Hey there. It's Ruby down at the bus yard.

Uh, I was just wondering if you knew
anything about the PG&E shutoffs.
55
00:05:02,010 --> 00:05:05,513
We got a Red Flag Warning, so I just need
to know if the schools are gonna close.

Yeah, I'll hold.

- About those additional shifts.

Um... [stammers] ...I could
sure use the extra this month.

I'm taking care of my mom.

Yeah, I just don't have
anything for you, Kevin.
63
00:05:19,820 --> 00:05:21,362
[stammers] Well, boss,
when I signed up, you said...
64
00:05:21,363 --> 00:05:22,947
I said maybe, yeah?
65
00:05:22,948 --> 00:05:26,075
And people that have been here longer,
the guys that have seniority,
66
00:05:26,076 --> 00:05:28,411

- Hey, buddy. Hurry it up.

176
00:12:00,387 --> 00:12:02,138
- Hey, Kevin.
- Hey, boss.
177
00:12:02,139 --> 00:12:03,472
[Ruby] Mechanic's in this morning,
178
00:12:03,473 --> 00:12:06,184
so I want you to get 963 serviced
when you get back.
179
00:12:06,185 --> 00:12:07,685
Well past three K limit.
180
00:12:07,686 --> 00:12:09,645
I want you to stick around,
watch him do his checks.
181
00:12:09,646 --> 00:12:12,315
It's gonna take a couple hours,
but it's stuff you gotta know.
182
00:12:12,316 --> 00:12:13,817
- All right?
- Copy that, boss.
183
00:12:14,526 --> 00:12:15,943
There's yesterday's time sheet.
184
00:12:15,944 --> 00:12:17,029
Thank you, sir.
185
00:12:18,405 --> 00:12:19,739
Pleasure doing business.
186
00:12:19,740 --> 00:12:20,824

[engine starts]
188
00:13:14,336 --> 00:13:16,128
- [dispatcher] Fire and Rescue.
- [driver] Yeah. Hey.
189
00:13:16,129 --> 00:13:18,382
I'm out on Highway 70 by the Pulga Bridge.
190
00:13:18,882 --> 00:13:21,634
Looks like some sort of a grass fire
on the west side of the canyon,
191
00:13:21,635 --> 00:13:23,302
and it's really blowing out here.
192
00:13:23,303 --> 00:13:24,929
Okay. Highway 70 near Pulga Bridge.
193
00:13:24,930 --> 00:13:27,014
Hold on one moment for me, sir.
194
00:13:27,015 --> 00:13:29,601
- [chattering on radio]
- [typing]
195
00:13:33,105 --> 00:13:34,857
Okay, I think I see what you're seeing.
196
00:13:35,399 --> 00:13:38,151
Uh, thank you for the report. We will get
the fire department on the way, okay?
197
00:13:46,243 --> 00:13:48,620
[firefighter] He's got...
He's got arms the size of your thighs.
198
00:13:49,329 --> 00:13:50,288
He's-He's like this.
199
00:13:50,289 --> 00:13:51,747
[firefighters laughing]
200
00:13:51,748 --> 00:13:54,167
[alarm blares]
201
00:13:54,168 --> 00:13:56,002
[dispatcher] Jarbo Gap. Vegetation fire.
202
00:13:56,003 --> 00:13:59,589
Engine 2161, Engine 2176,
reported vegetation fire
203
00:13:59,590 --> 00:14:01,507
at Highway 70 near the Pulga Bridge.
204
00:14:01,508 --> 00:14:02,593
Please respond.
205
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:07,597
Oroville, Engine 2161,
Engine 2176 responding.
206

[chattering]
207
00:14:08,724 --> 00:14:11,351
[firefighter 1] Up, Simbas!
Let's go, we got work...
208
00:14:12,603 --> 00:14:14,438
Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.
209
00:14:15,230 --> 00:14:17,232
[firefighter 2] Five more minutes,
I'd have breakfast.
210
00:14:22,946 --> 00:14:24,948

211
00:14:27,993 --> 00:14:30,329

- [student] Good Morning.
- Morning.

- [student 2] Good Morning.
- [student 3] Morning.

- [chattering on radio]
216
00:15:23,590 --> 00:15:25,175
Okay. Come on. Clear.
217
00:15:28,011 --> 00:15:30,013
[siren wailing]
218
00:15:48,782 --> 00:15:52,035
It's gotta be a failed cable.
Right underneath those towers.
219
00:15:54,371 --> 00:15:56,456
You know,
getting to it is gonna be the problem.
220
00:16:02,754 --> 00:16:03,755
What about there?
221
00:16:06,091 --> 00:16:07,759
Can we even get our rigs in there?
222
00:16:08,468 --> 00:16:10,219
It's tight, but let's give it a shot.
223
00:16:10,220 --> 00:16:11,929
All right. Let's back 'em up!
224
00:16:11,930 --> 00:16:13,557
- [firefighter 1] Let's move.
- [firefighter 2] Go.
225
00:16:25,694 --> 00:16:26,695
[phone ringing]
226
00:16:32,701 --> 00:16:34,785
[Kevin] Can't talk right now, Ma.
I'll call you right back.
227
00:16:34,786 --> 00:16:37,039
- [door opens]
- Okay. Let's go. Go.
228
00:16:38,916 --> 00:16:39,916
[student 1] See you later.
229
00:16:39,917 --> 00:16:41,168
- [student 2] Thank you.
- Bye.
230
00:16:44,755 --> 00:16:46,130
- [student 3] Thank you.
- [student 4] Bye.
231
00:16:46,131 --> 00:16:48,216
- [ringing continues]
- [student 5] Uh-huh, see ya.
232
00:16:48,217 --> 00:16:50,719
- [student 6] Thank you. Have a great day.
- Have a good day.
233
00:17:03,649 --> 00:17:05,816
[firefighter] Watch out on this side.
The road can't take the weight.
234
00:17:05,817 --> 00:17:06,817
Yeah, I see that.
235
00:17:06,818 --> 00:17:08,903
2176, 2161.
236
00:17:08,904 --> 00:17:11,655
Just be careful on the right.
Looks a little shaky.
237
00:17:11,656 --> 00:17:12,698
Copy that, cap.
238
00:17:12,699 --> 00:17:15,367
[wind whistling]
239
00:17:15,368 --> 00:17:16,953
[captain] All right. Heavy smoke ahead.
240
00:17:16,954 --> 00:17:18,203
[firefighter 2] Don't know about this.
241
00:17:18,204 --> 00:17:19,288
[captain] Let's stick with it.
242
00:17:19,289 --> 00:17:21,791
Let's knock this thing out
before it becomes something.
243
00:17:22,501 --> 00:17:23,918
[grunts] Geez.
244
00:17:23,919 --> 00:17:26,046
[phone ringing]
245
00:17:27,422 --> 00:17:28,256
Yeah, Ma.
246
00:17:28,257 --> 00:17:30,049
[on phone] I've been trying
to get a hold of you.
247
00:17:30,050 --> 00:17:31,801
Shaun's throwing up.
248
00:17:31,802 --> 00:17:33,511
He's really not well.
249
00:17:33,512 --> 00:17:34,763
Shit.
250
00:17:35,973 --> 00:17:38,516
Um, does he have a fever?
251
00:17:38,517 --> 00:17:40,352
I don't know. He's in the bathroom.
252
00:17:40,978 --> 00:17:42,520
[Ruby] 963, Base calling. Do you read?
253
00:17:42,521 --> 00:17:44,105
Ha-Hang on a second, Ma.
254
00:17:44,106 --> 00:17:45,940
Uh, Base, this is 963.
255
00:17:45,941 --> 00:17:47,900
[Ruby] Have you completed drop-off yet?
256
00:17:47,901 --> 00:17:49,819
[Kevin] Yes, boss. Drop-off complete.
257
00:17:49,820 --> 00:17:52,655
[Ruby] Bring her on in then.
The mechanic's waiting for you.
258
00:17:52,656 --> 00:17:54,283
Okay. Just need to fuel up first.
259
00:17:55,409 --> 00:17:57,744
You're meant to do that
before pickup, 963.
260
00:17:58,787 --> 00:18:00,538
[Kevin] Copy that, boss.
Doing the best I can.
261
00:18:00,539 --> 00:18:03,125
I will be in as soon as I fuel up, okay?
262
00:18:05,502 --> 00:18:06,419
963 out.
263
00:18:06,420 --> 00:18:08,754
Yeah, Ma.
Uh, did you, uh, take his temperature?
264
00:18:08,755 --> 00:18:10,756
[mother] I'm looking for the thermometer.
265
00:18:10,757 --> 00:18:13,092
It should be in the first aid kit. Um...
266
00:18:13,093 --> 00:18:14,261
It's not there.
267
00:18:15,304 --> 00:18:17,722
[Kevin] How about under the kitchen sink?
Try there, Ma.
268
00:18:17,723 --> 00:18:19,432
I've gotta pull in to fuel up.
269
00:18:19,433 --> 00:18:22,269
- I'll call you right back, okay?
- [mother] Okay.
270
00:18:24,104 --> 00:18:26,105
[Kevin] Come on, come on,
come on, come on, come on.
271
00:18:26,106 --> 00:18:28,650
[inhales sharply] Come on.
272
00:18:37,951 --> 00:18:39,995
All right, I-I got it. I got it.
273
00:18:40,704 --> 00:18:43,456
- Oroville, Engine 2161.
- [dispatcher] Oroville.
274
00:18:43,457 --> 00:18:44,665
I got a visual.
275
00:18:44,666 --> 00:18:46,876
Blowing southwest under the power lines.
276
00:18:46,877 --> 00:18:48,378
Gotta be about 100 acres.
277
00:18:49,463 --> 00:18:51,882
Hey, I don't know about this.
We don't have an escape route.
278
00:18:52,716 --> 00:18:54,468
[captain] We're close.
Let's stick with it.
279
00:18:57,137 --> 00:18:59,263
[firefighter] Look at it, cap.
There's no way we're getting up there.
280
00:18:59,264 --> 00:19:00,932
[captain grunts]
281
00:19:00,933 --> 00:19:02,100
We gotta turn around.
282
00:19:02,643 --> 00:19:04,394
Let's find an alternative strike point.
283
00:19:05,521 --> 00:19:06,688
This route's no good.
284
00:19:07,481 --> 00:19:08,565
Cap, come on.
285
00:19:09,107 --> 00:19:10,317
Okay.
286
00:19:11,068 --> 00:19:12,069
Okay.
287
00:19:13,570 --> 00:19:15,488
Oroville, Engine 2161.
288
00:19:15,489 --> 00:19:17,073
[dispatcher] 2161, Oroville. Copy.
289
00:19:17,074 --> 00:19:18,908
We can't reach it down here.
It's too dangerous.
290
00:19:18,909 --> 00:19:22,245
We're gonna head back up the ridge
and see if we can find a new strike point.
291
00:19:22,246 --> 00:19:25,873
[dispatcher] Copy that. ICP is being
established at Scooter's on Highway 70.
292
00:19:25,874 --> 00:19:27,124
Resources are out.
293

[horn honks]

00:19:29,628 --> 00:19:30,921
Come on.
295
00:19:33,924 --> 00:19:34,842
Let's go!

Respond to staging
at Scooter's on Highway 70.
301
00:20:10,043 --> 00:20:11,127

[chattering]
304
00:20:17,593 --> 00:20:19,343
- Okay, what have we got?
- [firefighter] Okay.
305
00:20:19,344 --> 00:20:22,514
Fire started about right here, all right?
306
00:20:23,557 --> 00:20:27,895
We think it's about two to three hundred
acres, so it's sitting about like that.
307
00:20:28,437 --> 00:20:31,606
A really strong east wind
pushed it down canyon.
308
00:20:31,607 --> 00:20:34,692
The Jarbo Gap engines tried to make
access across Camp Creek Road.
309
00:20:34,693 --> 00:20:36,861
They couldn't do it.
Just got too narrow, too steep.
310
00:20:36,862 --> 00:20:37,945
They backed out.
311
00:20:37,946 --> 00:20:39,864
They are now coming up over the ridge,
312
00:20:39,865 --> 00:20:41,991
and they're trying to make access
down from the top.
313
00:20:41,992 --> 00:20:43,492
Have any other engines deployed?
314
00:20:43,493 --> 00:20:47,205
Yeah. [stammers] We got five
additional strike teams en route.
315
00:20:47,206 --> 00:20:49,498
[chief] Copy that.
Any communities threatened?
316
00:20:49,499 --> 00:20:51,459
Yeah. We got Pulga a mile west.
317
00:20:51,460 --> 00:20:53,711
This is an old gold rush post.
It's uninhabited.
318
00:20:53,712 --> 00:20:55,004
And then we got Concow.
319
00:20:55,005 --> 00:20:58,674
Okay, so this is a good couple miles away.
It's well clear of the fire.
320
00:20:58,675 --> 00:21:01,802
Uh, trailers and cabins mostly.
Eight hundred people.
321
00:21:01,803 --> 00:21:04,305
Retirees, pot smokers,
homesteaders, that kind of thing.
322
00:21:04,306 --> 00:21:06,390
[chief] Let's issue
an evac warning just in case.
323
00:21:06,391 --> 00:21:08,309
- [firefighter 2] Okay.
- [chief] What about Paradise?
324
00:21:08,310 --> 00:21:11,103
[firefighter 1] Chief, it's eight miles
away on the other side of the canyon.
325
00:21:11,104 --> 00:21:13,022
Population's about 27,000.
326
00:21:13,023 --> 00:21:15,234
I don't think it's an issue.
They should be fine.

328
00:21:18,153 --> 00:21:19,820
- Yeah.
- [mother] Uh...

