These firefighters went to great lengths to save these piglets' bacon.

When a Siberian farm housing up to 200 pigs caught fire on Friday, Russian firefighters were quick to respond to the scene.

Firefighters could be seen carrying armfuls of tiny piglets from the blaze, and tossing them to safety as another team worked on putting out the fire, according to APTN footage.

The Russian Emergency Ministry reported most of the pigs got out safely, and no people were injured from the fire. Officials are still investigating the cause of the fire.
