Hey guys, we got a couple down trees these winds on row road.
That's row road, so just watch out for power lines too.
All right, face out.
Hey, Kevin, the mechanic's in this morning, so I want you to get 963
serviced when you get back.
Well past 3k limit.
And I want you to stick around, watch him do his checks.
It's going to take a couple hours, but it's stuff you got to know.
All right.
Thank you, sir.
Fire Rescue.
Yeah, hey, I'm out on Highway 70 by the pole Bridge.
It looks like some sort of a grass bar on the west side of the canyon.
That is really blowing out here.
Okay, Highway 70 near Poker Bridge.
Hold on one moment for me, sir.
Okay, I think I see what you're seeing.
Thank you for the report.
We will get the fire department on the way.

Let's go, let's go, let's go.
Five more minutes.
I had breakfast.
It.
It's
gotta be a failed cable right underneath those towers.
Now getting to it is going to be the problem.
What about there? Do we even get our rigs in there? It's fine, but let's put
a shot.
Can't talk right now.
I'll call you right back.
Thank you.
Have a great day.
Watch out on this side.
The road can't take the weight.
Yeah, I see that.
2176, 2161.
Be careful on the right.
Next little safety.
Copy that, captain.
All right.
Heavy smoke ahead.
I don't know about this, Cap.
Let's stick with it.
Let's knock this thing out before it becomes something.
Emma, I've been trying to get a hold of you.
Sean's throwing up.
He's really down.
Fell.
Does he have a fever? I don't know.
He's in the bathroom.
963 base call.
Can you read? Hang on a second.
Mom. Base, it's 963.
Have you completed drop off yet? Yes, boss.
Drop off complete.
Bring her on in then.
The mechanic's waiting for you.
Okay. Just need to fuel up first.
You're meant to do that before pickup, 963.
Copy that, boss.
Do the best I can.
I will be in as soon as I fuel up.
Okay. 963 out.
Yeah, Ma, did you attempt the temperature I'm looking for? The thermometer
should be in the first aid kit.
It's not there.
How about under the kitchen, you think? Try there, Ma.
Got to pull in to fuel up.
Call you right back.
Okay. Okay.
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
I. I got him.
I got him.
2161, I got a visual.
Blowing southwest under the power line's got to be about 100 acres.
Hey, I don't know about this.
We don't have an escape route.
We're close.
Let's stick with it.
Okay, Cap, there's no way we're getting up there.
Gotta Turn around.
Find an alternative strike for this route's no good, Cap.
Come on.
It's okay.
Okay. Or going to 2161.
2161. We can't reach it down here.
It's too dangerous.
We're gonna head back up the ridge and see if we can find a new strike
point. Copy that.
ICP is being established at Scooters on Highway 70.
Resources I mount.
Come on,
let's go.
Okay, what do we got? Okay, fire started about right here.
All right.
We think it's about 2 to 300 acres.
So it's sitting about like that.
The really strong east wind pushed it down canyon.
The trouble gap.
Engines tried to make access lost Fan creek road.
They couldn't do it.
Just got too narrow, too steep.
They backed out.
They are now coming up over the ridge and they're trying to make access down
from the top.
Have any other engines deployed? Yeah, we've got five additional strike
teams en route.
How be that? Any communities threatened? Yeah, we got polga a mile west.
This is an old gold rush post.
It's uninhabited.
Then we got concow.
Okay, so this is a good couple miles away.
It's well clear of the fire.
Trailers and cabins mostly.
800 people.
Retirees, pot smokers, homesteaders, that kind of thing.
Let's issue an evac warning just in case.
Okay. What about paradise, chief? It's like eight miles away on the other
side of the canyon.
Population is about 27,000.
I don't think it's an issue.
They should be fine.
Yeah. Huh.
One. One what? 11.
No, no, no, no.
Look, it can't be 111.
That's impossible.
111. He'd be dead.
Number one.
Well, I can't read these numbers.
They're so tiny.
Have Sean read it for you, please.
Sean, you there? 1o.1.
John, get on the phone, will ya? So he's got his temperature.
He doesn't want to talk to him.
He says he'll speak to you later.
He probably just needs his mom.
I'm sure he does need his mom.
Huh? He's sick, but he's here with his dad.
He's got me and he's got you.
Listen, ma, I can't talk right now.
I gotta get the bus to the depot.
I'll swing by the drugstore, get Sean's medicine.
Be home as soon as I can at to work.
Okay. You been able to get camp? I see.
Or we're getting unconfirmed reports of another fire in that area.
Orville Camp.
Ic. Go ahead.
What's the location Camp.
I see Orville.
We're unsure.
There's a lot of smoke in the area and we have a couple cameras down, But I
believe it to be off rim road north of Konow.
Orville, camp.
I see.
Copy. What do you think? That's a second start or a spot? We're three miles
away. I don't know how the heck that would be a spot fire.
That's a long ways from the original fire.
Okay, so chief, I think we've got two fires,
power lines down in that area.
The PGA linemen are here.
Do you want them to wait? No, I want to talk to them.
The hell are you guys doing? Got two fires.
Now I need all your lines in the area shut down right away.
Before I get any more fires.
We had red flag warnings last night.
You guys knew about this? Why didn't you shut it down then? Look, we'll get
our people down to the substation to shut it down.
We'll get up to the transmission tower to secure the down lines.
Got two fires.
Now it's on your headquarters.
It wasn't your fault.
Let's get this taken care of.
Messina. Messina.
Send five additional strike teams to this new start topping this Priority
traffic, Camp IC, Utility 2136.

