Cali Grieco of Santa Ynez has animals out on a ranch in one of the evacuation zones and on Wednesday night, she returned to rescue her beloved pig.
Grieco has had Waddles for the last five years and was relieved to have been able to evacuate her.
"We were very worried about them because everyone is evacuating out here...Growing up here we all know each other, and it really is like a family so when we are in times of need we come together. Her being saved just makes my heart full, she's my best friend..."
Cali Grieco
