Burnover
One October 22nd, a dozen Orange County firefighters had to use their emergency shelters to survive the Santiago fire. The LA Times has put together a nice piece using some incredible photography and the actual radio calls to recount the event. While I am not a firefighter, I do know that deploying shelters is an absolute last resort. It means you can not get out of the way of the fire and often results in serious thermal burns or worse. These guys were incredibly lucky. Find it here. (Make sure to have your audio up.)
