who was evacuated has been safely accommodated — pets and people together, safe for the night.
❤️Horses have been moved from the area.
❤️Baboons are all accounted for.
💔But the wild animals caught in the fire's path? They're still out there — injured and in pain.
As soon as the authorities give the green light, we move.
It will be slow, exhausting and hot work for our fire-trained team but search we will - until we're sure that not one animal in need of help has been left behind.
🆘 HOW YOU CAN HELP RIGHT NOW:
We urgently need donations of:
🐾 Eyedrops
🐾 Burnshield dressings
🐾 Silbecor ointment
🐾 Bottled water