00:21:19,821 --> 00:21:20,906
- Huh?
- One.
330
00:21:21,406 --> 00:21:23,074
- One what?
- Uh... [stammers] ...11.
331
00:21:23,075 --> 00:21:26,536
No. No, no, no. Look, it can't be 111.
No, that's impossible.
332
00:21:26,537 --> 00:21:27,954
If it was 111, he'd be dead.
333
00:21:27,955 --> 00:21:28,871
- Pump 1.
- Pump number?
334
00:21:28,872 --> 00:21:30,998
[mother] I can't read these numbers.
They're so tiny.
335
00:21:30,999 --> 00:21:32,333
[Kevin] Have Shaun read it for you.
336
00:21:32,334 --> 00:21:35,044
- [mother] He's, uh...
- Shaun, are you there?
337
00:21:35,045 --> 00:21:37,213
- ...101.
- Shaun, get on the phone, will ya?
338
00:21:37,214 --> 00:21:41,009
So, he-he's got a temperature.
He doesn't want to talk, Kevin.
339
00:21:41,635 --> 00:21:43,553
He-he says he'll speak to you later.
340
00:21:43,554 --> 00:21:46,973
- He probably just needs his mom.
- I'm sure he does need his mom, huh?
341
00:21:46,974 --> 00:21:50,394
- He's sick, but he's here with his dad.
- [fire truck horn blares]
342
00:21:51,228 --> 00:21:52,980
He's got me, and he's got you.
343
00:21:54,064 --> 00:21:57,734
Listen, Ma, I can't talk right now.
I gotta get the bus to the depot.
344
00:21:58,277 --> 00:22:00,862
I'll swing by the drugstore,
get Shaun some medicine.
345
00:22:00,863 --> 00:22:03,031
I'll be home as soon as I can
after work, okay?
346
00:22:06,827 --> 00:22:07,910
[dispatcher] Camp IC, Oroville.
347
00:22:07,911 --> 00:22:10,998
We're getting unconfirmed reports
of another fire in that area.
348
00:22:11,498 --> 00:22:13,416
Oroville, Camp IC. Go ahead.
What's its location?
349
00:22:13,417 --> 00:22:15,042
Camp IC, Oroville. We're unsure.
350
00:22:15,043 --> 00:22:17,712
There's a lot of smoke in the area,
and we have a couple cameras down,
351
00:22:17,713 --> 00:22:20,673
but I believe it to be off Rim Road,
north of Concow.
352
00:22:20,674 --> 00:22:22,718
Uh, Oroville, Camp IC copies.
353
00:22:23,427 --> 00:22:25,845
What do you think?
That's a second start or a spot?
354
00:22:25,846 --> 00:22:27,180
[firefighter 1] We're three miles away.
355
00:22:27,181 --> 00:22:29,223
I don't know how the heck
that would be a spot fire.
356
00:22:29,224 --> 00:22:31,184
That's a long ways
from the-the original fire.
357
00:22:31,185 --> 00:22:32,268
[firefighter 2] Okay.
358
00:22:32,269 --> 00:22:34,729
- I think we've got two fires.
- Camp IC, we received a call
359
00:22:34,730 --> 00:22:36,647
from PG&E. They advised of a power outage
360
00:22:36,648 --> 00:22:39,108
approximately ten minutes ago
in the Rim Road area of Concow.
361
00:22:39,109 --> 00:22:40,484
- I believe this...
- So it was a power line then.
362
00:22:40,485 --> 00:22:43,905
...is gonna be related to your second start.
There are power lines down in that area.
363
00:22:43,906 --> 00:22:46,575
The PG&E linemen are here.
Do you want them to wait?
364
00:22:47,367 --> 00:22:49,036
- No. I wanna talk to them.
- Okay.
365
00:22:50,537 --> 00:22:53,373
The hell are you guys doing?
I got two fires now.
366
00:22:54,041 --> 00:22:56,210
I need all your lines
in the area shut down,
367
00:22:56,752 --> 00:22:59,086
right away, before I get any more fires.
368
00:22:59,087 --> 00:23:02,006
We had Red Flag Warnings last night.
You guys knew about this.
369
00:23:02,007 --> 00:23:03,758
Why didn't you shut it down then?
370
00:23:03,759 --> 00:23:07,136
Look, we'll get our people down
to the substation to shut it down.
371
00:23:07,137 --> 00:23:10,556
We'll get up to the transmission tower
to secure the downed lines.
372
00:23:10,557 --> 00:23:12,017
I got two fires now.
373
00:23:12,935 --> 00:23:17,021
It's on your headquarters. It wasn't your
fault, but let's get this taken care of.
374
00:23:17,022 --> 00:23:18,690
Messina. Messina.
375
00:23:19,525 --> 00:23:21,651
Send five additional strike teams
to this new start.
376
00:23:21,652 --> 00:23:23,236
[lieutenant] Chief, are you
copying this priority traffic?
377
00:23:23,237 --> 00:23:26,532
[person on radio] Camp IC,
Utility 2136. Priority traffic.
378
00:23:27,115 --> 00:23:29,575
Utility 2136, Camp IC. Go ahead.
379
00:23:29,576 --> 00:23:32,203
This is Engineer Hopkins on Utility 2136.
380
00:23:32,204 --> 00:23:34,039
I'm going off duty out in Concow.
381
00:23:34,581 --> 00:23:37,125
We've got a serious situation developing,
be advised.
382
00:23:37,751 --> 00:23:39,837
Heavy smoke
and embers blowing in out here.
383
00:23:40,379 --> 00:23:42,380
- Are you sure about that? In Concow?
- Concow?
384
00:23:42,381 --> 00:23:44,967
[Hopkins] That's affirmative.
I'm driving through it now.
385
00:23:45,509 --> 00:23:47,552
Uh, we've got embers
falling around structures.
386
00:23:47,553 --> 00:23:48,928
It's jumped the fucking box.
387
00:23:48,929 --> 00:23:50,972
[siren wailing]
388
00:23:50,973 --> 00:23:53,058
Correction. We've got a spot fire.
389
00:23:55,727 --> 00:23:58,146
[people screaming]
390
00:23:59,439 --> 00:24:01,315
Correction. Multiple spots.
391
00:24:01,316 --> 00:24:03,609
I count one, two, three, big ones.
392
00:24:03,610 --> 00:24:05,070
Rapid rate of spread.
393
00:24:05,821 --> 00:24:07,572
I'm losing visibility fast.
394
00:24:07,573 --> 00:24:09,991
That's a hell of a distance for a spread.
395
00:24:09,992 --> 00:24:11,325
Gotta be at least five miles.
396
00:24:11,326 --> 00:24:13,160
You think it's another set of power lines?
397
00:24:13,161 --> 00:24:15,913
No, no, no. I guarantee
the power's already off up in Concow.
398
00:24:15,914 --> 00:24:18,250
[firefighter] I mean,
that's a lot of distance covered.
399
00:24:26,091 --> 00:24:27,092
Messina.
400
00:24:28,051 --> 00:24:30,053
Listen to me. It's one fire.
401
00:24:30,804 --> 00:24:32,430
- [firefighter] No. No, that--
- It's one fire.
402
00:24:32,431 --> 00:24:34,599
No, that would be impossible
for it to move that way.
403
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,352
- All one damn fire.
- [firefighter 2] If we got one fire,
404
00:24:38,061 --> 00:24:40,021
you're looking at
a perimeter about... like that.
405
00:24:40,022 --> 00:24:41,940
Okay. Let's send resources to Concow.
406
00:24:42,441 --> 00:24:44,567
Air tankers, engines.
Give him what he needs.
407
00:24:44,568 --> 00:24:46,736
- [firefighter 2] Tankers. Yeah.
- Copy. You got that?
408
00:24:46,737 --> 00:24:48,613
Okay. So, if we've got fire in Concow,
409
00:24:48,614 --> 00:24:51,324
we have to change
that evac warning to an order.
410
00:24:51,325 --> 00:24:52,409
- Do it.
- Copy.
411
00:24:52,951 --> 00:24:54,828
New containment line is Jordan Hill Road.
412
00:24:56,246 --> 00:24:58,372
[Ruby] All drivers, this is Base.
Listen up.
413
00:24:58,373 --> 00:25:00,416
Uh, well, I guess today's
a real special day
414
00:25:00,417 --> 00:25:04,129
{\an8}because we just saw
that Cal Fire's got a fire up by Concow.
415
00:25:04,713 --> 00:25:06,047
So, uh, y'all know the drill.
416
00:25:06,048 --> 00:25:09,051
Just stay off the radio,
and be listening for code reds, okay?
417
00:25:10,385 --> 00:25:12,929
[Ruby] 963, Base call. You on your way?
418
00:25:12,930 --> 00:25:16,432
Uh, Base, this is 963.
Uh, ETA 15 minutes, boss.
419
00:25:16,433 --> 00:25:18,684
I've got one more quick stop I gotta make.
420
00:25:18,685 --> 00:25:21,187
[Ruby] Kevin, you need
to get bus 963 into the garage,
421
00:25:21,188 --> 00:25:22,813
or you're gonna miss your afternoon route.
422
00:25:22,814 --> 00:25:24,942
I told you,
it's gonna take at least two hours.
423
00:25:26,318 --> 00:25:29,071
Understood, boss. Uh, I've got
a bit of a family situation, okay?
424
00:25:29,655 --> 00:25:31,405
[Ruby] Kevin, I'm not interested, okay?
425
00:25:31,406 --> 00:25:34,826
I need you to get the bus back here now.
The mechanic can't wait around all day.
426
00:25:35,702 --> 00:25:38,330
Copy that, boss.
I'll be there as soon as I can. Over.
427
00:25:38,914 --> 00:25:41,917
[fire truck horn blares]
428
00:25:46,505 --> 00:25:48,173
[siren wailing]
429
00:25:49,341 --> 00:25:51,426
- Everyone, evacuate! Let's go!
- [person] Help!
430
00:25:52,344 --> 00:25:54,429
- Go get in that truck, okay?
- [person 2 crying]
431
00:25:55,013 --> 00:25:56,265
Everyone, evacuate!
432
00:25:56,765 --> 00:25:57,766
Let's go!
433
00:25:58,267 --> 00:26:00,768
Leave everything.
Leave that. Leave everything.
434
00:26:00,769 --> 00:26:02,019
Get in the car now!
435
00:26:02,020 --> 00:26:03,981
- Hey, is there anyone else inside?
- [person 3] No.
436
00:26:04,606 --> 00:26:05,940
[Hopkins] Anyone inside?
437
00:26:05,941 --> 00:26:07,359
[person 4] Come on, baby. Let's go.
438
00:26:08,360 --> 00:26:09,945
[Hopkins] Fire department!
439
00:26:12,614 --> 00:26:14,532
[grunts] Guys, let's go.
440
00:26:14,533 --> 00:26:15,659
Leave your bags.
441
00:26:16,451 --> 00:26:17,452
Leave your bags!
442
00:26:17,995 --> 00:26:20,330
- [people clamoring, screaming]
- Everyone, evacuate!
443
00:26:25,544 --> 00:26:27,086
- [child crying] Mommy!
- Leave it.
444
00:26:27,087 --> 00:26:28,504
- We gotta go. Come on!
- No!
445
00:26:28,505 --> 00:26:31,008
[Hopkins] I said get her in the car now.
Let's go.
446
00:26:32,634 --> 00:26:34,135
- Do you have a car?
- [person 5] No.
447
00:26:34,136 --> 00:26:37,305
Go get in that white truck.
Hurry up. Let's go. Hold on tight.
448
00:26:37,306 --> 00:26:38,389
Go!
449
00:26:38,390 --> 00:26:41,143
[people screaming]
450
00:26:43,312 --> 00:26:45,105
IC, Utility 2136.
451
00:26:45,606 --> 00:26:48,442
Be advised,
we need medics for multiple burn injuries.
452
00:26:49,026 --> 00:26:50,359
I'm starting a convoy.
453
00:26:50,360 --> 00:26:52,195
We're heading out on Concow Road.
454
00:26:52,196 --> 00:26:54,655
Follow me! Stay close!
455
00:26:54,656 --> 00:26:56,449
Everyone, follow each other!
456
00:26:56,450 --> 00:26:58,701
Everyone, hang on, okay?
457
00:26:58,702 --> 00:27:00,786
- Let's go.
- [engine revs]
458
00:27:00,787 --> 00:27:03,832
[horns honking]
459
00:27:19,681 --> 00:27:21,182
- Hello?
- [clerk] Do you have any questions
460
00:27:21,183 --> 00:27:22,266
- about--
- Hello?
461
00:27:22,267 --> 00:27:23,768
[clerk] I'll be with you in a moment.
462
00:27:23,769 --> 00:27:24,853
[Kevin] Okay.
463
00:27:25,437 --> 00:27:27,898
- Uh...
- Sounds good. And they are chewable.
464
00:27:28,565 --> 00:27:29,565
You can eat that.
465
00:27:29,566 --> 00:27:31,359
- That I don't think is a good idea.
- [sighs]
466
00:27:31,360 --> 00:27:32,443
Okay.
467
00:27:32,444 --> 00:27:35,571
Ma'am, my son, uh... [stammers]
He's got a fever, and he's throwing up.
468
00:27:35,572 --> 00:27:36,572
I was on the phone.
469
00:27:36,573 --> 00:27:37,907
- Uh, your son, how old is he?
- Sure.
470
00:27:37,908 --> 00:27:38,991
Fourteen.
471
00:27:38,992 --> 00:27:41,202
- Um, does he have any allergies?
- He's 15, actually.
472
00:27:41,203 --> 00:27:42,578
Yeah. He's 15. No, uh...
473
00:27:42,579 --> 00:27:45,790
- [stammers] I don't know.
- Food intolerances or anything like that?
474
00:27:45,791 --> 00:27:47,416
[stammers] I don't think so. No.
475
00:27:47,417 --> 00:27:50,711
Whatever the standard thing is
for-for-for fever and throwing up.
476
00:27:50,712 --> 00:27:51,629
Okay. Sounds like
477
00:27:51,630 --> 00:27:53,214
- Tylenol would be your best bet.
- Yeah.
478
00:27:53,215 --> 00:27:54,131
Great. Thank you.
479
00:27:54,132 --> 00:27:56,384
[clerk] Great. These are going for $7.25.
480
00:27:56,385 --> 00:27:58,386
- [Kevin] Okay. All right.
- [phone ringing]
481
00:27:58,387 --> 00:28:00,304
- I'll be right there, Linda.
- Would you like a bag?
482
00:28:00,305 --> 00:28:02,014
[Kevin] No. That's good.
You can keep the change.
483
00:28:02,015 --> 00:28:02,932
S-Sir, I can...
484
00:28:02,933 --> 00:28:05,852
- Yeah. Go ahead. Huh? No.
- [Linda] What's going on, Kevin?
485
00:28:05,853 --> 00:28:07,812
Shaun's been messaging.
Says he wants to come home.
486
00:28:07,813 --> 00:28:09,605
- No.
- He says he wants me to come get him.
487
00:28:09,606 --> 00:28:11,858
- No. That... That's ridiculous.
- Well, he sounds upset.
488
00:28:11,859 --> 00:28:13,025
- What happened?
- Nothing.
489
00:28:13,026 --> 00:28:15,653
We had a little misunderstanding.
I thought he was cutting class.
490
00:28:15,654 --> 00:28:17,321
- Well, was he?
- [pants] Was he what?
491
00:28:17,322 --> 00:28:18,990
- Was he cutting class?
- No.
492
00:28:18,991 --> 00:28:22,076
[exhales deeply] It was my mistake.
He's actually got a stomach flu.
493
00:28:22,077 --> 00:28:24,287
But look, I just picked up some Tylenol,
so everything's fine.
494
00:28:24,288 --> 00:28:27,790
It's not fine, Kevin. Not if he's ill
and saying he wants to come home.
495
00:28:27,791 --> 00:28:29,625
I don't have time
for this right now, Linda.
496
00:28:29,626 --> 00:28:32,461
You hear me? I'm already late to get
the bus to the depot for maintenance.
497
00:28:32,462 --> 00:28:35,339
And you think I got time?
I'm working too, you know?
498
00:28:35,340 --> 00:28:38,010
And Pete and I are supposed
to be going to Colorado tonight.
499
00:28:39,178 --> 00:28:41,346
- Tonight?
- Yes, tonight.
500
00:28:42,055 --> 00:28:43,056
I told you.
501
00:28:44,850 --> 00:28:47,519
My bad. Listen, Linda,
I'm gonna have to call you back.

Okay, 963. Base call.
You on your way, Kevin?
504
00:28:55,736 --> 00:28:57,403
[Kevin] Are there any updates
on that fire?
505
00:28:57,404 --> 00:29:00,156
Because I'm up here in Magalia,
and I... and I can see the smoke column
506
00:29:00,157 --> 00:29:01,991
o-over the canyon, okay?

- And it's blowing right at us.

508

Now, get that bus back here now.
I've already asked you three times.

525
00:29:48,539 --> 00:29:50,832

Air Attack, Camp IC.
I need you to try a second pass.

[Hopkins] Negative.
The fire's blocked it. I'm cut off.
541
00:30:50,392 --> 00:30:52,226
This thing is going to burn over them.
542
00:30:52,227 --> 00:30:53,895

00:31:06,158 --> 00:31:07,867
you're gonna run into the creek!
549

As soon as you get in the creek,
cover your mouth, protect your airway.
550

[firefighter] Camp IC, Engine 2182.
576
00:32:29,950 --> 00:32:32,702

No impact with the drop. No impact at all.

00:32:46,675 --> 00:32:48,342
Damn it, where are those Paradise engines?
583
00:32:48,343 --> 00:32:50,595
[firefighter] I just got word
they're not gonna make it through.
584
00:32:50,596 --> 00:32:52,430
They're stuck. They're not gonna make it.
585
00:32:52,431 --> 00:32:54,223
[Hopkins] Stay together! It's coming!
586
00:32:54,224 --> 00:32:56,810
- [people whimpering]
- Stay calm! We'll make it through!
587
00:33:01,773 --> 00:33:03,065
Heads down!
588
00:33:03,066 --> 00:33:05,610
Burnover! Burnover! Burnover!

