Julie Padelford and Rampage are part of a California Task Force the Oakland Fire Department coordinated."I've worked fires before. This is the hottest fire I've ever seen. They were estimating that the fire was 2,500 degrees or hotter. We cremate people at 1,400 degrees so you can see what the difference there was," Pedelford said."The dogs were very successful in what they can do.
"You put it away when you're working because we have a job to do. And the dogs, that's their job- and it's our job to keep the dogs up and moving and if we get depressed, it goes right down the leash so you have to be in work mode," Pedelford said."I love working with the dogs, I love trying to figure out what they're telling us - they're the smart ones. We're trying to catch up to what they're telling us and figure it out," Pedelford said.
