Men with dogs on leashes search the woods as riders on horseback ride beside them. Creative camera angles were also employed to enhance the severity of the blaze and make the horses and riders appear closer to the flames than they actually were. The house fire was contained and never close enough to harm the animals.

In addition, the specially-made torches ensured that the flames were controlled and never would touch the animals or human actors. For this intense scene, all of the horses and riders in this scene were experienced. Later, several men on horseback ride carrying torches. The rattle snake that is coiled up and strikes at the end of this scene was also filmed separately under the watchful eye of its trainer.
