On Saturday, Jonathan Rivas was capturing the property damage along Highway 96 in the community of Klamath River, situated along the Klamath River near the Oregon border at about 5:30 a.m.
"As I was setting up for a shot, a puppy came out running from the home that was leveled by the fire," Rivas said in a note accompanying his video footage. "The puppy greeted me with excitement, I was able to save the dog from the unsafe conditions, I fed the puppy treats and gave it water then I took him to a rescue shelter in Yreka, 30 miles from where I originally found the puppy."
