Man pulls over, saves rabbit from CA wildfire

Thousands of Californians are suffering the devastation caused by fast-growing wildfires that have burned through more than 100,000 acres.  New video shows one man appearing to brave the fire to save a wild rabbit from the chaos.

The video quickly making the rounds on the Internet shows a Ventura County highway engulfed in smoke and flames, an orange sky in the backdrop.  A wild rabbit quickly runs across traffic and into the burning brush.

Then a man wearing shorts and a hoodie frantically goes after him.  He looks panicked: clutching his head, jumping and pacing.  Finally he goes into the brush a little and gets the rabbit into his arms and out of the fire.
