As the Easy fire burned in Simi Valley last month, images of frightened horses running between a column of evacuating vehicles gripped animal lovers nationwide.
When flames threatened a barn, volunteers moved the equines to safety. All but one escaped the blaze; a 28-year-old mare broke her front legs and was euthanized, according to reports.Throughout the region, volunteers offer to help during disasters by towing their horse trailers into evacuation zones after reading pleas for help on social media and group chats.
“You can send a big trailer but then it can’t turn around,” Johnson said. “You need to know the terrain.” “We’ve had very preliminary conversations at the staff level involving the future of LART and the optimal structure to provide countywide emergency response,” Mata said in a prepared statement. “We value our partnership with the county and look forward to continued discussions.”Emergency management staffers with the Orange County Sheriff’s Department are engaged in discussions about LART’s future and do not object to OC Animal Care taking over the program, the department’s Carrie Braun said.
