Wildlife Waystation Fire Evacuation

Sylmar (myFOXla.com) - The Wildlife Waystation, a home for numerous exotic animals, is being evacuated as the gigantic Station Fire advances toward its location in the wilderness north of Los Angeles.

You can watch Michael Brownlee's report in the video player.

Founder Martine Collette said evacuations of the animals began on Sunday and up to 275 were being evacuated Monday.

Dozens of horse trailers and other heavy vehicles were arriving by the minute at the remote reserve on a two-lane road, even as aircraft bombed the advancing front of the fire on mountains a few valleys to the east.

The waystation is home to lions, tigers, leopards, mountain lions, wolves and bears and even more exotic animals such as ostriches.

Collete says the animals are being taken to the Los Angeles Zoo and other facilities.
