Authorities share terrifying video of woman escaping California wildfires hoping people will heed evacuation warnings
Law enforcement authorities in California shared the terrifying footage hoping it will serve as a lesson to others about heeding evacuation warnings
A bone-chilling wildfire video was shared by California authorities on social media so as to urge residents to obey evacuation orders as soon as they are broadcasted.
Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Headquarters tweeted the frightening footage on Monday. It was recorded by Rebecca Hackett, who was desperately trying to save her life and escape from the raging flames of the Woolsey Fire in Southern California. "This very graphic video shows the dangers of a fast-moving fire and how important it is to leave affected areas after fire officials declare an evacuation order," the tweet read.
"The fire came so quickly," Hackett later said. "One minute it was calm and then suddenly they were on top of us," she said, according to the tweet.
