Definitely can get serious quick, we were fairly lucky as the evacuation started earlier enough there were very few fatalities.

That’s the really scary part, It starts as a slow moving smoke plume but once you start to see flames you know it’s picked up enough momentum to cover ground quicker than you can run on foot! All it takes is a slight change in wind and previous evacuation paths can be cut off in minutes, then you get the crazy lightning storms caused by the fire itself starting even more fires elsewhere quickly it can get out of hand.

Takes a lot of nerve to do what those firefighters do even to think of recording is pretty amazing, tons of respect for the individuals risking their lives!
