‘I Didn’t Think It Was Alive”
“The whole area is just surrounded in a thick layer of ash and burned trees,” firefighter Nate Sink told the AP. “I didn’t think it was alive.”
The firefighters waited for an hour to see if the calf’s mother would show up, but they spotted no adult elk in the area; they also didn’t see any elk tracks in the ash around the calf. The firefighters decided to take the calf to a local ranch down the road.
