| [FoxNews] When many were fleeing the California wildfires, Randy Savvy jumped into action and drove into the fires to save endangered horses. Savvy, founder of the youth advocacy nonprofit group, the Compton Cowboys, has been pivotal in rescuing horses as the California wildfires continue to ravage the state. The organization, whose motto is "Streets raised us. Horses saved us," has been part of a growing coalition to rescue forgotten livestock amid the devastation. "My first instinct was ‘how do I help?’" he told Fox News Digital. "It's how I am and how I was raised." He shared that, shortly after offering to help, his phone began to "blow up like crazy." People needed help, and Savvy was there to offer it. "I rescued six horses the first night," he shared. "The horse community got active so fast to protect those horses." Savvy drove into a restricted area in Calabasas after a woman called for a helping hand to retrieve her horse. "All you could see was orange," Savvy said. "I came from Compton to Calabasas, and it took about an hour and a half to get there, and she was ready. And we got those horses loaded up. "She was so emotional. And I will never forget this." |
