When fires broke out across Los Angeles on Jan. 7, many residents rushed to evacuate in time, leaving behind their homes, possessions and, in some cases, pets. For others who were not at home when the mandatory evacuation warnings came into place, there was no chance to go back and rescue their pets. But one individual, Reggie Sully, with the help of the Beverly Hills Police Department (BHPD), made it his mission to save as many of these animals as possible as he embarked on two pet rescue missions.
Sully is a longstanding member of the Rotary Club of Beverly Hills and a Project Manager at Peter McCoy Construction in Beverly Hills. When he spoke to a friend, Barrett Carrere, who was distraught after leaving his cat behind, Sully knew there was something he could do to help. Roads were blocked, and residential access barred by the National Guard and police.