590
00:33:15,287 --> 00:33:18,040

[firefighter 2] It's not good.
595
00:33:35,891 --> 00:33:37,809
[Hopkins] Initial wave has passed.
596
00:33:38,310 --> 00:33:39,937
We're sheltering in the creek.
597
00:33:41,688 --> 00:33:45,525
We got multiple burn injuries,
and we need help now!
598
00:33:45,526 --> 00:33:48,945
Utility 2136, copy that.
Hold your position.
599
00:33:48,946 --> 00:33:52,449
We'll get medics in
and dozers inbound to clear an evac path.
600
00:33:53,116 --> 00:33:56,285
[Hopkins] You don't understand!
Extreme fire behavior.
601
00:33:56,286 --> 00:33:59,121
Critical rate of spread,
heading west towards Paradise!
602
00:33:59,122 --> 00:34:00,207
[sighs]
603
00:34:01,166 --> 00:34:03,168

[sirens wailing]
606
00:34:40,664 --> 00:34:42,748
[line ringing]
607
00:34:44,126 --> 00:34:45,376
Shaun.
608
00:34:45,377 --> 00:34:47,295
Hey, it's me, Dad. Listen, um...
609
00:34:50,215 --> 00:34:51,465
I'm sorry about last night.
610
00:34:51,466 --> 00:34:54,635
All right. [stutters]
I'm sorry you're not feeling well.
611
00:34:54,636 --> 00:34:56,220
[stutters] I just picked up some medicine.
612
00:34:56,221 --> 00:34:59,308
[stutters] I'll get it to you as soon
as I get home after work. All right?
613
00:34:59,892 --> 00:35:01,934
Listen... [stutters]
...I need you to do me a favor.
614
00:35:01,935 --> 00:35:04,145
All right, the... fire out in Concow,
615
00:35:04,146 --> 00:35:06,815
I don't think
it's anything to worry about.
616
00:35:07,816 --> 00:35:10,818
But just in case, turn on Channel 7
so you can keep an eye on it.
617
00:35:10,819 --> 00:35:13,362
Okay? I don't...
I don't want Grandma to worry.
618
00:35:13,363 --> 00:35:15,532
You know how she gets worried. Huh?
619
00:35:16,700 --> 00:35:17,701
All right, buddy.
620
00:35:18,994 --> 00:35:20,828
[stutters] I'll see you after work.
621
00:35:20,829 --> 00:35:22,164
Hope you're feeling better.
622
00:35:22,873 --> 00:35:25,334
[siren wailing]
623
00:35:26,001 --> 00:35:28,669
Uh, Oroville, Camp IC.
Uh, we gotta get people moving.
624
00:35:28,670 --> 00:35:30,087
Alert Town Hall.
625

