(CNN) As Californians suffer the devastation caused by wildfires that have burned through more than 100,000 acres, one man braved the flames to save a wild rabbit and instantly became the hero we didn't know we needed. Video of the daring rescue shows a Ventura County highway near La Conchita engulfed in smoke and flames. But then, a wild rabbit darts across traffic and into the burning brush. A man, stopped on the road and wearing just shorts and a hoodie, races after him. The man clutches his head, jumps up and down, and paces anxiously, agonizingly trying to figure out how to rescue the creature from its burning habitat.
