An angry bull chased a crew of firefighters down a Los Angeles road while they were responding to the Lake Fire

• An angry bull chased several firefighters down a California road on Friday while they responded to the Lake Fire.
• The Ventura County Fire Department called the bull "Ferdinand," and said firefighters had been clearing the roads when the bull gave chase.
• No one was injured, and Ferdinand "went about his day," the fire department said.
• The 14,862-acre wildfire was burning near Lake Hughes, roughly 60 miles north of Los Angeles, and was just 12% contained as of Saturday night.

A group of first responders in Southern California fought off more than just the blaze from the Lake Fire on Friday.

The Ventura County Fire Department posted a video on Friday showing several of its firefighters sprinting down a road as a galloping bull with massive horns gave chase.

"Ferdinand the Bull wasn't clowning around when he chased FF's down the road," the fire department tweeted. "Crews were clearing the road so the engines could get to a clearing when they are chased out. Luckily no one was injured and #Ferdinand went about his day."

The crews had been in the area assisting the Los Angeles County Fire Department, and had seen the bull earlier that morning, Ventura County Fire Department spokesman Andy VanSciver told NBC News.

"The bull was in the bushes and came out to challenge the firefighters," he told the network. "Like, 'This is my dirt.'"

The 14,862-acre wildfire was burning near Lake Hughes, roughly 60 miles north of Los Angeles, and was just 12% contained as of Saturday night, according to the Los Angeles County Fire Department.

"Over one hundred lightning strikes caused spotting, which quickly spread the fire generating several large-scale fires that comprised current and proposed containment lines," the fire department tweeted.