[dispatcher] Camp IC, Oroville copies.
629
00:35:40,933 --> 00:35:43,518
- Mandatory evacuation zones 3, 8, 14.
- We stay focused.
630
00:35:43,519 --> 00:35:45,229
We have a plan. We stick to it.
631
00:35:45,812 --> 00:35:47,814
[helicopter whirring]
632
00:36:06,333 --> 00:36:08,794
[siren wailing]
633
00:36:10,045 --> 00:36:12,464
[official 1] Okay.
Yes, I-- I've got it. All right.
634
00:36:13,549 --> 00:36:15,550
They've issued an evacuation order.
635
00:36:15,551 --> 00:36:16,968
Phone lines are down.
636
00:36:16,969 --> 00:36:18,220
[town hall official 1] Come on.
637
00:36:18,887 --> 00:36:20,304
All right, give me those zones.
638
00:36:20,305 --> 00:36:22,849
- [town hall official 2] Uh, 3, 8 and 14.
- [typing]
639
00:36:22,850 --> 00:36:24,809
- East Paradise only.
- [computer beeps]
640
00:36:24,810 --> 00:36:26,394
[town hall official 1 sighs]
641
00:36:26,395 --> 00:36:28,689
It won't go through. It didn't send.
642
00:36:29,439 --> 00:36:30,440
Okay. [sighs]
643
00:36:31,024 --> 00:36:32,401
[sighs] Go!
644
00:36:36,572 --> 00:36:40,157
[chief] Camp Air Attack, Camp IC,
I need air support in the canyon now.
645
00:36:40,158 --> 00:36:41,785
We need you to buy us some time.
646
00:36:42,286 --> 00:36:44,746
[firefighter] Chief, look at that fire
coming down towards Paradise.
647
00:36:46,373 --> 00:36:48,040
[pilot] Camp IC, Camp Air Attack.
648
00:36:48,041 --> 00:36:49,625
We are having zero impact.
649
00:36:49,626 --> 00:36:52,086
The fire is spotting onto
the western side of the canyon.
650
00:36:52,087 --> 00:36:54,006
Wind speed is a real problem.
651
00:36:57,259 --> 00:36:59,510
IC copies. We need outside resources.
652
00:36:59,511 --> 00:37:02,346
Requesting 50 additional
strike teams immediately.
653
00:37:02,347 --> 00:37:03,723
[dispatcher] Camp IC, Oroville copies.
654
00:37:03,724 --> 00:37:06,642
That's gonna be extended,
sir, minimum two to three hours.
655
00:37:06,643 --> 00:37:09,478
Chief, if-if we don't get resources
i-into Paradise now,
656
00:37:09,479 --> 00:37:10,563
we're gonna lose this thing.
657
00:37:10,564 --> 00:37:12,148
It's gonna be too late.
658
00:37:12,149 --> 00:37:13,816
We're gonna lose our air support.
659
00:37:13,817 --> 00:37:15,902
It's too dangerous
to fly in these conditions.
660
00:37:15,903 --> 00:37:18,363
There's no way they're gonna continue
in this wind.
661
00:37:20,324 --> 00:37:22,868
[pilot] Camp IC, Branch 3.
We're being overrun.
662
00:37:23,535 --> 00:37:26,037
The fire is crossing the canyon.
We can't stop it.
663
00:37:26,038 --> 00:37:28,123
Do you copy? We can't stop it.
664
00:37:36,673 --> 00:37:39,175
[students clamoring]
665
00:37:39,176 --> 00:37:41,428
[teacher] Okay. Mary's class, sit down.
666
00:37:43,931 --> 00:37:44,932
Class,
667
00:37:45,432 --> 00:37:47,975
we don't all need to look out the window.
668
00:37:47,976 --> 00:37:51,146
It's just another brush fire.
Nothing new. Come sit down.
669
00:37:51,772 --> 00:37:52,856
Take out a book.
670
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,782
- Do we know what we're doing?
- Still no evacuation order.
671
00:38:02,783 --> 00:38:04,033
I'm not waiting.
672
00:38:04,034 --> 00:38:07,912
Okay, let's just get everyone out of here
and home as quickly as we can.
673
00:38:07,913 --> 00:38:09,747
Okay, I'll send an email to parents.
674
00:38:09,748 --> 00:38:13,584
If any of your students have phones
or know their numbers,
675
00:38:13,585 --> 00:38:15,503
- get the parents to collect.
- Okay, but...
676
00:38:15,504 --> 00:38:18,005
but some of my kids
have parents who work out of town,
677
00:38:18,006 --> 00:38:21,092
and the parents will never get here
in time. What do we do about those kids?
678
00:38:21,093 --> 00:38:24,136
Okay. [stutters] I'm sure they're gonna
have an alternative collection point.
679
00:38:24,137 --> 00:38:27,056
So, let's just gather together
the students who can't be collected.
680
00:38:27,057 --> 00:38:28,933
And I'll just keep trying Town Hall.
681
00:38:28,934 --> 00:38:30,393
[teacher] Okay. Thank you.
682
00:38:30,394 --> 00:38:31,562
Okay, um...
683
00:38:32,187 --> 00:38:35,064
Echo. Do you know your mom's phone number?
684
00:38:35,065 --> 00:38:36,358
- Uh-huh.
- You do?
685
00:38:36,900 --> 00:38:38,651
- Great. F--
- 435-232--
686
00:38:38,652 --> 00:38:41,488
Okay. Hold on one second.
I'm gonna ask you to write it down.
687
00:38:42,114 --> 00:38:44,323
Who else knows their mom
or dad's phone number?
688
00:38:44,324 --> 00:38:46,242
[phone ringing]
689
00:38:46,243 --> 00:38:48,494
- [Kevin] Yeah?
- [Linda] You said you'd call me back.
690
00:38:48,495 --> 00:38:49,745
[Kevin] I'm sorry. I got distracted.
691
00:38:49,746 --> 00:38:51,998
Look, I don't want to argue.
692
00:38:51,999 --> 00:38:54,417
I'm tired of the same fight every week.
693
00:38:54,418 --> 00:38:56,711
We don't need to argue, Lin.
There's nothing to argue about.
694
00:38:56,712 --> 00:38:59,213
Okay. [stutters] I didn't realize
our son was sick.
695
00:38:59,214 --> 00:39:02,258
It was an honest mistake.
[stutters] You don't need to get involved.
696
00:39:02,259 --> 00:39:04,552
- Then why is he calling me?
- [siren wailing]
697
00:39:04,553 --> 00:39:06,804
[Kevin] I don't know! Linda, he's 15!
698
00:39:06,805 --> 00:39:09,140
He got in a fight with his dad,
and he's calling his mom.
699
00:39:09,141 --> 00:39:12,268
Don't make this a bigger deal than it is.
[stutters] I'm dealing with it.
700
00:39:12,269 --> 00:39:15,522
[Ruby] Base to 963, what is your location?
701
00:39:16,148 --> 00:39:18,983
- Uh, 963, ETA, ten minutes.
- [horns honking]
702
00:39:18,984 --> 00:39:20,735
The traffic is backed up over here.
703
00:39:20,736 --> 00:39:24,572
[Linda] Face it, Kevin.
You're just... unreliable.
704
00:39:24,573 --> 00:39:26,991
No. No, [stutters]
I'm not doing this right now, Lin.
705
00:39:26,992 --> 00:39:30,370
I'm not gonna sit here and go over
all the ways that I screwed up with you.
706
00:39:32,623 --> 00:39:33,957
Listen, it's been tough...
707
00:39:35,209 --> 00:39:36,293
lately with Dad dying.
708
00:39:37,002 --> 00:39:39,128
[Linda] Don't use your dad as an excuse.
709
00:39:39,129 --> 00:39:42,590
The funeral was four months ago,
and you barely spoke to him for 20 years.
710
00:39:42,591 --> 00:39:44,008
He ruined your life.
711
00:39:44,009 --> 00:39:45,426
That's what you told me!
712
00:39:45,427 --> 00:39:46,845
That's bullshit, Linda.
713
00:39:48,639 --> 00:39:50,224
That's bullshit. That's a low blow.
714
00:39:53,727 --> 00:39:54,895
[Linda] I'm sorry.
715
00:39:56,063 --> 00:39:57,147
That wasn't nice.
716
00:39:58,148 --> 00:40:01,235
It's just the first weekend
I've been away with anyone since we...
717
00:40:03,070 --> 00:40:04,154
You know what I mean.
718
00:40:06,156 --> 00:40:08,824
[chattering on radio]
719
00:40:08,825 --> 00:40:11,578
Can you turn the radio down?
I can barely hear you.
720
00:40:12,204 --> 00:40:13,372
[Kevin] Turning it down.
721
00:40:15,207 --> 00:40:18,334
All I'm saying is
I know it's been hard for you,
722
00:40:18,335 --> 00:40:20,254
but you gotta think about Shaun.
723
00:40:21,129 --> 00:40:23,881
He looks at you, and all he sees is...
724
00:40:23,882 --> 00:40:25,050
What?
725
00:40:26,677 --> 00:40:28,511
What does he see when he looks at me?
726
00:40:28,512 --> 00:40:31,389
- Don't make me say it, Kevin.
- No, go ahead, say it. Say it.
727
00:40:31,390 --> 00:40:33,308
- You know what I mean.
- Say it.
728
00:40:36,645 --> 00:40:39,648
[sighs] There's a reason
why your life is a mess,
729
00:40:40,607 --> 00:40:43,443
and Shaun doesn't want to be with you.
730
00:40:47,281 --> 00:40:48,365
I gotta go.
731
00:41:05,632 --> 00:41:06,633
[sighs]
732
00:41:07,551 --> 00:41:08,844
[Ruby] Base to all drivers.
733
00:41:09,469 --> 00:41:11,804
We're having issues
with the comms over here.
734
00:41:11,805 --> 00:41:13,056
Is everybody hearing me?
735
00:41:16,226 --> 00:41:17,143
[line ringing]
736
00:41:17,144 --> 00:41:19,187
Hey, hey, Shaun. Hey, it's Dad.
737
00:41:19,188 --> 00:41:20,272
Listen, uh...
738
00:41:21,773 --> 00:41:23,859
[stutters] I need to know
you're okay, buddy. I, uh...
739
00:41:24,776 --> 00:41:27,153
Call me back if you're getting
any of these messages, please.
740
00:41:27,154 --> 00:41:29,239
Okay? I gotta, um...
741
00:41:30,490 --> 00:41:32,326
I gotta run...
I gotta run the bus to the depot.
742
00:41:32,826 --> 00:41:35,204
Swinging by maintenance
for a couple of hours, then I'll...
743
00:41:38,290 --> 00:41:39,291
[sighs]
744
00:41:41,335 --> 00:41:42,543
You know what?
745
00:41:42,544 --> 00:41:44,630
[stutters] I'm coming home right now.
746
00:41:45,297 --> 00:41:47,006
- You hear me, buddy?
- [engine revs]
747
00:41:47,007 --> 00:41:48,467
I'm coming home right now.
748
00:41:51,553 --> 00:41:52,595
[horn honks]
749
00:41:52,596 --> 00:41:55,515
I got your medicine on me.
I'll be there in 20 minutes max.
750
00:41:55,516 --> 00:41:57,601
[horns honking]
751
00:42:08,028 --> 00:42:09,862
Hey, all drivers, this is Base.
752
00:42:09,863 --> 00:42:11,197
This is an important update.
753
00:42:11,198 --> 00:42:14,909
We are now evacuating East Paradise only.
754
00:42:14,910 --> 00:42:20,164
- [worker] What zones?
- [Ruby] East Paradise zones 3, 8 and 14.
755
00:42:20,165 --> 00:42:23,918
That is 3, 8 and 14 only.
756
00:42:23,919 --> 00:42:27,338
Any driver east of Clark
all the way to Pentz,
757
00:42:27,339 --> 00:42:29,423
you need to evacuate
that area immediately.
758
00:42:29,424 --> 00:42:33,135
They're worried about the fire coming
across the canyon from Concow.
759
00:42:33,136 --> 00:42:35,137
So if you have any children on board,
760
00:42:35,138 --> 00:42:40,059
you need to take them west all the way
out of town to the Chico depot.
761
00:42:40,060 --> 00:42:43,729
Repeat, the evacuation muster point
is Chico depot.
762
00:42:43,730 --> 00:42:44,982
Base clear.
763
00:42:48,026 --> 00:42:49,777
[parent] Okay, honey. Get in.
764
00:42:49,778 --> 00:42:52,948
- [engine revs]
- Come on, come on. Stop!
765
00:42:56,827 --> 00:42:59,203
[students chattering]
766
00:42:59,204 --> 00:43:01,706
All right, let's, um...
767
00:43:01,707 --> 00:43:02,999
I'll be right back.
768
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:05,334
All right, so we got the evac order.
769
00:43:05,335 --> 00:43:08,337
Apparently, their system went down,
and they weren't able to get it out.
770
00:43:08,338 --> 00:43:10,882
They want every student
who hasn't already been collected
771
00:43:10,883 --> 00:43:13,384
to be taken over to Paradise Elementary.
772
00:43:13,385 --> 00:43:15,052
Okay? That's the new collection point.
773
00:43:15,053 --> 00:43:16,637
That's where they're sending
all the parents.
774
00:43:16,638 --> 00:43:19,265
Okay. Well,
we have 23 kids without transport.
775
00:43:19,266 --> 00:43:21,184
So how are we gonna get them there?
776
00:43:21,185 --> 00:43:22,853
[teacher] I can take four in my car.
777
00:43:24,229 --> 00:43:26,439
- I didn't drive, so I can't help at all.
- No, no.
778
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:28,774
[stammers] We cannot
get them there by ourselves.
779
00:43:28,775 --> 00:43:30,359
We don't have enough cars.
780
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:31,819
- [principal] Yes.
- They need to send us a bus.
781
00:43:31,820 --> 00:43:33,906
- Call Ruby.
- Oh, yeah. I'll call the depot.
782
00:43:39,369 --> 00:43:41,704
Hi, Anna. It's, um... It's Mary.
783
00:43:41,705 --> 00:43:45,500
Look, they're evacuating East Paradise,
and I can't get to Jake.
784
00:43:45,501 --> 00:43:46,918
Steven's out of town for work.
785
00:43:46,919 --> 00:43:49,003
And I was wondering
if you could go get him,
786
00:43:49,004 --> 00:43:51,297
and then I'll just get
to you as soon as I can.
787
00:43:51,298 --> 00:43:52,798
Um, okay. Thank you.
788
00:43:52,799 --> 00:43:55,301
Uh, let me know that you got this.
All right? Love you. Bye.
789
00:43:55,302 --> 00:43:56,302
[phone rings]
790
00:43:56,303 --> 00:43:58,388
[Ruby] Unified Schools
Transportation Office.
791
00:44:00,724 --> 00:44:03,727
Uh, I'm sorry.
Uh, can you... Can you speak up please?
792
00:44:04,436 --> 00:44:06,063
It's the principal of Ponderosa.
793
00:44:06,855 --> 00:44:08,273
Yes, ma'am.
794
00:44:08,857 --> 00:44:10,234
Yes, ma'am. Yes, ma'am.
795
00:44:11,151 --> 00:44:12,818
They need a bus to take them west
796
00:44:12,819 --> 00:44:15,446
{\an8}to the alternative collection
point at Paradise Elementary.
797
00:44:15,447 --> 00:44:17,448
Just outside the evac zone.
798
00:44:17,449 --> 00:44:20,368
Do we have anybody on a route over there?
Check the route maps.
799
00:44:20,369 --> 00:44:21,744
- Cesar.
- [Cesar] Yeah?
800
00:44:21,745 --> 00:44:23,579
[Ruby] I need you to go out
and prep a bus just in case.
801
00:44:23,580 --> 00:44:25,081
- [Cesar] All right.
- Yes, ma'am.
802
00:44:25,082 --> 00:44:27,375
We are gonna get a bus
right out to you, okay?
803
00:44:27,376 --> 00:44:29,044
So you just sit tight. Okay?
804
00:44:29,670 --> 00:44:30,753
Thank you so much.
805
00:44:30,754 --> 00:44:32,171
All right. Bye-bye.
806
00:44:32,172 --> 00:44:36,843
Uh, Base to all drivers,
this is an update on that evac notice.
807
00:44:36,844 --> 00:44:38,010
We have a situation.
808
00:44:38,011 --> 00:44:40,096
Ponderosa Elementary.
809
00:44:40,097 --> 00:44:44,559
I repeat, there's a situation developing
at Ponderosa Elementary.
810
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:48,813
There are 23 kids who are stranded
in the evacuation zone.
811
00:44:48,814 --> 00:44:51,148
Their parents cannot make it
in to pick them up.
812
00:44:51,149 --> 00:44:52,900
They need to be picked up
813
00:44:52,901 --> 00:44:57,363
and taken to the alternative
collection point at Paradise Elementary.
814
00:44:57,364 --> 00:45:01,410
Is there anybody empty
and in the area of East Paradise?
815
00:45:02,452 --> 00:45:05,121
[bus driver 1] 987 to Base.
Sorry, all full.
816
00:45:05,122 --> 00:45:06,873
Not reached my school yet.
817
00:45:06,874 --> 00:45:09,959
[bus driver 2] 910 to Base.
Full here too, Ruby.
818
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:11,294
Ten minutes from dropping off.
819
00:45:11,295 --> 00:45:12,628
Come on.
820
00:45:12,629 --> 00:45:15,298
[bus driver 3] 922 to Base,
I'm en route to Chico.
821
00:45:15,299 --> 00:45:18,593
I'm just passing Base,
but I can swing back.
822
00:45:18,594 --> 00:45:20,261
[Ruby] No, 922. Do not swing back.
823
00:45:20,262 --> 00:45:21,929
Once you get out of there, you get out.
824
00:45:21,930 --> 00:45:24,348
Those roads are gonna get
real crazy real quick, okay?
825
00:45:24,349 --> 00:45:27,935
Is there anybody in East Paradise
with an empty bus
826
00:45:27,936 --> 00:45:29,855
