15 Photos of Firefighters Who Bravely Risked Their Lives To Save Animals

All lives matter and with the dangerous nature of their work, firefighters are bravely risking their own lives in order to save others. In some instances, the ones they save aren’t even humans but animals.

This compilation you will see below is a touching tribute for courageous firefighters from different places across the world. In behalf of the entire mankind, thank you for the work that you do and thank you for showing us the true value of every life.

As Lt JJ Edmondson once said:

“The role of a firefighter in today’s society – be it urban, rural, natural environment, volunteer, career, industrial, defence force, aviation, motor sport, or other is one of dedication, commitment and sacrifice – no matter what country we reside and work in. In the fire service we fight together against one common enemy – fire – no matter what country we come from, what uniform we wear or what language we speak.”