blowing in out here.
Are you sure about that in Konkow? That's affirmative.
I'm driving through it now.
We've got a hamburgers falling around structures.
Let's jump the box.
Rexon, we've got a spot fire.
We're actually multiple spots.
Look out.
One, two, three big ones.
Rapid right is spread.
I'm losing festability facts.
That's a hell of a distance for a spread.
It's got to be at least five miles.
They said power lines.
No, no, no.
I guarantee the power's already off up in Concal.
I mean, that's a lot of distance cover.
It's one fire.
No, it's one fire.
No, that would be impossible for it to move that way.
All one damn fire.
Chief, if we got one fire, you're looking at our perimeter about like that.
Okay, let's send resources to concow.
Air tankers, engines, give him what he needs.
Copy. You got that? Okay, so if we've got fire in Concow, we have to change
that evac warning to an order.
Do IT Copy.
New containment lines, Jordan Hill Road.
All drivers this space, listen up.

Well, was he? Was he what? Was he cutting class? No, it's my mistake.

I just picked up some medicine.
I'll. I'll.
I'll get it to you as soon as I get home after work, all right? I need you
to do me a favor.
I did fire out in Concow.
I don't think it's anything to worry about.
But just in case, turn on channel seven.
So you keep an eye on it, okay? I don't.
Don't want Grandma to worry.
You know how she gets worried, huh? All right, buddy.
I'll see you after work.
Hope you're feeling better.
ORVILLE CAMP I see.
We got to get people moving.
Alert town hall.
Issue mandatory evacuation warning for zones 3, 8, 14 East Paradise.
Anything east of Pence Road.
Estimate about 4,000 residents.
We stay focused, we have a plan.
We stick to it.
Okay? Yes.
I. I've got it.
All right.
They've issued an evacuation order.
Phone lines are down.
Come on.
All right, give me those zones.
3, 8, and 14 East paradise only.
It won't go through.
It didn't send.
Okay. Go on.
Camp Air ATTACK CAMP I see.
I need air support in the canyon now.
We need you to buy us some time.
Chiefs. Look at that fire pumping out towards Paradise.
CAMP BY SEA CAMP IRAQ we are having zero impact.
The fire is spotting onto the western side of the canyon.
Wind speed is a real problem.
I see.
Copies. We need outside resources.
Requesting 50 additional strike teams, immediate need camp.
I see a little copies that's going to be extended, sir.
Minimum two to three hours.
Chief, if we don't get resources into paradise now, we're going to lose this
thing. It's going to be too late.
We're going to lose our air support.
Too dangerous to fly in these conditions.
There's no way they're going to continue in this wind.
Okay, Mary's Class, sit down.
Class. We don't all need to look out the window.
It's just another brush fire, Nothing new.
Come sit down.
Take out a book.
You know what we're doing.
Still no evacuation order.
I'm not waiting.
Okay, let's just get everyone out of here in the home as quickly as we can.
Okay? I'll send an email to parents.
If any of your students have phones or know their numbers, get the parents
to collect.
Okay, but.
But some of my kids have parents work out of town and the parents will never
get here in time.
What do we do about those kids? Okay, I'm sure they're gonna have an
alternative collection of one.
So let's just gather together to students who can't be collected and I'll
just keep trying to.
Thank you.
Echo, do you know your mom's phone number? Uh huh.
You do? Great.
Okay, hold on one second.
I'm gonna ask you to write it down.
Who else knows their mom or dad's phone number? Yeah, you said you'd call me
back. I'm sorry, I got distracted.
Look, I don't want to argue.
I'm tired of the same fight every week.
We don't need to argue.
Linda, there's nothing to argue about, okay? I didn't realize our son was
sick. It's an honest mistake, right? You don't need to get involved.
Then why is he calling me? I don't know.
Linda, he's 15.
Got in a fight with his dad and he's calling his mom.
Don't make this a bigger deal than it is.
I'm dealing with it.
Base 963, what is your location? 963, ETA 10 minutes.
The traffic's backed up over here.
Face it, Kevin, you're just unreliable.
No, no, I'm not doing this right now.
I'm not gonna sit here and go over all the ways that I screwed up with you.
Listen, it's been tough lately.
Dad dying.
Don't use your dad as an excuse.
The funeral was four months ago and you barely spoke to him for 20 years.
He ruined your life.
That's what you told me.
That's bullshit, Linda, that's bullshit.
That's a low blow.
I'm sorry.
That wasn't nice.
It's just the first weekend I've been away with anyone since week.
You know what I mean?
Can you turn the radio down? I can.
Can barely hear me.
All I'm saying is I know it's been hard for you.
But you got to think about Sean.
He looks at you and all he sees is fine.
What does he say when he looks at me? Don't make me say it, Kevin.
No, go ahead, say it.
Say it.
You know what I mean.
Say it.
There's a reason why your life is a mess and Sean doesn't want to be with
you.
I gotta go
face to all drivers.
We're having issues with the comms over here.
Is everybody hearing me?
Hey, hey, Sean, hey, it's dad.
Listen, I need to know you're okay, buddy.
I. Call me back here.
Get me these messages, please.
I gotta run.
I gotta run the bus at the depot so we can buy maintenance for a couple
hours, you know?
You know what? I'm coming home right now.
Everybody coming home right now.
Got your medicine on me.
I'll be there 20 minutes max.
Hey, all drivers, this is Bas.
This is an important update.
We are now evacuating east paradise only.
East paradise, zones 3, 8 and 14.
That is 3, 8 and 14 only.
Any driver east of Clark all the way to Pants.
You need to evacuate that area immediately.
They're worried about the fire coming across the canyon from compound.
So if you have any children on board, you need to take them west all the way
out of town to the Chico Depot.
The evacuation muster point is Chico Depot.
Basically.
I'll be right back.
All right, so we got the evac order.
Apparently their system went down and they weren't able to get it out.
They want every student who hasn't already been collected to be taken over
to Paradise Elevation.
Okay, that's the new collection point.
That's where they're sending all the parents.
Okay, well, we have 23 kids without transport, so how are we going to get
them there? I can take four in my car.
Okay, I didn't drive, so I can't help at all.
No, no, we cannot get them there by ourselves.
We don't have enough cars.
They need to send us a yes.

I recognize the urgency of our situation, and it's.
Mary, not now.
What's up? If you have a horn, if you have a backpack, put it on top.
Okay? It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's just a fire engine in the sky.
Use your backpacks.
Okay? All right.
Find a seat on the bus day.
Quietly, calmly, one single line, not to quickly take your time.
Isaac, free to base.
We loading the kids with the bus now.

when I get there.
I've got my own family I got to get home to.
Okay? We got to come.