that can go and pick these kids up?
827
00:45:34,985 --> 00:45:36,820
No. No.
828
00:45:40,282 --> 00:45:41,283
[sighs]
829
00:45:49,666 --> 00:45:51,293
963 to Base, I can get 'em.
830
00:45:55,464 --> 00:45:56,631
Kevin, is that you?
831
00:45:56,632 --> 00:45:57,716
Yeah.
832
00:45:58,467 --> 00:46:00,468
Yeah, I'm still on this side of town.
Remember?
833
00:46:00,469 --> 00:46:01,553
I was running late.
834
00:46:03,472 --> 00:46:04,472
Yep, yep. I remember.
835
00:46:04,473 --> 00:46:06,642
So, uh, we can do maintenance
another day, okay?
836
00:46:07,976 --> 00:46:10,228
Listen, if you get those kids out,
you will have done well.
837
00:46:10,229 --> 00:46:11,980
Okay, Kevin? You copy?
838
00:46:14,233 --> 00:46:16,318
Copy that. Have them lined up.
839
00:46:17,069 --> 00:46:18,153
I'm on my way.
840
00:46:21,198 --> 00:46:23,200
[siren wailing]
841
00:46:27,496 --> 00:46:29,456
[chattering on radio]
842
00:46:34,211 --> 00:46:37,130
[chattering]
843
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:44,805
- [horns honking]
- [siren wailing]
844
00:47:05,742 --> 00:47:07,034
- [horn honking]
- "And it was..."
845
00:47:07,035 --> 00:47:09,704
Oh, there's the bus.
Okay, okay, okay. Stay seated.
846
00:47:09,705 --> 00:47:12,206
Stay sitting please, everybody.
847
00:47:12,207 --> 00:47:13,875
[honking continues]
848
00:47:13,876 --> 00:47:14,960
[grunts]
849
00:47:18,338 --> 00:47:19,840
[Kevin] Twenty kids for evac?
850
00:47:20,507 --> 00:47:22,843
They're in there. Around to the right.
851
00:47:27,639 --> 00:47:28,890
- [Kevin] Hi.
- [Mary] Hi.
852
00:47:28,891 --> 00:47:31,726
- Are you here for the kids?
- Yes, I am. Are they... Are they ready?
853
00:47:31,727 --> 00:47:33,477
Um, yep.
We're gathering them up right now.
854
00:47:33,478 --> 00:47:34,729
- [Kevin] Okay.
- Um, what's your name?
855
00:47:34,730 --> 00:47:36,939
- Kevin. And, uh...
- Kevin, hi. I'm Mary.
856
00:47:36,940 --> 00:47:40,109
- Hi. As soon as we can gather...
- Yeah, great. We are...
857
00:47:40,110 --> 00:47:42,570
- We're gonna get 'em in line in a minute.
- Yeah.
858
00:47:42,571 --> 00:47:45,072
These kids, their parents
couldn't make it 'cause they work too--
859
00:47:45,073 --> 00:47:47,325
- Paradise Elementary. Got it.
- Right. The alternative drop-off.
860
00:47:47,326 --> 00:47:48,659
Yep. Got it. Ready to go.
861
00:47:48,660 --> 00:47:50,745
- Principal Hayes. Thank you for coming.
- Hi. Yep.
862
00:47:50,746 --> 00:47:52,163
- Okay...
- Sooner the better.
863
00:47:52,164 --> 00:47:54,081
...and we're just gonna keep it calm
for the kids.
864
00:47:54,082 --> 00:47:57,919
Kids, this is our bus driver, Kevin.
Can we say hi to Kevin?
865
00:47:57,920 --> 00:47:59,587
[students] Hi, Kevin.
866
00:47:59,588 --> 00:48:01,923
[Mary] Can I get you
in two straight lines?
867
00:48:01,924 --> 00:48:03,841
Shortest in the front.
Tallest in the back.
868
00:48:03,842 --> 00:48:08,054
And Kevin is gonna drive you
to Paradise Elementary,
869
00:48:08,055 --> 00:48:11,390
where your parents
are going to pick you up.
870
00:48:11,391 --> 00:48:13,226
I'm gonna lead the line, Principal.
871
00:48:13,227 --> 00:48:16,312
If you could please take the back
and do a head count while we walk.
872
00:48:16,313 --> 00:48:18,523
If you're ready, raise your hand.
873
00:48:18,524 --> 00:48:20,191
Let me see your eyes. Eyes on me.
874
00:48:20,192 --> 00:48:21,692
I want to see everybody's eyes.
875
00:48:21,693 --> 00:48:23,110
- Are we ready?
- [students] Yes.
876
00:48:23,111 --> 00:48:26,113
[Mary] We're gonna walk calmly.
We're gonna walk slowly.
877
00:48:26,114 --> 00:48:27,657
We're gonna stay with our partners.
878
00:48:27,658 --> 00:48:29,743
- Okay, here we go.
- [Kevin] Yeah. Come on.
879
00:48:34,248 --> 00:48:37,583
- What do you think, like, ten minutes?
- Uh, yeah, if we get a move on, yes.
880
00:48:37,584 --> 00:48:40,545
But the traffic's getting really busy
out there. So the quicker, the better.
881
00:48:40,546 --> 00:48:42,130
Okay. We have time.
882
00:48:42,798 --> 00:48:43,840
Well, you know, ma'am,
883
00:48:43,841 --> 00:48:46,717
I don't think you understand
the urgency of our situation here.
884
00:48:46,718 --> 00:48:49,136
I recognize the urgency of our situation.
885
00:48:49,137 --> 00:48:50,638
And it's Mary, not "ma'am."
886
00:48:50,639 --> 00:48:52,807
Hoods up if you have a hood!
887
00:48:52,808 --> 00:48:55,143
If you have a backpack, put it on top.
888
00:48:56,061 --> 00:48:59,605
- [students clamoring, screaming]
- Okay! It's okay! It's okay! It's okay!
889
00:48:59,606 --> 00:49:03,193
It's just a fire engine in the sky!
Use your backpacks, okay?
890
00:49:03,694 --> 00:49:04,778
All right.
891
00:49:06,154 --> 00:49:07,573
Find a seat on the bus, babe.
892
00:49:08,448 --> 00:49:10,325
Quietly, calmly, one single line.
893
00:49:11,034 --> 00:49:13,036
Not quickly, take your time.
894
00:49:15,205 --> 00:49:16,582
[Kevin] 963 to Base,
895
00:49:17,124 --> 00:49:19,375
we're loading the kids on the bus now.
896
00:49:19,376 --> 00:49:20,710
[students chattering]
897
00:49:20,711 --> 00:49:23,964
[Kevin] The signal's bad.
I'll let you know when we're clear, over.
898
00:49:25,048 --> 00:49:29,177
Everybody, I want you to stay seated
and listen to everything Kevin says.
899
00:49:29,178 --> 00:49:31,429
- Okay?
- W-Wait, wait, wait!
900
00:49:31,430 --> 00:49:32,805
Alex! I need Alex!
901
00:49:32,806 --> 00:49:35,141
- Alex? Alex, honey, your mom is here.
- Alex!
902
00:49:35,142 --> 00:49:36,601
Okay, you have all your things?
903
00:49:36,602 --> 00:49:38,144
- You gotta go. Okay.
- Oh, thank God.
904
00:49:38,145 --> 00:49:39,896
Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.
905
00:49:39,897 --> 00:49:41,063
[Mary] Okay, you are good to go.
906
00:49:41,064 --> 00:49:43,149
[Kevin] Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Ma'am, ma'am. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
907
00:49:43,150 --> 00:49:44,692
No, no. Y-You're coming. Yes.
908
00:49:44,693 --> 00:49:47,361
No. No. [stammers] I have to lock up.
909
00:49:47,362 --> 00:49:49,322
No, no, no, no. Y-You can't. I...
910
00:49:49,323 --> 00:49:50,948
I'm gonna drive and drop. Okay?
911
00:49:50,949 --> 00:49:53,451
I can't hang about
and hold any hands when I get there.
912
00:49:53,452 --> 00:49:55,703
I've got my own family
I gotta get home to.
913
00:49:55,704 --> 00:49:57,080
Okay? You gotta come.
914
00:49:58,415 --> 00:50:01,584
I-I don't think he can do this by himself.
I have to go with him.
915
00:50:01,585 --> 00:50:03,294
- [Kevin] Pipe down!
- It's fine.
916
00:50:03,295 --> 00:50:05,671
[stutters] I'll get a ride
from one of the teachers there.
917
00:50:05,672 --> 00:50:08,591
- Here, take the evac for HQ.
- You okay to lock up alone?
918
00:50:08,592 --> 00:50:10,218
- Yeah.
- All right. I'm here. I'm here.
919
00:50:10,219 --> 00:50:12,304
- I'm coming.
- [students cheering]
920
00:50:13,847 --> 00:50:15,348
- We're good.
- [Kevin] Hang on.
921
00:50:15,349 --> 00:50:17,308
[Mary] We got on the bus.
We're gonna be there.
922
00:50:17,309 --> 00:50:19,393
It's gonna take ten minutes.
923
00:50:19,394 --> 00:50:20,979
Did you see those fire engines?
924
00:50:25,108 --> 00:50:28,362
Okay, um, here is the school's evac route.
925
00:50:30,864 --> 00:50:35,451
We are... the East line, so we're gonna
stay on Pentz all the way down,
926
00:50:35,452 --> 00:50:38,538
and then cut a right on Pearson
to get us to Paradise Elementary.
927
00:50:38,539 --> 00:50:41,374
[stutters] I don't-I don't think
it's a good idea. L-Look at it.
928
00:50:41,375 --> 00:50:43,668
[stutters] T-There's
a better way out than Pentz right.
929
00:50:43,669 --> 00:50:46,420
Okay, but that's the plan.
So we're gonna stick to the plan.
930
00:50:46,421 --> 00:50:48,089
Whatever you say, teach.
931
00:50:48,090 --> 00:50:49,924
- [helicopter whirring]
- [chattering on radio]
932
00:50:49,925 --> 00:50:53,678
It's total gridlock.
Look how tight those roads are right now.
933
00:50:53,679 --> 00:50:57,056
It's gotta be at least 15 miles
of traffic trying to get to Chico.
934
00:50:57,057 --> 00:50:59,392
[pilot] Chief,
we're arriving at the fairgrounds.
935
00:50:59,393 --> 00:51:00,310
[chief] Copy that.
936
00:51:19,162 --> 00:51:21,622
I'm issuing a mandatory evacuation
on the whole town.
937
00:51:21,623 --> 00:51:23,374
All zones. Effective immediately.
938
00:51:23,375 --> 00:51:25,334
Chief, you can't do it. It'll be chaos.
939
00:51:25,335 --> 00:51:27,211
We're talking 26,000 people.
940
00:51:27,212 --> 00:51:28,880
If you get everyone moving out of town,
941
00:51:28,881 --> 00:51:30,381
you're never gonna get your engines in.
942
00:51:30,382 --> 00:51:32,466
You're not listening.
The fire's coming across the canyon.
943
00:51:32,467 --> 00:51:34,552
I've seen it with my own eyes.
It's moving fast.
944
00:51:34,553 --> 00:51:35,469
Here's the choice,
945
00:51:35,470 --> 00:51:38,055
bust the system or play by the book
and everybody dies.
946
00:51:38,056 --> 00:51:39,599
You want that on your conscience?
947
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:42,059
[chattering]
948
00:51:42,060 --> 00:51:43,978
Chief, we got the team
ordered early for ya.
949
00:51:43,979 --> 00:51:45,063
- Copy.
- All right.
950
00:51:48,108 --> 00:51:50,943
Hey, Chief. Chief. Mark Rogers of PG&E.
951
00:51:50,944 --> 00:51:53,112
I have a team here from headquarters.
We're available.
952
00:51:53,113 --> 00:51:55,615
Just get the power off in the town,
and we'll take care of the rest.
953
00:51:55,616 --> 00:51:56,782
- Yeah.
- [firefighter] Okay, listen.
954
00:51:56,783 --> 00:51:59,368
We gotta give the chief some space.
We will come to you in a second.
955
00:51:59,369 --> 00:52:01,830
Just... No, just wanted to say
we're available if you need us.
956
00:52:04,208 --> 00:52:06,459
Issue mandatory evac
order for the entire town.
957
00:52:06,460 --> 00:52:08,377
[firefighter] Copy, Chief.
Oroville, Camp Ops.
958
00:52:08,378 --> 00:52:11,297
Base to 179, 179. Are you clear?
959
00:52:11,298 --> 00:52:12,799
Are you out of East Paradise?
960
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:16,219
- [bus driver] 179. We're out.
- [Ruby] Great, great.
961
00:52:16,220 --> 00:52:17,304
Who's left?
962
00:52:18,096 --> 00:52:19,765
963 is the only one left.
963
00:52:20,641 --> 00:52:21,642
That's all.
964
00:52:23,101 --> 00:52:24,186
Base to 963.
965
00:52:24,728 --> 00:52:27,313
Base to 963, are you out of East Paradise?
966
00:52:27,314 --> 00:52:29,982
[static on radio]
967
00:52:29,983 --> 00:52:32,277
[horns honking]
968
00:52:34,321 --> 00:52:35,488
[Kevin] 963 to Base.
969
00:52:35,489 --> 00:52:37,574
[sighs] Do you read?
970
00:52:38,825 --> 00:52:42,036
[Mary] Don't be scared. The-The
fire trucks are responding to the fire.
971
00:52:42,037 --> 00:52:43,996
- They're doing their job.
- [Kevin] Anybody, 963 to Base.
972
00:52:43,997 --> 00:52:45,831
- They're keeping us safe.
- [Kevin] Can anybody hear me?
973
00:52:45,832 --> 00:52:49,252
Okay? We are on Pentz.
It is backed up going nowhere.
974
00:52:49,253 --> 00:52:51,838
963, come in please.
975
00:52:51,839 --> 00:52:53,090
Can you try his mobile?
976
00:52:57,427 --> 00:53:00,388
Why does he have to be the last bus
out of there? I swear to God.
977
00:53:00,389 --> 00:53:02,391
[Kevin] 963 to Base, do you read?
978
00:53:03,684 --> 00:53:06,103
Let me know if you're getting this. Over.
979
00:53:08,063 --> 00:53:10,147
Do you have any safety protocols
on this bus?
980
00:53:10,148 --> 00:53:11,567
[Kevin] Yep. You got this,
981
00:53:12,609 --> 00:53:13,861
and you got that.
982
00:53:15,153 --> 00:53:17,697
Great. Yeah.
That'll make all the difference.
983
00:53:17,698 --> 00:53:19,783
[siren wailing]
984
00:53:23,620 --> 00:53:24,621
So you're new here?
985
00:53:25,372 --> 00:53:27,124
No, I just came back a few months ago.
986
00:53:27,624 --> 00:53:28,875
Grew up here.
987
00:53:28,876 --> 00:53:31,003
Oh. What's that like?
988
00:53:32,171 --> 00:53:34,673
[groans] Not where I thought I'd be at 44.
989
00:53:36,633 --> 00:53:38,551
How long do you think this is gonna take?
990
00:53:38,552 --> 00:53:39,510
Hard to tell.
991
00:53:39,511 --> 00:53:42,096
If we'd have left the school on time,
you wouldn't have slow played me,
992
00:53:42,097 --> 00:53:45,017
it would have taken about ten minutes,
but now it's looking like 20-30.
993
00:53:46,018 --> 00:53:48,228
Guess we'll get there when we get there.
Okay, kiddies.
994
00:53:49,605 --> 00:53:54,859
Let's, um, raise some of these windows
so the smoke doesn't get in.
995
00:53:54,860 --> 00:53:56,986
- [sirens wailing]
- [Ruby] Hi. Is this fire command?
996
00:53:56,987 --> 00:54:00,364
This is Ruby Bishop at PUSD.
I've lost all radio communication,
997
00:54:00,365 --> 00:54:01,782
and I have a lost bus.
998
00:54:01,783 --> 00:54:04,619
It's number 963,
and it's over somewhere in East Paradise.
999
00:54:04,620 --> 00:54:06,704
Can you let me know
if your engines see him?
1000
00:54:06,705 --> 00:54:07,622
Thank you.
1001
00:54:07,623 --> 00:54:10,082
Okay, okay. Okay, uh...
1002
00:54:10,083 --> 00:54:12,001
963, do you read?
1003
00:54:12,002 --> 00:54:13,086
[static on radio]
1004
00:54:13,921 --> 00:54:16,506
Kevin? Can you... Can you hear me?
This is Base.
1005
00:54:16,507 --> 00:54:19,258
[static on radio]
1006
00:54:19,259 --> 00:54:20,719
[Mary] Honey, let's, um...
1007
00:54:21,303 --> 00:54:23,889
move this up so smoke doesn't get in.
1008
00:54:24,890 --> 00:54:26,516
- What's your name?
- Benjamin.
1009
00:54:26,517 --> 00:54:29,937
Benjamin, and you're in Miss Kristy's
class? That's right. I remember that.
1010
00:54:31,104 --> 00:54:32,813
[student] Miss Mary,
there's another window.
1011
00:54:32,814 --> 00:54:34,983
[Mary stammers] Yes. Let's get that one.
1012
00:54:38,237 --> 00:54:39,863
Screw this.
1013
00:54:41,281 --> 00:54:42,950
- [students screaming]
- Kevin!
1014
00:54:43,825 --> 00:54:45,743
What are you doing?
The plan is to stay on Pentz!
1015
00:54:45,744 --> 00:54:48,913
Turning over to Clark. It runs parallel.
It's bound to be moving better.
1016
00:54:48,914 --> 00:54:50,122
[Mary] But that's not the plan.
1017
00:54:50,123 --> 00:54:52,500
- The plan is to stay on Pentz.
- Screw the plan, teach.
1018
00:54:52,501 --> 00:54:53,417
You know what?
1019
00:54:53,418 --> 00:54:54,335
Hey, I could stay here
1020
00:54:54,336 --> 00:54:56,212
in the middle of the traffic jam
if that's what you want.
1021
00:54:56,213 --> 00:54:58,047
- Don't stop now, obviously.
- Want me to stay here?
1022
00:54:58,048 --> 00:54:59,550
No shit. Let me drive.
1023
00:55:02,886 --> 00:55:05,471
- What the hell is your problem?
- Look, you see that fire?
1024
00:55:05,472 --> 00:55:07,640
It's like the fucking
