Horses near the fire line last week in Ventura County.<\/p><\/div>\n

By Lizzie Johnson<\/strong><\/p>\n

When the mandatory evacuation orders came and the fire rigs blared into their neighborhoods, they stayed.<\/p>\n

\n

They stayed when the flames licked along fence lines, and they stayed when the sparks from the wildfires singed the bottom of their hair. They stayed until Brian Laughlin, 43, saved them.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s how about 25 horses across Ventura County survived the firestorms blazing across multiple fronts this week: Herded into the back of Laughlin\u2019s trailer, three at a time, and driven to pastures far away.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

It\u2019s not their fault they stayed, confined to barns or chained in pastures, Laughlin said Thursday. He\u2019s not sure why they were abandoned \u2014 maybe there wasn\u2019t time for their owners to load them into the trailer or cut their lines loose \u2014 but this cowboy is willing to do it for them. He has five horses of his own, and the thought of losing them almost brings him to tears.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat kind of person would I be if I didn\u2019t save them?\u201d said Laughlin, who lives in Simi Valley.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s one of the best-known horse rescuers in the county. His phone number is posted Facebook pages and on the Southern California Equine Evacuation group\u2019s website. His iPhone is constantly ringing. When he gets an address, he goes. The firefighters are usually happy to see him. The police \u2014 not so much.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow come I always see this pick-up truck places where it isn\u2019t supposed to be?\u201d a California Highway patrolman asked him at one stop. Laughlin shrugged. He usually doesn\u2019t brake at the barricaded roads to talk to law enforcement. He just rolls on through.<\/p>\n

Laughlin can placate even the most skittish of horses, coaxing them into his trailer with sugar cubes or a rope wrapped like a wedgie around their backside. He grew up riding horses in a dusty Central Valley town called Alpaugh. Now he runs a business training them on his ranch \u2014 when he\u2019s not running into flames to rescue other people\u2019s livestock all over the state.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Sometimes he\u2019s too late, or just not in the right place at the right time \u2014 like in Sylmar on Tuesday, where about 30 horses were burned to death in their stalls as flames roared over them.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Laughlin got stuck in traffic with a trailer of horses on his way to Burbank. That took a couple of hours, he said. \u201cNot much sleep these days,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

When there is a lull in a fire, he crashes on a mattress in the back of the trailer. He hides his matted hair with a trucking supply company baseball cap. Sometimes, if it\u2019s convenient, he spends the night in Woodland Hills with his girlfriend.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not uncommon for the horses\u2019 owners to offer him their spare bedroom, their washing machine \u2014 he smells like horses, too \u2014 or a hot meal. If not, he eats power bars and peanut butter pretzels and wears the same singed blue flannel shirt and blue jeans.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, he waited outside a small ranch in Ojai. The fire was still burning up in the hillsides, back where many horse corrals were. A small teddy bear \u2014 he calls it his safety bear \u2014 was tucked on his dashboard. It\u2019s really there to stop a broken part of his dashboard from jangling, or so he says.<\/p>\n

The sky was choked with smoke, and Laughlin checked his phone. While the bucolic city was largely spared that day by the Thomas Fire, he was expecting rescues to happen in Carpenteria as the Santa Ana winds pushed flames north.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cWhen horses are in danger, it\u2019s up to me to help,\u201d he said. \u201cPeople know who I am.\u201d<\/p>\n

His phone rang. Another rescue. He climbed in the truck and drove away, dust barreling behind him.<\/p>\n