I have to go with him.
It's fine.
I. I'll get a ride.
One of the teachers there.
Here, take the evac road, okay? Lock a blow.
All right, I'm hearing you.
I'm coming.
We're good.
We got all the bus.
We're gonna be there.
It's gonna take 10 minutes.
Did you see those fire engines?
Okay, here.
Disclose evac route.
We are the east line.
So we're gonna stay on Pence all the way down and then head a right on
Pearson to get us to paradise.
I don't think it's a good idea.
Look at it.
There's a better way out.
But that's the plan.
So we're gonna stick to the plan.
Whatever you say, Deech.
Let's total gridlock.
Look how tight those roads are right now.
It's got to be at least 15 miles of traffic trying to get to Chico.
Chief will arrive at the fairgrounds.
Mandatory evacuation of the hotel, all zones, effective immediately.
Jeep decay.
Do it.
It'll be chaos.
We're talking 26000 people.
If you get everyone moving out of town, you're never going to get drained.
It's in.
They're not listening.
The fire's coming across the canyon.
I've seen it with my own eyes.
He's moving fast.
Here's the choice.
Lost the system or play by the book and everybody dies.
You want that on your conscience? Chief, we got the team ordered early for
you. Copy.
All right,
Chief, mark Rogers and PG&E.
My team here from headquarters.
We're available.
Just get the power up and the town will take care of the rest.
Yeah, okay.
Listen, you got to give the Chief some space.
We will come to you in a second.
We're available.
Need us? It's your mandatory evac order for the entire town.
Base to 179.
179, are you clear? Are you out of East Paradise? 179? Great.
Who's left? Left.
963 is the only one left.
That's all.
Base to 963.
Base to 963.
Are you out of East Paradise? 963 to base.
Do your read.
Don't be scared that fire trucks are responding to fire.
They're doing their job.
Anybody? You're keeping us safe.
Okay, we are on P.
It is backed up.
Going nowhere.
963, come in please.
Can you try his mobile?
Why does he have to be the last person? I'm out of there.
I swear to God.
963Debates. Do you read? Let me know if you're getting this over.
Do you have any safety 50 protocols on this bus? Yep.
You got this? You got that? Great.
Yeah. That'll make all the difference.
So you're new here? I just came back a few months ago.
Grew up here.
Oh, what's that like? Not where I thought.
Be at 44.
How long do you think this is going to take? Hard to tell.
Would have left the school on time with a slow played meal.
It'll take about 10 minutes, but now it's looking more like 2030.
We'll get there when we get there.
Okay, kitties, let's raise some of these windows so the smoke doesn't get
in. Hi, this is Bar Bam.
This is Ruby Bishop at PUA sd.
I've lost all radio communication and I have a lost bus.
It's number 963.
It's over somewhere in East Paradise.
Please let me know if your engines see him.
Thank you.
Okay. Okay, okay.
963, do you read? Kevin, can you.
Can you hear me? This is basically Benjamin and you're in Ms.
Christy's class.
That's right.
Kevin, what are you doing? The P over to Clark.
It runs parallel.
Found any movies better than this? That's not the plan.
The plan? What was the plan, G? You know what? I can stay right here in the
middle of the traffic.
Jenny, with that.
Stay here.
No, let me drive.
What the hell is your problem? You see that fire? It's on the 4th of July.
Okay. All right.
Sit down.
If I.
You about take a hard left down, everybody.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Hold on.
Oh, my God.
Hold on.
Jesus Christ.
Clear. Everyone okay?
We're okay.
Traffic is moving.
