The two dogs pictured in the photos above were treated by firefighters and then taken to the vets. Sadly, a spokesperson from Devon & Somerset Fire & Rescue Service confirmed to Mashablethat one of the rescued puppies has since died.

"They weren't bad burns but was in a wide area and was just too much for such a little puppy," the owner of the farm, James Barter, was quoted as saying in the Torquay Herald Express. "I think of myself as fairly tough but I was pretty upset."

He went on to say that the surviving puppy seems to be doing fine.

"We have named it Blaze in honour of its miraculous survival," he said.