Fourth of July, okay?
1025
00:55:07,641 --> 00:55:10,017
I'd sit down if I were you.
I'm about to take a hard left.
1026
00:55:10,018 --> 00:55:11,769
- Bunch down, everybody!
- [Mary] Hold on!
1027
00:55:11,770 --> 00:55:13,772
[students screaming]
1028
00:55:15,107 --> 00:55:17,943
Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Hold on, kids!
1029
00:55:21,613 --> 00:55:24,031
- Oh, my God! Kevin!
- [fire truck horn blares]
1030
00:55:24,032 --> 00:55:25,700
- [Kevin yells]
- Hold on!
1031
00:55:25,701 --> 00:55:28,787
- [students clamoring]
- Jesus. Jesus Christ.
1032
00:55:29,538 --> 00:55:31,539
- [Kevin] We're clear.
- [Mary] Is everyone okay?
1033
00:55:31,540 --> 00:55:34,500
[students chattering]
1034
00:55:34,501 --> 00:55:36,753
We're okay. Traffic is moving.
1035
00:55:37,337 --> 00:55:39,672
Can you please ask before
you do something like that again?
1036
00:55:39,673 --> 00:55:41,591
You wanna get there quicker
or you wanna go by the book?
1037
00:55:41,592 --> 00:55:43,301
We have to be responsible.
1038
00:55:43,302 --> 00:55:46,596
Yep, and I think that means getting these
kids to their parents as soon as possible.
1039
00:55:46,597 --> 00:55:47,681
Don't you?
1040
00:55:48,390 --> 00:55:49,391
[sighs]
1041
00:55:53,937 --> 00:55:55,105
[inhales sharply]
1042
00:56:00,444 --> 00:56:02,737
- I'm not getting anything.
- Kevin, come in please.
1043
00:56:02,738 --> 00:56:03,821
[alarm beeps]
1044
00:56:03,822 --> 00:56:07,408
[electronic voice] This is a code red
alert. Evacuate all zones immediately.
1045
00:56:07,409 --> 00:56:09,577
[technician] Ruby, we gotta go.
I gotta get the power off.
1046
00:56:09,578 --> 00:56:11,078
- [Ruby] I know.
- I'm getting my guys outta here.
1047
00:56:11,079 --> 00:56:13,916
[Ruby] Okay, okay. Uh, take my keys. Okay?
1048
00:56:17,336 --> 00:56:20,213
963, do you read?
1049
00:56:20,214 --> 00:56:22,299
[siren wailing]
1050
00:56:24,218 --> 00:56:25,302
[sighs]
1051
00:56:28,514 --> 00:56:29,598
[sighs]
1052
00:56:34,269 --> 00:56:35,270
[sighs]
1053
00:56:36,772 --> 00:56:38,357
So, what about you? You always lived here?
1054
00:56:39,691 --> 00:56:43,195
[sighs] Yeah. Born and raised.
1055
00:56:44,780 --> 00:56:46,031
Never was really my speed.
1056
00:56:47,616 --> 00:56:48,951
Then why'd you come back?
1057
00:56:49,993 --> 00:56:51,495
My dad died a few months ago.
1058
00:56:53,288 --> 00:56:55,290
- Sorry.
- [Kevin] Nah, it's fine.
1059
00:56:57,084 --> 00:56:58,293
We weren't close.
1060
00:57:03,507 --> 00:57:04,507
So you staying?
1061
00:57:04,508 --> 00:57:06,552
- [siren wailing]
- For now.
1062
00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:13,475
What about you? Got family?
1063
00:57:15,644 --> 00:57:16,894
Yeah.
1064
00:57:16,895 --> 00:57:18,438
Married 19 years.
1065
00:57:19,147 --> 00:57:21,482
A Paradise poster family too, huh?
1066
00:57:21,483 --> 00:57:23,902
[scoffs] Yeah.
1067
00:57:25,028 --> 00:57:26,363
- One kid.
- [Kevin] Hmm.
1068
00:57:26,947 --> 00:57:29,366
Jake. He's 15.
1069
00:57:30,576 --> 00:57:32,578
I was gonna go get him, but...
1070
00:57:37,541 --> 00:57:39,710
[sighs] I didn't realize. Sorry.
1071
00:57:40,460 --> 00:57:41,794
[Mary] It's fine.
1072
00:57:41,795 --> 00:57:43,713
My sister will have gone for him.
1073
00:57:43,714 --> 00:57:45,048
His dad's out of town.
1074
00:57:46,258 --> 00:57:47,259
[sighs]
1075
00:57:49,386 --> 00:57:50,553
It'll be fine.
1076
00:57:50,554 --> 00:57:53,265
We're gonna drop the kids off,
and then I'll go find him.
1077
00:57:54,474 --> 00:57:56,726
- All right. How're we doing?
- [student 1] Are we gonna be okay?
1078
00:57:56,727 --> 00:57:58,144
[Mary] Yes. We're gonna be okay, sweetie.
1079
00:57:58,145 --> 00:57:59,312
[student 2] Are our pets okay?
1080
00:57:59,313 --> 00:58:01,397
[student 3] When will we see our parents?
1081
00:58:01,398 --> 00:58:03,150
[Mary] We'll see them there, yeah?
1082
00:58:03,901 --> 00:58:06,903
We're just trying to get you
to safety as soon as we can, okay?
1083
00:58:06,904 --> 00:58:08,446
- [cries]
- Yes, sweetie?
1084
00:58:08,447 --> 00:58:10,573
[student 4] When are we going to be there?
1085
00:58:10,574 --> 00:58:13,327
[Mary] We're gonna be there
as soon as we can, okay?
1086
00:58:14,494 --> 00:58:15,703
You okay, sweetie?
1087
00:58:15,704 --> 00:58:16,913
Mm-hmm.
1088
00:58:16,914 --> 00:58:18,748
Do you want to sit up front
with somebody else,
1089
00:58:18,749 --> 00:58:20,334
or do you want to be by yourself?
1090
00:58:21,502 --> 00:58:24,545
[Ruby] Kevin, if you can hear me,
they're evacuating the whole town,
1091
00:58:24,546 --> 00:58:27,465
and emergency services
are mustering 15 miles away
1092
00:58:27,466 --> 00:58:29,675
- at Chico Fairgrounds where it's safe.
- [horn honking]
1093
00:58:29,676 --> 00:58:31,969
Do not drop those kids off.
1094
00:58:31,970 --> 00:58:35,139
Just take 'em and come to Chico. Okay?
1095
00:58:35,140 --> 00:58:37,351
[honking continues]
1096
00:58:38,393 --> 00:58:40,228
[technician] Ruby, we're outta time.
We gotta go.
1097
00:58:40,229 --> 00:58:42,021
- I gotta get my guys out of here.
- Okay!
1098
00:58:42,022 --> 00:58:43,356
Ruby!
1099
00:58:43,357 --> 00:58:45,149
[honking continues]
1100
00:58:45,150 --> 00:58:48,737
Kevin, if you can hear me,
I will see you in Chico, okay?
1101
00:58:49,780 --> 00:58:50,780
Be careful. Base clear.
1102
00:58:50,781 --> 00:58:53,699
[honking continues]
1103
00:58:53,700 --> 00:58:54,785
[worker] Come on!
1104
00:59:07,548 --> 00:59:10,341
[firefighter] Chief, the fire's spreading
fast through East Paradise.
1105
00:59:10,342 --> 00:59:11,592
And I just got word from Division Hotel.
1106
00:59:11,593 --> 00:59:14,887
You got a working fire in the cardiology
wing at Feather River Hospital.
1107
00:59:14,888 --> 00:59:16,347
It's well established in the attic.
1108
00:59:16,348 --> 00:59:18,724
You got about 15 to 20 patients
that are outside right now.
1109
00:59:18,725 --> 00:59:20,309
We're working on getting them outta there.
1110
00:59:20,310 --> 00:59:22,645
Do whatever you can in there
and save the hospital, okay?
1111
00:59:22,646 --> 00:59:24,897
Get me Butte medics,
and tell them we need help.
1112
00:59:24,898 --> 00:59:26,941
Chief.
Air Attack has grounded all aircraft.
1113
00:59:26,942 --> 00:59:28,818
Now, I'll get you
an update as soon as I can,
1114
00:59:28,819 --> 00:59:30,611
but right now nothing goes in the air.
1115
00:59:30,612 --> 00:59:32,030
- Nothing.
- Goddamn it.
1116
00:59:32,990 --> 00:59:35,868
Where are we with the evacuation route?
How's this traffic moving?
1117
00:59:36,410 --> 00:59:38,536
[firefighter 2] You can see now
the fires across from Clark Road,
1118
00:59:38,537 --> 00:59:40,037
they're getting impacted by fire.
1119
00:59:40,038 --> 00:59:42,415
Pentz Road is gridlocked.
1120
00:59:42,416 --> 00:59:45,168
Skyway is still open. It's moving slow.
1121
00:59:45,169 --> 00:59:47,003
But what about all these abandoned cars?
1122
00:59:47,004 --> 00:59:48,713
We're having major access issues.
1123
00:59:48,714 --> 00:59:52,008
I want any vehicle blocking
traffic pushed off the road.
1124
00:59:52,009 --> 00:59:53,593
Okay? Get dozers in there if you have to.
1125
00:59:53,594 --> 00:59:54,510
[firefighter 2] Got it.
1126
00:59:54,511 --> 00:59:57,096
[chief] We can't lose
those four routes out.
1127
00:59:57,097 --> 00:59:58,724
We lose those, it's game over.
1128
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:02,019
- Hey, everybody! Listen up! Listen up!
- Everybody, quiet!
1129
01:00:02,686 --> 01:00:04,687
[chief] This is no longer a wildland fire.
1130
01:00:04,688 --> 01:00:06,105
This is burning home to home.
1131
01:00:06,106 --> 01:00:07,773
This is a town fire.
1132
01:00:07,774 --> 01:00:09,276
This is a mass casualty incident.
1133
01:00:10,194 --> 01:00:11,903
That's what we're dealing with.
1134
01:00:11,904 --> 01:00:15,198
So stay on with your people,
and do the best you can.
1135
01:00:15,199 --> 01:00:17,074
- Copy, Chief.
- [firefighter 3] Copy that.
1136
01:00:17,075 --> 01:00:19,161
[horns honking]
1137
01:00:33,717 --> 01:00:36,093
[students chattering]
1138
01:00:36,094 --> 01:00:38,471
Hey! What's the holdup?
1139
01:00:38,472 --> 01:00:40,599
Got a roadblock up ahead!
1140
01:00:41,350 --> 01:00:42,768
The freeway's jammed.
1141
01:00:43,352 --> 01:00:44,477
Shit!
1142
01:00:44,478 --> 01:00:46,563
[students chattering]
1143
01:00:48,065 --> 01:00:49,566
[horn honks]
1144
01:00:50,609 --> 01:00:51,652
Come on.
1145
01:00:52,694 --> 01:00:54,363
[Mary] Where do you need to get to?
1146
01:00:55,113 --> 01:00:57,366
- After we drop off the kids.
- Magalia.
1147
01:00:58,325 --> 01:01:00,035
My son's up there with his grandma.
1148
01:01:00,661 --> 01:01:02,579
I told them I'd be coming straight home.
1149
01:01:03,121 --> 01:01:04,665
Well, they'll get the evacuation alerts.
1150
01:01:05,249 --> 01:01:06,542
Won't they?
1151
01:01:08,585 --> 01:01:09,837
You signed up for them, right?
1152
01:01:10,921 --> 01:01:12,005
I...
1153
01:01:16,552 --> 01:01:18,261
You know, I-I kept getting the noti...
1154
01:01:18,262 --> 01:01:19,887
[sighs] ...notifications from the town hall
1155
01:01:19,888 --> 01:01:21,390
and I just kept putting it off.
1156
01:01:22,099 --> 01:01:23,767
Well, can his grandma drive?
1157
01:01:24,685 --> 01:01:25,686
Nope.
1158
01:01:26,895 --> 01:01:28,230
[horn honks]
1159
01:01:37,823 --> 01:01:38,990
[student 1] Miss Mary, help.
1160
01:01:38,991 --> 01:01:42,034
[student 2] Miss Mary,
there's smoke coming from that house.
1161
01:01:42,035 --> 01:01:44,120
[students chattering, screaming]
1162
01:01:44,121 --> 01:01:45,372
Fire on the left.
1163
01:01:46,832 --> 01:01:49,500
- Fire on the left. Bunch down.
- [Mary] Stay away from the windows.
1164
01:01:49,501 --> 01:01:51,335
Everybody stay off the windows.
1165
01:01:51,336 --> 01:01:53,671
[horn honking]
1166
01:01:53,672 --> 01:01:54,840
Hey.
1167
01:01:55,924 --> 01:01:57,009
Just let me in!
1168
01:01:57,759 --> 01:01:58,968
Come on!
1169
01:01:58,969 --> 01:02:00,804
Buddy, I got kids on the bus.
1170
01:02:02,681 --> 01:02:05,684
[Mary] Stay calm.
Kevin's trying to get us through.
1171
01:02:06,852 --> 01:02:08,687
Mary, take a seat.
1172
01:02:09,313 --> 01:02:11,147
- What? Why?
- Take a seat. I need you to drive.
1173
01:02:11,148 --> 01:02:12,607
- I need you to drive.
- I don't know how.
1174
01:02:12,608 --> 01:02:15,651
I've gotta clear traffic in the left lane.
I need you to take over the bus.
1175
01:02:15,652 --> 01:02:16,903
It's easy. Okay?
1176
01:02:16,904 --> 01:02:18,905
You put your foot on the brake,
when I say come, hit the gas.
1177
01:02:18,906 --> 01:02:21,699
It's easy. Okay? Yes, you do.
Hold the brake.
1178
01:02:21,700 --> 01:02:23,534
- Okay.
- When I say, "Come on," come on.
1179
01:02:23,535 --> 01:02:24,536
- Okay?
- Okay.
1180
01:02:26,872 --> 01:02:27,956
Stay seated.
1181
01:02:28,749 --> 01:02:29,749
Where's Kevin?
1182
01:02:29,750 --> 01:02:30,959
[officer] Back it up.
1183
01:02:34,046 --> 01:02:37,298
Back this truck up.
We gotta get this fire engine in.
1184
01:02:37,299 --> 01:02:39,801
- Let's go. Keep 'em going!
- Hey, hey, hey. What's going on?
1185
01:02:40,469 --> 01:02:42,553
- What're you doing? What's the plan?
- We got people trapped on Pentz.
1186
01:02:42,554 --> 01:02:43,638
Those people got priority.
1187
01:02:43,639 --> 01:02:45,264
- The main fire's over there.
- See the school bus?
1188
01:02:45,265 --> 01:02:48,267
I have 22 kids on that bus.
I gotta get them to their parents, okay?
1189
01:02:48,268 --> 01:02:49,393
[student] Where's Kevin?
1190
01:02:49,394 --> 01:02:51,270
[Kevin] I need you to hold traffic here
so we can come through.
1191
01:02:51,271 --> 01:02:53,564
I gotta clear this traffic
to let the fire truck through.
1192
01:02:53,565 --> 01:02:55,525
Get on the radio
and call fuckin' backup, will you?
1193
01:02:55,526 --> 01:02:58,778
Our comms are down. They've been
down for about 40 minutes or so.
1194
01:02:58,779 --> 01:03:01,365
Get back in your car.
We'll get you through when we can.
1195
01:03:02,407 --> 01:03:03,825
Get back in your car, sir.
1196
01:03:04,618 --> 01:03:06,244
- Get back in your car.
- [Kevin] Go left.
1197
01:03:06,245 --> 01:03:08,788
We gotta get the fire truck
and this bus through first.
1198
01:03:08,789 --> 01:03:09,873
Go! Go!
1199
01:03:12,751 --> 01:03:14,378
Go, go, go! Go, go, go!
1200
01:03:15,587 --> 01:03:16,588
Hold it!
1201
01:03:17,881 --> 01:03:19,590
- Go!
- [driver yelling]
1202
01:03:19,591 --> 01:03:20,633
Come on.
1203
01:03:20,634 --> 01:03:22,719
- [students clamoring]
- [horns honking]
1204
01:03:23,679 --> 01:03:24,680
Okay.
1205
01:03:25,556 --> 01:03:27,348
Let the fire truck and the bus through!
1206
01:03:27,349 --> 01:03:28,767
Come on, go, go, go, go!
1207
01:03:29,726 --> 01:03:30,727
Yes.
1208
01:03:31,728 --> 01:03:33,187
Go! Go!
1209
01:03:33,188 --> 01:03:34,438
[students clamoring]
1210
01:03:34,439 --> 01:03:35,940
Come on. Come on!
1211
01:03:35,941 --> 01:03:37,567
I-I don't want to hit you.
1212
01:03:37,568 --> 01:03:38,902
Are we gonna be okay?
1213
01:03:39,903 --> 01:03:40,737
Come on.
1214
01:03:45,492 --> 01:03:48,369
[siren wailing]
1215
01:03:48,370 --> 01:03:49,997
[Mary breathes heavily]
1216
01:03:51,081 --> 01:03:52,082
Come on!
1217
01:03:53,500 --> 01:03:55,084
[pants] Holy shit.
1218
01:03:55,085 --> 01:03:56,170
[Kevin] Yes!
1219
01:04:00,340 --> 01:04:01,757
[Mary] We did it. We made it through.
1220
01:04:01,758 --> 01:04:03,969
[students cheering]
1221
01:04:07,055 --> 01:04:07,972
What was wrong?
1222
01:04:07,973 --> 01:04:10,058
Radios are down. It's chaos.
1223
01:04:15,439 --> 01:04:17,148
A minute out, minute out.
1224
01:04:17,149 --> 01:04:18,941
Minute out! Are we ready?
1225
01:04:18,942 --> 01:04:23,030
963. We are one minute out from drop-off.
One minute out from drop-off.
1226
01:04:24,781 --> 01:04:26,074
Nice driving.
1227
01:04:28,202 --> 01:04:30,579
Thanks. Not so bad yourself.
1228
01:04:32,206 --> 01:04:33,207
[exhales]
1229
01:04:33,832 --> 01:04:35,709
You could always be a traffic cop
1230
01:04:37,127 --> 01:04:38,754
if you're looking for a fresh start.
1231
01:04:39,838 --> 01:04:41,672
I'd take a hard pass on that.
1232
01:04:41,673 --> 01:04:42,758
[chuckles]
1233
01:04:43,509 --> 01:04:44,510
[sighs]
1234
01:04:52,392 --> 01:04:55,853
Okay, kids. You can get your things ready.
Be ready to get off the bus.
1235
01:04:55,854 --> 01:04:58,357
I'm gonna get you to your parents
as quickly as we can.
1236
01:05:09,243 --> 01:05:12,079
[students clamoring]
1237
01:05:14,623 --> 01:05:16,249
- [student 1] Our parents...
- [student 2] The school's...
1238
01:05:16,250 --> 01:05:18,961
- [student 3] Oh, my God.
- [student 4] No! Where are they?