Can you please ask before you do something like that again? You want to get
there quicker or you want to go by the book? We have to be responsible.
Yep. And I think that means getting these kids to their parents as soon as
possible, don't you?
I'm not getting anything.
Kevin, come in, please.
Yes, this is a code red alert.
Evacuate all zones immediately.
I got to go.
I got to get the power off.
I'm getting my guys out of here.
Okay? Okay.
Okay. Take my keys.
Okay.
963, do you read?
So I bet you.
You always lived here? Yeah, born and raised.
Never was really nice being.
Why'd you come back? My dad died a few months ago.
Sorry. Nah, it's fine.
We weren't close.
So you staying? For now.
What about you? You got a family? Yeah.
Married 19 years.
How paradise.
Poster family too, huh? Yeah, one kid, Jake, he's 15.
I was gonna go get him, but
I didn't realize how.
It's fine.
My sister will have gone for him.
His dad's out of town.
It'll be fine.
We're gonna drop the kids off and then I'll go find them.
All right, guys.
Happy dinner.
Yes. That's okay.
We always see our parents.
We're just trying to get you to safety as soon as we can, okay? Yes,
sweetie, we're gonna be there as soon as.
Do you want to sit in front?
Kevin, if you can hear me, they're evacuating the whole town and emergency
services are must be 15 miles away at Chico fairgrounds where it's safe.
Do not drop those kids off.
Just take them and come to Chico, okay?
Ruby, we're out of time.
We gotta go again.
My guy's out of here.
Hey, Ruby.
Kevin, if you can hear me, I will see you in Chico, okay? Be careful.
Basically. Come on.
Chief, the fire is spreading fast through east paradise and it just got work
for Division Hotel.
You got a working fire in the cardiology of Feather River Hospital.
It's well established in the attic.
You got about 15 to 20 patients are outside right now.
We're working on getting them out.
Whatever you can in there and say the hospital or push medics and we need
help. Chief, air attack has grounded all aircraft.
Now I'll get you an update as soon as I can, but right now, nothing goes in
the air.
Nothing. God damn it.
Where are we with the evacuation rooms? Are the traffic moving? You can see
right now the fires across from Clark Road.
They're getting impacted by fire.
Pence Road is gridlock.
Skyway is still open.
It's moving slow.
But what about all these abandoned cars? We're having major access issues.
Any vehicle blocking traffic pushed off the road.
Okay, get dozers in there if you have to.
Got it.
You can't lose those four roo outs.
We lose.
Not this.
Game over.
Everybody listen up.
Listen up.
This is no longer a wildland fire.
This is burning home to home.
This is a town fire.
This is a mass casualty incident.
That's what we're dealing with.
So stay on with your people and do the best you can.
Hey, what's on up? Got a roadblock up ahead.
The freeways jam.
Where do you need to get to after we drop off the kids? Magalia.
My son's up there with his grandma.
I don't want to be coming straight home.
Well, they'll get the evacuation alerts, won't they? You signed up for them,
right?
You know, I.
I kept getting the not notifications from town hall.
I just kept putting it off.
Well, can his grandma drive? Nope.
There we go.
There you smoke coming from the house.
Fire on the left.
Fire on the left.
Watch down.
Stay away from the windows.
Everybody stay out of the window.
Mommy, I got kids on the box.
Hey, calm.
Kevin's time to get over.
Mary, take a seat.
Keep seat.
Tension you to drive.
I need you to drive the bus.
I got clear traffic in the left lane.

