The terrified animals could be heard squealing as they were taken to safety while their mothers sniffed around in the snow.

Firefighters were seen lining up in a row and passing one animal to each other while other workers doused the flames.

The fire is believed to have broken out in a one-story building in the Chernaya Rechka village in Siberia, Russia.
