Fire Fighters on the front lines along Doe Mill Ridge. A DC-10 is used to fight the Humboldt Fire in Northern California. By day three the fire scorched the entire canyon shown in this video and beyond.The inmates in the orange along with CalFire put it all on the line and took big risk protecting structures.If the fire started a few more miles east on Highway 32 the strong winds would have pushed the fire south through the town of Paradise,which would have been catastrophic. In times of elemental crisis there are no heroes only survivors.