It's easy.
Okay? Yes, you do.
Hold the brake and I say come on.
Come on.
Okay,

Hey, people going.
What's going on? What are you doing? People dropped on pants.
Don't speak about priorities over there.
I have 22 kids on that bus.
I got to get them to the parents.
Okay, hold traffic here so we can come through.
I got to clear this traffic to let the fire truck through.
The radio call back up are down.
They've been down for about 40 minutes or so.
Get back in your car.
Get you through my Chad.

Go left.
I gotta get the fire truck in this bus through first.
Go. Go

Keep up.
Go. Go.
Come on.

I don't want to hit you.
Are we going to be okay?
Come on.
Peace. Yes.
What was wrong? Radios are down.
Chaos.
Minute out.
Minute out.
Minute out.
Are we ready? We're one minute out from drop off.
One minute out from drop off.
Nice driver.
Thanks. Not so bad for yourself.
You could always be a traffic cop.
Maybe you're looking for a fresh start.
I take a hard pass on that.
Hey, kids.
Get your things ready.
Be ready to get off the bus.
I'm gonna get you to your parents as quickly as we.
Where are they?
Go see if anybody's there.
They're not here.
There's no one here.
I don't know why they didn't warn us or what do we do? I don't know.
We gotta get out of here.
We gotta get these kids out of here.
Try to get them down to the main evac center in Chico and then we can come
back for our kids.
I'm coming.
I'm coming.
Sit down.
I think I need you.
What's wrong with Ava? She won't come from under her seat.
What? She's on the floor? Yes, she is.
Why? What's wrong with her? She's scared.
Ava? Honey? No.
What? What? What are you doing down there? Are you okay? No.
Okay. There we go.
Yeah. Good to go.
Okay.
Are you scared? Yeah.
I know.
I'm scared, too.
Can I give you a hug?
Come on.
You got 27,000 people in Paradise, 12,000 in Magalia.
You got maybe 8,000 people evacuated, which means you've got about 30,000
people left in the footprint of the fire.
Come here a second.
Update the infrastructure.
What are we doing now? So infrastructure Chief, we got multiple schools in
the town here.
We have two that are being impacted immediately along.
Along Pence Road.
I also have a report that a school bus came out of Ponderosa elementary with
22 kids on it.
It's on accounting for right now.
Keep me updated on that.
We also have multiple gas stations.
We have two propane facilities.
One at Skyway between Pence and Clark and another one in Miguel.
You shut him down.
I'll work on it.
Part of the evacuation problem.
Power lines are coming down.
They cannot get across the road.
Firefighters are cutting them right now to open it up.
But we're getting reports.
PG&E. We're getting reports of active power lines.
PG&E. I thought the power was off.
Yes. Tell them what's going on.
Why is the power on? Look, we got civilians driving across power lines.
We got firefighters cut lines and lines are still ar.
The power was off.
My power is off.
We have those manual switches that have to be done.
I don't give a.
I understand.
You know what's going on here.
Shut the power off.
What the is wrong with you? I got firefighters in there.
There's 30,000 people in there.
What the hell are we going to do? Fire's behind us.
We got to stop ahead of it.
Stay due southwest.
That clear Passion sky, that's our way out.
We stay under the fire, we get down to Chico.
From there, Pence and.
And Clark are out.
So that means Neil and Skyway.
Yeah, Neil is the furthest away, but maybe that's good.
Maybe there's less traffic there.
You have to take row road to get to Neil.
It's narrow, it's full of 180 degree turns.
It's not built for a 35,000 pound bus.
We get trapped down there, there's no way out.
I mean, that religious leaves us Skyway, right? It's.
It's wide, four lanes straight.
Let's try Skyway.
Skyway. You don't know who they are, do you? What, honey? Our parents.
You don't know who they are? No, honey, we don't.
But we're going to find them.
We're going to find their parents.
Right, Kev? Yeah.
We're going to find them.
Yeah. I need you to take your seat, sweetie.
You wanna sit down up here? Have a seat here.
Yeah, this is fine.
What's your name? Toby.
Parents work out of town? My mom does.
I don't see my dad.
I'll tell you what, Toby.
Going to get you back to your mom, hear me? Going to get you back to your
mom. Get you back to your son.
We're going to get them back to mine.
That's what's going to happen.
Okay,
so Chief, the fire is spreading through most of Paradise.
Both business and residential areas.
