Daniel Trevizo, a Los Angeles County Fire Department captain assigned to the North Complex, told Record Searchlight that his team was working when they heard a kitten - now nicknamed 'Fire Cat'.

He put the cat in the pocket of his yellow fire jacket while he and his crew watered-down the place where the cat was found. The cat looked as if he may have been singed in the fire and could have burned paws, he said.

More than 16,750 firefighters have been battling the fires that have already killed 22 people, destroyed more than 4,100 structures and engulfed scores of communities - from the Oregon border to Mexico. The National Weather Service issued a red flag warning for Northern California through Monday night, with Incident Meteorologist Dan Borsum saying strong southerly winds and low humidity will result in elevated fire weather conditions across the region.