1239
01:05:21,797 --> 01:05:24,341
- [Kevin] No, no, no, no, no. No, no.
- [Mary] Where are they?
1240
01:05:26,093 --> 01:05:28,720
[students clamoring]
1241
01:05:29,805 --> 01:05:30,889
[Kevin] Oh, shit!
1242
01:05:31,974 --> 01:05:34,225
I want my mom. [cries]
1243
01:05:34,226 --> 01:05:36,061
I'll go see if anybody's there.
1244
01:05:46,697 --> 01:05:48,031
Hello!
1245
01:05:48,824 --> 01:05:50,242
Hello!
1246
01:05:52,911 --> 01:05:53,912
[Kevin grunts]
1247
01:05:54,496 --> 01:05:56,582
[Kevin coughing]
1248
01:06:02,254 --> 01:06:03,338
[pants]
1249
01:06:10,053 --> 01:06:11,721
[Mary] They're... They're not here.
1250
01:06:11,722 --> 01:06:13,432
There's no one here.
1251
01:06:15,267 --> 01:06:18,687
I don't know why they didn't warn us or...
1252
01:06:19,188 --> 01:06:20,272
What do we do?
1253
01:06:21,148 --> 01:06:22,231
I don't know.
1254
01:06:22,232 --> 01:06:23,483
What... [sighs]
1255
01:06:28,739 --> 01:06:31,365
We gotta get outta here.
We gotta get these kids out of here.
1256
01:06:31,366 --> 01:06:33,869
Try to get them down
to the main evac center in Chico.
1257
01:06:36,205 --> 01:06:38,289
And then we can come back for our kids.
1258
01:06:38,290 --> 01:06:39,749
[student] Miss Mary!
1259
01:06:39,750 --> 01:06:41,668
I'm coming. I'm coming.
1260
01:06:43,378 --> 01:06:44,379
[exhales sharply]
1261
01:06:50,302 --> 01:06:51,386
Sit down.
1262
01:06:51,887 --> 01:06:53,846
- [student 2] Ava needs you.
- What's wrong with Ava?
1263
01:06:53,847 --> 01:06:55,515
[student 2] She won't come
from under her seat.
1264
01:06:55,516 --> 01:06:57,225
- What? She's on the floor?
- Yeah, she needs you.
1265
01:06:57,226 --> 01:06:58,977
- Why? What's wrong with her?
- She won't get up!
1266
01:06:59,478 --> 01:07:02,146
- She's scared.
- [Mary] Ava. Honey, no.
1267
01:07:02,147 --> 01:07:03,397
[Ava sniffles]
1268
01:07:03,398 --> 01:07:05,399
[stammers] What are you doing down there?
1269
01:07:05,400 --> 01:07:06,901
[Ava breathing shakily]
1270
01:07:06,902 --> 01:07:08,778
- Are you okay?
- [whimpers]
1271
01:07:08,779 --> 01:07:09,863
No?
1272
01:07:10,822 --> 01:07:13,449
- It's all a little bit scary.
- [Kevin] Okay.
1273
01:07:13,450 --> 01:07:15,409
- Mary, are we good?
- [Mary] Yeah. Good to go.
1274
01:07:15,410 --> 01:07:16,495
Okay.
1275
01:07:25,087 --> 01:07:26,212
Are you scared?
1276
01:07:26,213 --> 01:07:28,339
- Yeah. [sniffles]
- [Mary] Yeah.
1277
01:07:28,340 --> 01:07:29,508
I know.
1278
01:07:30,092 --> 01:07:31,510
I'm scared too.
1279
01:07:32,094 --> 01:07:33,220
Can I give you a hug?
1280
01:07:34,638 --> 01:07:36,139
[Ava] Mm-hmm. [sniffles]
1281
01:07:38,642 --> 01:07:40,394
[Mary] There you go. Come on.
1282
01:07:51,113 --> 01:07:52,614
Be as brave as you can be.
1283
01:07:53,615 --> 01:07:56,200
[chattering on radio]
1284
01:07:56,201 --> 01:07:58,202
[firefighters yelling]
1285
01:07:58,203 --> 01:07:59,912
[siren wailing]
1286
01:07:59,913 --> 01:08:03,499
Chief, you've got 27,000 people
in Paradise,
1287
01:08:03,500 --> 01:08:04,792
12,000 in Magalia.
1288
01:08:04,793 --> 01:08:06,878
You've got maybe 8,000 people evacuated,
1289
01:08:06,879 --> 01:08:10,173
which means you've got 30,000 people
left in the footprint of the fire.
1290
01:08:10,174 --> 01:08:11,465
Finney, come here a second.
1291
01:08:11,466 --> 01:08:13,301
Update on the infrastructure.
How we doing with that?
1292
01:08:13,302 --> 01:08:16,094
So, infrastructure, Chief,
we got multiple schools in the town here.
1293
01:08:16,095 --> 01:08:19,139
We have two that are being impacted
immediately along-along Pentz road.
1294
01:08:19,140 --> 01:08:22,894
I also have a report that a school bus
came out of Ponderosa Elementary
1295
01:08:22,895 --> 01:08:25,478
with 22 kids on it.
It's unaccounted for right now, but--
1296
01:08:25,479 --> 01:08:26,938
Keep me updated on that.
1297
01:08:26,939 --> 01:08:28,358
We also have multiple gas stations.
1298
01:08:28,942 --> 01:08:30,193
We have two propane facilities.
1299
01:08:30,194 --> 01:08:33,237
One in Skyway in between Pentz and Clark
and another one in Magalia.
1300
01:08:33,238 --> 01:08:35,615
- Can you shut them down?
- I'll work on it.
1301
01:08:35,616 --> 01:08:38,034
[firefighter] Part of the evacuation
problem, power lines are coming down.
1302
01:08:38,035 --> 01:08:39,702
They cannot get across the road.
1303
01:08:39,703 --> 01:08:42,580
Firefighters are cutting them right now
to open it up, but we're getting reports--
1304
01:08:42,581 --> 01:08:43,873
Where's PG&E?
1305
01:08:43,874 --> 01:08:45,833
[firefighter] We're getting reports
of active power lines.
1306
01:08:45,834 --> 01:08:47,002
- [firefighter 2] PG&E.
- Yeah.
1307
01:08:47,669 --> 01:08:49,170
- [chief] I thought the power was off.
- It is.
1308
01:08:49,171 --> 01:08:50,254
Tell them what's going on.
1309
01:08:50,255 --> 01:08:51,589
Why is your power on?
1310
01:08:51,590 --> 01:08:53,215
It's... Look, we're working on it.
1311
01:08:53,216 --> 01:08:55,050
[firefighter] We got civilians
driving across power lines.
1312
01:08:55,051 --> 01:08:56,594
- We got firefighters cutting lines...
- I understand.
1313
01:08:56,595 --> 01:08:57,929
- I understand.
- ...and lines are still arcing?
1314
01:08:57,930 --> 01:09:00,473
- You told me the power was off.
- Look. All the automatic power is off.
1315
01:09:00,474 --> 01:09:02,308
Thereafter it's manual switches
that have to be done.
1316
01:09:02,309 --> 01:09:03,934
- We're working as fast as we can.
- I don't give a shit.
1317
01:09:03,935 --> 01:09:05,603
- I understand.
- Do you know what's going on here?
1318
01:09:05,604 --> 01:09:07,480
Shut the fucking power off!
1319
01:09:07,481 --> 01:09:09,023
- Okay.
- What the fuck is wrong with you?
1320
01:09:09,024 --> 01:09:12,652
I've got firefighters in there!
There's 30,000 people in there!
1321
01:09:12,653 --> 01:09:14,738
[horns honking]
1322
01:09:17,491 --> 01:09:19,493
[horns honking]
1323
01:09:21,995 --> 01:09:23,662
[Mary] What the hell are we gonna do?
1324
01:09:23,663 --> 01:09:25,289
[Kevin] The fire's behind us.
1325
01:09:25,290 --> 01:09:28,000
We gotta stay ahead of it
and stay due southwest.
1326
01:09:28,001 --> 01:09:29,544
That clear patch of sky,
that's our way out.
1327
01:09:29,545 --> 01:09:31,879
We stay out of the fire,
and we head down to Chico from there.
1328
01:09:31,880 --> 01:09:34,549
Um, Pentz and-and Clark are out,
1329
01:09:34,550 --> 01:09:37,009
- so that leaves Neal and Skyway.
- Yeah. Yeah.
1330
01:09:37,010 --> 01:09:38,219
[Kevin] Yeah.
1331
01:09:38,220 --> 01:09:40,179
[Mary] Neal is the furthest away,
but maybe that's good.
1332
01:09:40,180 --> 01:09:41,347
Maybe there's less traffic there.
1333
01:09:41,348 --> 01:09:43,808
[Kevin] But you have to take Roe Road
to get to Neal.
1334
01:09:43,809 --> 01:09:46,769
It's-It's narrow,
and it's full of 180 degree turns.
1335
01:09:46,770 --> 01:09:49,188
It's-it's not built
for a 35,000 pound bus.
1336
01:09:49,189 --> 01:09:50,731
We'd be trapped down there.
There's no way out.
1337
01:09:50,732 --> 01:09:53,358
- That really just leaves us Skyway.
- Skyway. Right.
1338
01:09:53,359 --> 01:09:56,280
- It's-It's wide, four lanes, straight.
- Yeah.
1339
01:09:58,448 --> 01:10:00,700
- Let's try Skyway. Okay.
- Skyway.
1340
01:10:00,701 --> 01:10:03,662
You don't know where they are, do you?
1341
01:10:04,246 --> 01:10:05,246
[Mary] What, honey?
1342
01:10:05,247 --> 01:10:06,582
Our parents.
1343
01:10:07,082 --> 01:10:08,500
You don't know where they are.
1344
01:10:10,419 --> 01:10:13,004
No, honey, we don't,
but we're gonna find them.
1345
01:10:13,005 --> 01:10:14,672
We're gonna find their parents,
right, Kevin?
1346
01:10:14,673 --> 01:10:16,632
Yeah. Yeah, we're gonna find them. Yeah.
1347
01:10:16,633 --> 01:10:18,552
I need you to take your seat, sweetie.
1348
01:10:20,095 --> 01:10:22,639
You wanna sit down up here?
1349
01:10:24,057 --> 01:10:26,017
- Have a seat.
- [Mary] Here.
1350
01:10:26,018 --> 01:10:27,227
Yeah, this is fine.
1351
01:10:30,105 --> 01:10:31,397
What's your name?
1352
01:10:31,398 --> 01:10:32,482
Toby.
1353
01:10:34,318 --> 01:10:35,484
Your parents work out of town?
1354
01:10:35,485 --> 01:10:36,904
My mom does.
1355
01:10:38,488 --> 01:10:39,823
I don't see my dad.
1356
01:10:43,744 --> 01:10:47,288
I'll tell you what, Toby.
We're gonna get you back to your mom.
1357
01:10:47,289 --> 01:10:49,540
You hear me?
We're gonna get you back to your mom.
1358
01:10:49,541 --> 01:10:52,628
We're gonna get you back to your son,
and we're gonna get me back to mine.
1359
01:10:53,212 --> 01:10:54,296
That's what's going to happen.
1360
01:10:55,088 --> 01:10:56,131
Okay?
1361
01:10:58,634 --> 01:10:59,467
Okay.
1362
01:10:59,468 --> 01:11:02,470
[firefighter] So, Chief, the fire is
spreading through most of Paradise,
1363
01:11:02,471 --> 01:11:04,805
both business and residential areas,
1364
01:11:04,806 --> 01:11:07,517
and we're getting reports
of significant structure loss,
1365
01:11:07,518 --> 01:11:09,435
and Air Attack is still grounded
with no ETA.
1366
01:11:09,436 --> 01:11:10,520
- Copy that.
- Hey, Chief.
1367
01:11:10,521 --> 01:11:12,188
I've-I've checked in with division.
1368
01:11:12,189 --> 01:11:15,942
Last report of that bus was coming down
Clark Road south of Elliott. Okay?
1369
01:11:15,943 --> 01:11:17,443
I just got word from Division Hotel
1370
01:11:17,444 --> 01:11:19,445
that Paradise Elementary
is well involved in fire.
1371
01:11:19,446 --> 01:11:20,572
They're not there.
1372
01:11:40,050 --> 01:11:41,385
[Kevin] Mary, can you see these cables?
1373
01:11:42,219 --> 01:11:43,303
- Yeah.
- [Kevin] All right.
1374
01:11:45,973 --> 01:11:47,723
[explosions]
1375
01:11:47,724 --> 01:11:50,017
- [Mary] Oh, my God. Watch out.
- [students screaming]
1376
01:11:50,018 --> 01:11:51,395
Got it. Got it. Got it.
1377
01:11:51,895 --> 01:11:53,355
[horn honks]
1378
01:11:54,189 --> 01:11:55,357
[horn honks]
1379
01:11:57,109 --> 01:11:58,777
- [yells]
- [Mary] Kevin, on the right! Kevin!
1380
01:12:01,822 --> 01:12:03,031
Power line on the right!
1381
01:12:04,074 --> 01:12:05,074
[people screaming]
1382
01:12:05,075 --> 01:12:07,243
[students screaming]
1383
01:12:07,244 --> 01:12:10,038
- [Kevin] The whole road's coming down.
- Oh, my God. [pants]
1384
01:12:13,792 --> 01:12:15,377
It's falling! It's falling!
1385
01:12:16,753 --> 01:12:18,255
Watch out! Watch out!
1386
01:12:19,339 --> 01:12:20,883
- [screams]
- Oh, my God.
1387
01:12:22,384 --> 01:12:23,552
[students screaming]
1388
01:12:24,428 --> 01:12:25,679
[Kevin] Going left!
1389
01:12:29,224 --> 01:12:31,059
It's gonna cut through to Skyway.
1390
01:12:31,560 --> 01:12:32,935
We can make it. It's just down here.
1391
01:12:32,936 --> 01:12:35,564
[Mary] Kids, hold on! Hold onto something!
1392
01:12:41,820 --> 01:12:43,071
- Hang on!
- Oh, my God.
1393
01:12:49,995 --> 01:12:51,163
[Kevin] Shit!
1394
01:12:53,081 --> 01:12:56,502
[sirens wailing]
1395
01:12:58,587 --> 01:12:59,629
[firefighter 1 speaks indistinctly]
1396
01:12:59,630 --> 01:13:02,465
[firefighter 2] Keep it in check!
Back it up! Come on back!
1397
01:13:02,466 --> 01:13:04,009
[clamoring]
1398
01:13:05,636 --> 01:13:08,347
[inhales sharply] We're blocked.
We're totally blocked in.
1399
01:13:13,977 --> 01:13:19,190
We gotta get off, find a way to Roe,
and try to make a way out on Neal.
1400
01:13:19,191 --> 01:13:21,193
It's our only chance right now.
1401
01:13:22,152 --> 01:13:23,986
- How are we gonna get out of here?
- Look for a way off. Left or right.
1402
01:13:23,987 --> 01:13:25,280
I'm looking. I'm looking.
1403
01:13:26,949 --> 01:13:29,408
I don't see anything. There's no way out.
I don't see... It's everywhere.
1404
01:13:29,409 --> 01:13:32,037
It's all around us.
How are we gonna get out of here?
1405
01:13:33,205 --> 01:13:34,288
Oh, my God!
1406
01:13:34,289 --> 01:13:36,249
[screaming]
1407
01:13:36,250 --> 01:13:37,625
Look straight ahead.
1408
01:13:37,626 --> 01:13:39,669
- Don't look at that.
- [Kevin] Straight ahead!
1409
01:13:39,670 --> 01:13:41,838
Get out the fucking car!
1410
01:13:41,839 --> 01:13:44,048
[clamoring]
1411
01:13:44,049 --> 01:13:45,634
Kevin, there's looters.
1412
01:13:46,134 --> 01:13:48,177
- Open up. Let me in!
- Get off the windows!
1413
01:13:48,178 --> 01:13:49,303
Stay away from the windows!
1414
01:13:49,304 --> 01:13:51,640
- Down! Get down!
- [Kevin] Stay away from the windows!
1415
01:13:52,766 --> 01:13:54,517
[grunts] Give us the bus!
1416
01:13:54,518 --> 01:13:55,852
[grunts]
1417
01:13:55,853 --> 01:13:58,020
- Mary!
- [looter grunts] Open it!
1418
01:13:58,021 --> 01:14:00,314
He has a gun! Kevin, he has a gun!
1419
01:14:00,315 --> 01:14:01,941
[looter] Open it!
1420
01:14:01,942 --> 01:14:04,235
- [grunts]
- Down! Duck. I said duck.
1421
01:14:04,236 --> 01:14:06,320
Open the door! [grunts]
1422
01:14:06,321 --> 01:14:08,865
- [Mary] We have to get out of here.
- [looter grunts]
1423
01:14:08,866 --> 01:14:10,157
We have to get out of here.
1424
01:14:10,158 --> 01:14:12,743
On the left.
On the left, Kevin, there's a gap.
1425
01:14:12,744 --> 01:14:14,371
Kevin, there's a gap. Go left.
1426
01:14:15,414 --> 01:14:16,874
Left. Go, go, go, go.
1427
01:14:19,418 --> 01:14:20,878
It's closing. It's closing.
1428
01:14:23,589 --> 01:14:25,423
[Kevin] We're through. We're through.
1429
01:14:25,424 --> 01:14:26,549
[sighs]
1430
01:14:26,550 --> 01:14:28,635
- [sirens wailing]
- [clamoring]
1431
01:14:29,761 --> 01:14:31,220
[officer] Stay with your family, please.
1432
01:14:31,221 --> 01:14:34,308
This is the safe area, sir.
We need you to stay here...
1433
01:14:35,392 --> 01:14:37,602
- Let's go. Let's go.
- [person] That's my daughter.
1434
01:14:37,603 --> 01:14:39,562
- [firefighter 1] Out of the way.
- [firefighter 2] Watch your back.
1435
01:14:39,563 --> 01:14:41,148
- Go!
- Move!
1436
01:14:42,524 --> 01:14:44,526
[Ruby] Just keep going.
Just keep going. Just keep going.
1437
01:14:45,360 --> 01:14:46,527
Whoa, whoa. Hold on.
1438
01:14:46,528 --> 01:14:48,779
[Ruby] I'm with the, uh,
Paradise Unified School District.
1439
01:14:48,780 --> 01:14:50,156
- Where are you from?
- Straight up.
1440
01:14:50,157 --> 01:14:51,490
[Ruby] Thank you.
That's where the busses are.
1441
01:14:51,491 --> 01:14:53,076
Okay. Thank you. Just keep going.
1442
01:14:55,579 --> 01:14:57,622
This is the... Yeah, there they are.
There they are.
1443
01:14:57,623 --> 01:14:58,957
Let me out. Let me out. Let me out.
1444
01:15:01,543 --> 01:15:03,085
- Cesar?
- [Cesar] Ruby.
1445
01:15:03,086 --> 01:15:05,255
Cesar. You heard any news?
1446
01:15:05,964 --> 01:15:08,007
- Nothing.
- 963's not here?
1447
01:15:08,008 --> 01:15:09,343
[Cesar] Hasn't made it back yet.