And we're getting reports of significant structure loss and air attack is
still grounded with no eta.
Copy that.
I've checked in Wood Division.
Last report of that bus was coming down Clark Road, south of Elliot.
Okay. I just got word from Division Hotel that Paradise elementary is well
involved in fire.
They're not there.
Mary, you see these cables? Yeah.
Watch out.
Power line on the right.
Whole road's coming down.
Oh my God.
It's falling.

We can make it down here.
Kids, hold on.
Hold on.
Do something.
Hang on.
We gotta get off, find our way to row.
Try and make our way out on Neil.
That's our only chance right now.
How are we gonna look for a way off? Left or right? I'm looking.
I'm looking.
I don't see anything.
There's no way out.
I don't see.
It's everywhere.
It's all around us.

It must be inside the smoke column.
Yeah, yeah, I see
Metal Creek Park.
There's the back exit.

Slowly try to slow down your breathing.

Hello, everyone.
If I could get y' all in, my name is Ruby Bishop.
I'm the school director of transportation, and I just want to give you an
update. I know y' all are worried, but I want you to know first and foremost
that your children were evacuated from Ponderosa elementary this morning.
Okay? Unfortunately, shortly after leaving the school, the fire destroyed
our radio communications, and we have not had contact with the bus since it
left Ponderosa.
You don't know where they are? All I know is that they are probably
somewhere over in East Paradise.
East paradise is on fire.
I know, but I want you to know that both police and fire command are looking
for them out there.
Okay? They're doing their best, but you must know that your children are on
the bus with a driver and a teacher named Mary Ludwig.
Some of you may know, Mrs.
Ludwig. Okay, which.
Which driver is it? Yes, his name is Kevin McKay.
He's a new driver to our.
Listen, everybody, please, please.
I know.
I know this is really difficult.
Kevin McKay.
I can vouch for Kevin McKay, as can all of My drivers.
He's a good thing and he is going to do everything he can.
You have to trust him.
I trust him.
And right now he is all we have got out there.
Okay,
this is it.
This railroad.
The fire's behind us.
Okay, a couple of miles on this should get us out towards Neil.
Okay. Okay.
Rocks on the right.
Rocks on the right.
Push the left.
There's a drop off.
We're gonna be okay, guys.
You don't need to worry.
We're gonna get through this.
Okay?
There. What do I have over there? Four feet.
Two, Maybe two and a half.
Chief, our fire in U Cree canyon and our fire in the west branch have merged
in Paradise.
It's burning aligned with the wind burning to the southwest portion of
Paradise. The only area that hasn't burned and the fire is heading in this
direction is this area right here, Foster Road, row road.
Hey, these are tight roads.
A lot of structures in there.
It's all downhill.
You've got numerous spot fire is being recorded down here already.
This area is going to be fully engulfed in fire very soon.
We have got zero resources to put down here.
They're all engaged up here.
Whatever's down here, they're going to have to figure out for themselves how
to get out of Paradise.
We've got nothing to give them.
Absolutely nothing.
Those people,
what are they doing? Why are they going back towards the fire?
Hey. Hey.
Stop. Stop.
Come around this side.
Is there a way out down there? No.
This fire spreading all across the range.
People are dying down there.
Do not go that way.
The trailer park, everything is burning.
Everything. There's no way out.
What the hell are we going to do? I just need to get to Neil Road.
No, you can't go to Neil Road.
It's on fire.
You don't want these kids to see what we just all.
Trust me.
Do not go that away.
Hey, we're going to take our chances.
Good luck.
What do we do? Why have we stopped? Okay, everyone, we just need to stay
quiet and calm, please.
And Kevin and I will figure this out.
Okay? I'm going to go have a look.
Check the trip fish r kids ready in case we have to get them off the bus.
Okay? Okay.
Okay. Okay.
Okay, kids, this is what I need for us to do.
I need us to stay quiet.
I need us to stay calm.
Kevin is going to check if it's okay for us to get off the bus.
In the meantime, I want you to grab your backpack and make a line in the
aisle. Slowly, quietly, as calmly as you can, please.
Okay? As soon as Kevin gets back, we're gonna file off, okay? We're gonna
stay really close.
You're gonna find someone's hand to hold, okay? Stay.
Get really, really close.
There he is.

