Firefighter’s selfie wins the Internet

Tired, dirty, but safe — and still smiling.

San Marcos firefighter Tim Bergon has been battling California’s wildfires, which have consumed more than 35 square miles.

Bergon took a picture of himself and his crew to show his wife he was safe. Despite the challenges, he appears to be in good spirits.

Plan 9 Alehouse posted the picture to Facebook with a simple message: Thank you!

Bergon’s photo quickly captured the hearts of those who saw it.