Kevin and I are going to figure out what's.
What happened this around.
Oh my God.
There's nowhere to go.
What? No.
No, no, no.
It's impossible.

There's gotta be a way out.
Sandy, we're here.

There's Neil.
Okay, I saw it all from the ridge.
Okay. Fires alongside us here.
It's here, here and here.
We gotta stay here.
We have to stay in the box.
We're gonna stand the bus.
No, I understand.

We know.
No, we could go out on foot.
Those other people that went out on foot.
We could try on foot.
No way.
It won't last two minutes out there.
There's no way they won't last.
They won't last two minutes.
Would we stay? Urgent.
What are you.
Are we just gonna wait?
Hey, I don't know.
I didn't know we were the one place where the fire is not.
We're live right now and we got a little bit of time.
Stay. It's our only chance.
Are you sure?
What if the fire comes? What if the fire comes? Kevin,
what are we doing with the kids? If the fire comes, we have to stay on the
bus. Okay?
Okay. You're okay.
You're okay.
It.
Mary, I need your help.
We gotta buy some time.
I'm gonna cut my shirt into small pieces, all right? What are you doing?
Make some filters for their mouths.
Wet them with some water.
Soothe their throats.
Let's move the kids to the back of the bus away from me.
If you're advancing the tape as many advances I can.
Okay. Okay.
Chief, the water supply is failing.
We've got no pressure in the hydrants.
We are loosing this thing.
Can I tell you to you over here for a second? So we're going to rest for a
little bit.
And I want to move you to the back of the bus so that you're further away
from this smoke, okay? Honey, can we move to the back of this? All right.
That should help keep some of the smoke out.
Okay, so we're getting reports of people burning to Death in their cars.
And we've got hundreds of people running for their lives.
Lives on foot.
Okay, girls, we're gonna be there for a little while.
I want you to take this filter, put it over your mouth, your nose and
breathe, okay? And if we don't play this right, we're gonna wake up in the
morning to hundreds or, I don't know, even thousands of fatalities, okay? So
at this point, we can do one thing.
We can fight fire or save lives.
We are out of time.
I want you to put it over your mouth and your nose and breathe.
It's gonna help with the smoke, okay? Okay.
Yeah. How are you doing, sweetie? Thank you for taking care of her, sweetie.
Okay, listen up.
Cease all firefighting.
Get with your resources inside town and tell them to save lives wherever
they can.
That's all we can do now.
Copy that.
Sama,
I have to warn the kids.
Oh, no, no, I'm good.
I can do it.
I know you can't.
Rest a second.
I can do it.
Okay. Thank you.
Hey, guys, the walls and the windows are really hot, so don't touch them,
okay? I want you to come lean towards the aisle.
There we go.
Can you come and spend a bit? Floor is really hot too.
Let's do the.
What do you do? Story time.
Let's go.
Crisscross, Applesauce.
Say it with me.
Crisscross. That's it.
That's it.
That's it.
Good. Good job, buddy.
Okay. Is it night time? What was that, sweetie? Is it night time? No, that
was not nighttime.
All right? Just smoke is in between us and the sunshine, okay? Are we going
to be okay? Yeah, we are going to be.
Yes, we are.
The smoke's going to go away and the sun's going to come back out, okay?
Toby? You okay? I want my daddy,
Dad. I know you do.
He knows you do, too.
Okay, Listen, he's.
He's doing everything he can to get to you, okay? And he's trying his best,
okay? Toby, look at me.
How much time do we have? Another hour.
Maybe the filters won't last much longer.
Maybe we should just let them go to sleep.
It's better than if the fire comes.
No, no, no, no.
We can't let herself talk like that, okay? Okay.
Good afternoon.
I'm Chief Martinez.
At approximately 6:30am this morning, a fire was reported near the Boga
Bridge, eight miles east of Paradise.
The fire sprang rapidly, overwhelming our best efforts to contain it.
And at approximately 8:30am this morning, the fire entered the town of
Paradise. Unfortunately, moments ago, I was forced to give the order to
cease firefighting in paradise and focus solely on protecting life.
Right now, there are still thousands of residents trapped.
We're attempting to flee the fire.
And while we are doing everything we humanly can to assist them, despite our
best efforts, this community is facing the full force of the fire alone.
So we ask for your patience.
And I'll hand it over to Sheriff Thomas who may have more information for
you. We have to get back to work.
Thank you.
I just want to add one thing.
Every year, the fires get bigger and there's more of them.
We're being damn fools.
That's the truth.
Thank you.
This is gonna sound silly to you, but I've only ever left paradise one time.
How's that? To go to Ohio.
Two weeks on my friend's farm.
One time, Stephen and I did a weekend in San Francisco.
I thought that I'd be safe here.
Just stay in paradise, stay with him, follow the rules, and nothing bad
could truly happen.
But that's no way to live a life.
Hiding away, that's one thing I'd change.
If we get out of here, I'll take a trip.
Take Jake to Legoland or Africa maybe.
I don't know.
I would love to see elephants, animals and a watering hole.
Anything, really.
Just anything.
Before it's too late.
Why are you happy?
I spent my entire trying to escape paradise.
And now for some reason, all I want to do is go over there.
Why did you want to leave? You know, when I first got the call to go pick up
the kids, I started to think that maybe.
Maybe I could earn a second chance and just got the kids out safe.
Except they don't always work that way.
Second chances.
Why do you say that?
Last time I spoke to My dad was 28 years ago.
I was 16.
It was Christmas Eve.
We got into a fight.
Something about me not finishing what I started in some kind of shit.
Same fight it always was.
Anyway, he.
He came at me, you know, like he.
Like he usually had done so many times before.
And for whatever reason, I mean, this night I snapped when I was screaming
and swinging.
Next thing I knew, I slammed the front door and cursed his name.
Told him I never wanted to see him again.
He even said it, I wish you were dead.
First it was pride, you know? Then after a few years, my life going to shit
turned to shame.
A few months ago, I was.
I was working the night shift back in Reno.
And that's when I got the call.
It's my mom.
She said, you know, Captain, your dad's real Sick.
Neither Come home.
Troubles all night.
I was too late.
He died that morning.
It's too late as a son.
Now I'm too late as a father.
How many times my son's reached out to me?
It's not too late.
He's up to you.
This one?
Yes. It's out.
It's out.
It's out.
It's out.
Crowd is out.
Go back to the bus.
Go back to the bus.
Go back to the bus.
Where are you going? No.
No. Go.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
We gotta drive through it.
We gotta drive through it.
Sit down.
Sit down.
Watch right.
Come on.
No, no, no, no.
Come on.
Come on.
What? No.
No. Take the wheel.
It.
What are you waiting for? Let's go.
Luckily,
your phone's right there.
All right.
Thank you.
Thank you.
You did good.
You did really good.
Me too.
Send me a picture of those elephants, huh?
Oh, no.
Your children are amazing.
They were so great.
Hey, boss.
Time for maintenance.
Yeah. Probably will eat a little over time too, you know.
All right, man.
He's ready.
How are you? Good job.
Good job.
Thank you,
ma'. Am.