1448
01:15:09,927 --> 01:15:11,345
Shit. [sighs]
1449
01:15:12,554 --> 01:15:14,222
[colleague] Ruby, the parents are here.
1450
01:15:14,223 --> 01:15:17,184
Okay. Okay. Okay.
1451
01:15:20,646 --> 01:15:22,563
[students sobbing]
1452
01:15:22,564 --> 01:15:25,399
[Kevin] 963 to Base. 963 to Base.
Do you read?
1453
01:15:25,400 --> 01:15:27,486
[static on radio]
1454
01:15:28,320 --> 01:15:31,197
- Miss Mary, I don't have any water left.
- 963 to all vehicles.
1455
01:15:31,198 --> 01:15:33,950
- Do you read? Any vehicles, do you read?
- I'm thirsty. I'm way too hot.
1456
01:15:33,951 --> 01:15:35,493
Okay. Okay.
1457
01:15:35,494 --> 01:15:36,912
[sighs] Here, honey.
1458
01:15:37,454 --> 01:15:39,497
Get a folder or a... a notebook
or something...
1459
01:15:39,498 --> 01:15:41,707
Hey, listen, we just got off Skyway.
It was a no-go.
1460
01:15:41,708 --> 01:15:42,834
Here. Use it like this.
1461
01:15:42,835 --> 01:15:45,586
We're gonna try
and-and-and make our way out through Neal.
1462
01:15:45,587 --> 01:15:48,256
Stay out of the fire.
Get out that way. It's our only shot.
1463
01:15:48,257 --> 01:15:50,299
Miss Mary, we really need some water.
1464
01:15:50,300 --> 01:15:52,177
Hang in there, sweetie.
I know. It's really hot.
1465
01:15:54,054 --> 01:15:56,138
Kevin, the kids are not gonna last.
1466
01:15:56,139 --> 01:15:58,642
They need water.
They're hot, and they're thirsty.
1467
01:16:02,604 --> 01:16:04,605
[students screaming]
1468
01:16:04,606 --> 01:16:06,859
- [student 1] What's happening?
- [student 2] What is that?
1469
01:16:07,401 --> 01:16:08,694
[Mary] What the hell is that?
1470
01:16:09,945 --> 01:16:12,738
[student 3] I can't breathe.
It's coming through the vents.
1471
01:16:12,739 --> 01:16:14,323
[students coughing]
1472
01:16:14,324 --> 01:16:17,202
The smoke. The smoke is getting in.
Kevin, the smoke is coming in.
1473
01:16:17,786 --> 01:16:19,121
It's coming through the AC.
1474
01:16:19,955 --> 01:16:21,205
[Mary] Then turn it off.
1475
01:16:21,206 --> 01:16:22,748
It's gonna make the heat worse, but okay.
1476
01:16:22,749 --> 01:16:24,125
We have to try something.
1477
01:16:24,126 --> 01:16:25,459
[AC powering down]
1478
01:16:25,460 --> 01:16:26,962
[Kevin] Okay, it's off. Off.
1479
01:16:32,551 --> 01:16:34,677
We must be inside the smoke column.
1480
01:16:34,678 --> 01:16:37,181
- [pants] Watch out.
- Yeah. Yeah. I see it. I see it.
1481
01:16:40,267 --> 01:16:41,268
[Kevin] Meadow Creek Park.
1482
01:16:42,769 --> 01:16:44,688
Yeah. Yeah. There's... There's a back exit.
1483
01:16:45,397 --> 01:16:46,480
[Mary] What?
1484
01:16:46,481 --> 01:16:48,525
I worked here one summer as a kid.
1485
01:16:49,568 --> 01:16:51,194
It leads out to Roe Road,
1486
01:16:51,195 --> 01:16:54,530
and then we can get over to Neal,
and then we're out. Okay?
1487
01:16:54,531 --> 01:16:56,158
- [Mary] Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
- Yes.
1488
01:16:59,244 --> 01:17:01,246
Miss. Ma'am.
1489
01:17:01,872 --> 01:17:03,998
- Yeah?
- There's something wrong with Shannon.
1490
01:17:03,999 --> 01:17:06,042
- She needs your help.
- She's wheezing a little bit.
1491
01:17:06,043 --> 01:17:08,002
- [Shannon wheezing]
- [Mary] What's wrong, honey?
1492
01:17:08,003 --> 01:17:10,087
- Okay. Okay. Don't talk. Don't talk.
- [breathing heavily]
1493
01:17:10,088 --> 01:17:13,050
Just breathe slowly, okay? Slowly.
Try to slow down your breathing.
1494
01:17:13,675 --> 01:17:15,426
Okay. You just need to drink some water.
1495
01:17:15,427 --> 01:17:18,679
Um, can everybody
just look in their backpack
1496
01:17:18,680 --> 01:17:22,351
and make sure you don't have,
like, a juice box or something?
1497
01:17:24,269 --> 01:17:27,356
Kevin, we... we have to find water
or she's gonna stroke out.
1498
01:17:27,940 --> 01:17:29,691
We have to get off the bus now.
1499
01:17:32,611 --> 01:17:34,070
- Right there. Right there.
- Yep, yep.
1500
01:17:34,071 --> 01:17:35,863
- [Mary] Yes. Yes. Okay.
- Yep, yep.
1501
01:17:35,864 --> 01:17:38,616
[Kevin] Okay. We can't stop for long.
I'll be two minutes.
1502
01:17:38,617 --> 01:17:39,992
[Mary] No, no, no, no, no, no.
1503
01:17:39,993 --> 01:17:41,577
You need to stay on the bus.
1504
01:17:41,578 --> 01:17:43,664
If the fire comes, you have to drive them.
1505
01:17:44,331 --> 01:17:47,084
Let me go. I can do it.
Two minutes. I'll be right back.
1506
01:17:47,626 --> 01:17:48,669
I can do it.
1507
01:17:49,169 --> 01:17:50,295
I can do it.
1508
01:17:51,380 --> 01:17:52,922
[student] Miss Mary, where are you going?
1509
01:17:52,923 --> 01:17:55,008
[student 2] Miss Mary.
Miss Mary, come back.
1510
01:17:57,970 --> 01:17:59,805
[grunts, coughs]
1511
01:18:01,807 --> 01:18:04,351
- [students crying]
- [student 3] Where did Mary go?
1512
01:18:12,067 --> 01:18:13,110
Shit.
1513
01:18:14,444 --> 01:18:15,445
[grunts]
1514
01:18:16,321 --> 01:18:18,531
[chiming]
1515
01:18:18,532 --> 01:18:20,533
[student 4] Do you know
where Miss Mary is?
1516
01:18:20,534 --> 01:18:22,410
[Kevin] She...
She just went to look for some water.
1517
01:18:22,411 --> 01:18:24,078
Just-Just give her a minute.
1518
01:18:24,079 --> 01:18:25,621
[student 1] Please come back, Miss Mary.
1519
01:18:25,622 --> 01:18:26,874
[student 2] Where is she going?
1520
01:18:27,499 --> 01:18:29,292
[student 3] I can't see her.
1521
01:18:29,293 --> 01:18:30,544
[coughing]
1522
01:18:36,300 --> 01:18:37,384
[Mary coughs]
1523
01:18:42,264 --> 01:18:43,515
[Mary] Come on.
1524
01:18:44,057 --> 01:18:45,224
Come on.
1525
01:18:45,225 --> 01:18:46,767
[grunting]
1526
01:18:46,768 --> 01:18:48,394
[student] Come back.
1527
01:18:48,395 --> 01:18:50,856
[students coughing, crying]
1528
01:18:57,863 --> 01:19:00,866
[horn honking]
1529
01:19:13,045 --> 01:19:14,212
[honking continues]
1530
01:19:14,213 --> 01:19:15,297
[Mary] Yes. Yes.
1531
01:19:17,716 --> 01:19:19,717
[grunts, pants] Got it.
1532
01:19:19,718 --> 01:19:21,803
Oh, my God. Got it.
1533
01:19:27,226 --> 01:19:28,351
Mary!
1534
01:19:28,352 --> 01:19:30,853
[students clamoring]
1535
01:19:30,854 --> 01:19:32,939
Mary!
1536
01:19:32,940 --> 01:19:35,275
[Mary panting, groaning]
1537
01:19:51,208 --> 01:19:52,334
[students scream]
1538
01:19:54,253 --> 01:19:55,462
Mary!
1539
01:19:56,129 --> 01:19:58,131
[crying]
1540
01:20:00,217 --> 01:20:01,426
Mary!
1541
01:20:03,804 --> 01:20:05,763
- Mary!
- [student 1] What do we do now?
1542
01:20:05,764 --> 01:20:07,683
- [explosion]
- [screams]
1543
01:20:12,771 --> 01:20:14,940
- Mary!
- [Mary panting] I'm coming!
1544
01:20:15,566 --> 01:20:18,193
I'm coming! [panting]
1545
01:20:18,777 --> 01:20:20,361
- Go, go, go, go.
- [Mary] Help me. Help me.
1546
01:20:20,362 --> 01:20:22,030
Get the water. Get the water.
1547
01:20:24,575 --> 01:20:25,658
[student 2] Miss Mary's here.
1548
01:20:25,659 --> 01:20:27,535
[panting]
1549
01:20:27,536 --> 01:20:29,288
[door creaks, closes]
1550
01:20:34,126 --> 01:20:35,793
- [Mary] Okay.
- You okay?
1551
01:20:35,794 --> 01:20:38,337
I'm okay. I'm okay. I'm okay.
1552
01:20:38,338 --> 01:20:41,049
- [engine revving]
- [students screaming]
1553
01:20:44,052 --> 01:20:45,137
[sniffles]
1554
01:20:45,721 --> 01:20:46,805
[exhales deeply]
1555
01:20:47,472 --> 01:20:49,725
Can somebody get this water to Shannon?
1556
01:20:53,103 --> 01:20:54,605
- [yells]
- Oh, my God!
1557
01:20:56,982 --> 01:20:57,816
[grunts]
1558
01:21:00,944 --> 01:21:03,071
[Mary] Duck! Down! Cover your heads!
1559
01:21:09,453 --> 01:21:10,621
- [yells]
- [students scream]
1560
01:21:11,830 --> 01:21:13,498
- Shit!
- [Mary] Oh, my God!
1561
01:21:14,791 --> 01:21:16,084
[groans]
1562
01:21:17,753 --> 01:21:20,254
Everybody, hold on!
Stay away from the windows.
1563
01:21:20,255 --> 01:21:21,840
Everyone, hold on!
1564
01:21:22,508 --> 01:21:25,719
Oh, my God.
We gotta go right. That's the way out.
1565
01:21:31,892 --> 01:21:33,977
- [screams]
- [Mary] Oh, my God!
1566
01:21:38,440 --> 01:21:39,274
[Kevin] Hold on!
1567
01:21:42,402 --> 01:21:45,531
Okay. Stay down. Stay down.
1568
01:21:47,699 --> 01:21:49,325
On the right. On the right. On the right.
1569
01:21:49,326 --> 01:21:51,912
- That burnt building on the right.
- [screams]
1570
01:21:53,664 --> 01:21:55,666
This is the way out. [pants] That's it.
1571
01:21:56,416 --> 01:21:59,169
Here it is. This is the exit.
This takes us to Roe.
1572
01:22:06,093 --> 01:22:08,303
[Ruby] Hello, everyone.
If I could get y'all in.
1573
01:22:09,429 --> 01:22:11,098
Uh, my name is Ruby Bishop.
1574
01:22:11,765 --> 01:22:13,599
I am the school's
director of transportation,
1575
01:22:13,600 --> 01:22:15,435
and I just wanna give you an update.
1576
01:22:16,019 --> 01:22:17,436
I know y'all are worried,
1577
01:22:17,437 --> 01:22:20,982
but I want you to know first and foremost
that your children were evacuated
1578
01:22:20,983 --> 01:22:24,318
from Ponderosa Elementary
earlier this morning. Okay?
1579
01:22:24,319 --> 01:22:25,696
[parent] When will we know more?
1580
01:22:26,238 --> 01:22:30,157
Unfortunately,
shortly after leaving the school,
1581
01:22:30,158 --> 01:22:32,410
the fire destroyed
our radio communication.
1582
01:22:32,411 --> 01:22:36,789
So we have not had contact
with the bus since it left Ponderosa.
1583
01:22:36,790 --> 01:22:37,915
Wait, you don't know where they are?
1584
01:22:37,916 --> 01:22:41,752
[Ruby] All I know is that they're probably
somewhere over in East Paradise.
1585
01:22:41,753 --> 01:22:43,504
[parent 2] East Paradise is on fire!
1586
01:22:43,505 --> 01:22:48,217
I know, but I want you to know
that both police and fire command
1587
01:22:48,218 --> 01:22:50,887
are looking for them out there, okay?
1588
01:22:50,888 --> 01:22:52,889
They're doing their best,
1589
01:22:52,890 --> 01:22:56,601
but you must know that your children
are on the bus
1590
01:22:56,602 --> 01:22:59,437
with a driver
and a teacher named Mary Ludwig.
1591
01:22:59,438 --> 01:23:01,772
- Some of you may know Mrs. Ludwig?
- [parents murmuring]
1592
01:23:01,773 --> 01:23:03,524
- Okay.
- Which... Which driver is it?
1593
01:23:03,525 --> 01:23:06,360
Yes. His-His name is Kevin McKay.
He's a new driver to our district.
1594
01:23:06,361 --> 01:23:08,280
- [parents 3] New driver?
- [Ruby] Listen...
1595
01:23:09,239 --> 01:23:11,199
- Everybody, please.
- [parents clamoring]
1596
01:23:11,200 --> 01:23:12,283
Please. I know.
1597
01:23:12,284 --> 01:23:14,327
I know this is really difficult news.
1598
01:23:14,328 --> 01:23:15,995
- He's a good driver.
- [Ruby] Kevin McKay.
1599
01:23:15,996 --> 01:23:20,082
I can vouch for Kevin McKay,
as can all of my drivers.
1600
01:23:20,083 --> 01:23:23,253
He is a good man,
and he is gonna do everything he can.
1601
01:23:24,129 --> 01:23:25,505
You have to trust him.
1602
01:23:25,506 --> 01:23:30,552
I trust him, and right now
he is all we have got out there. Okay?
1603
01:23:36,266 --> 01:23:39,268
[electricity crackling]
1604
01:23:39,269 --> 01:23:41,355
[Kevin] This is it.
[panting] This is Roe Road.
1605
01:23:42,439 --> 01:23:43,524
Fire's behind us.
1606
01:23:44,650 --> 01:23:48,278
Okay, a couple of miles on this
should get us out towards Neal.
1607
01:23:49,071 --> 01:23:50,072
Okay.
1608
01:23:51,240 --> 01:23:52,241
[Mary] Okay.
1609
01:23:56,662 --> 01:23:58,455
Rocks on the right. Rocks on the right.
1610
01:24:04,002 --> 01:24:05,087
Watch your left.
1611
01:24:09,007 --> 01:24:11,884
- There's a drop-off.
- [student 1] I'm scared.
1612
01:24:11,885 --> 01:24:13,470
[Mary] We're gonna be okay, guys.
1613
01:24:13,971 --> 01:24:16,807
You don't need to worry.
We're gonna get through this, okay?
1614
01:24:21,687 --> 01:24:22,855
[student 2] Watch out.
1615
01:24:23,939 --> 01:24:24,940
[Kevin] Mary.
1616
01:24:26,483 --> 01:24:28,234
[stammers] What do I have over there?
1617
01:24:28,235 --> 01:24:29,485
[stammers] Four feet?
1618
01:24:29,486 --> 01:24:31,989
[Mary] Two. [sighs] Maybe two and a half.
1619
01:24:34,533 --> 01:24:35,867
[pants]
1620
01:24:35,868 --> 01:24:38,369
[firefighter] Chief,
our fire in Butte Creek Canyon
1621
01:24:38,370 --> 01:24:40,955
and our fire in the west branch
have merged in Paradise.
1622
01:24:40,956 --> 01:24:42,707
It's burning aligned with the wind,
1623
01:24:42,708 --> 01:24:45,042
burning to the southwest portion
of Paradise.
1624
01:24:45,043 --> 01:24:47,378
The only area that hasn't burned,
1625
01:24:47,379 --> 01:24:50,882
and the fire is heading in this direction,
is this area right here.
1626
01:24:50,883 --> 01:24:52,633
Foster Road. Roe Road.
1627
01:24:52,634 --> 01:24:54,510
Hey, these are tight roads.
1628
01:24:54,511 --> 01:24:56,721
A lot of structures in there.
It's all downhill.
1629
01:24:56,722 --> 01:24:59,640
You've got numerous spot fires
being reported down here already.
1630
01:24:59,641 --> 01:25:02,560
This area's gonna be fully engulfed
in fire very soon.
1631
01:25:02,561 --> 01:25:04,562
We have got zero resources
to put down here.
1632
01:25:04,563 --> 01:25:06,063
They're all engaged up here.
1633
01:25:06,064 --> 01:25:07,148
Whatever's down here,
1634
01:25:07,149 --> 01:25:09,859
they're gonna have to figure out for
themselves how to get out of Paradise.
1635
01:25:09,860 --> 01:25:12,279
We've got nothing to give 'em.
Absolutely nothing.
1636
01:25:26,543 --> 01:25:28,169
[students coughing]
1637
01:25:28,170 --> 01:25:29,545
[student 1] Miss Mary.
1638
01:25:29,546 --> 01:25:31,048
[student 2]
What are they doing over there?
1639
01:25:32,090 --> 01:25:33,342
[Mary] Who are those people?
1640
01:25:35,552 --> 01:25:37,554
- [coughing]
- What are they doing?
1641
01:25:38,639 --> 01:25:40,641
Why are they going back towards the fire?
1642
01:25:50,859 --> 01:25:52,319
[person] Here! Here!
1643
01:25:53,737 --> 01:25:56,907
- [person 2] Yo! Hey! Hey! Stop! Stop!
- [students clamoring]
1644
01:25:57,866 --> 01:25:59,826
[Kevin] No, no, no, no.
Come around this side.
1645
01:26:00,702 --> 01:26:02,119
[stammers] Is there a way out down there?
1646
01:26:02,120 --> 01:26:03,621
[person 2] That fire's burning
across the ridge.
1647
01:26:03,622 --> 01:26:05,623
- People are dying down there.
- We got out on foot.
1648
01:26:05,624 --> 01:26:08,668
Do not go that way.
The trailer park, everything is burning.
1649
01:26:08,669 --> 01:26:10,336
Everything. There's no way out.
1650
01:26:10,337 --> 01:26:12,922
- What the hell are we gonna do?
- I-I just need to get to Neal Road.
1651
01:26:12,923 --> 01:26:15,466
No, you can't go to Neal Road.
It's on fire.
1652
01:26:15,467 --> 01:26:18,136
You don't want these kids
to see what we just saw.
1653
01:26:19,096 --> 01:26:20,180
Trust me.
1654
01:26:20,764 --> 01:26:21,765
Do not go that way.
1655
01:26:22,474 --> 01:26:24,058
Hey, we're gonna take our chances.
1656
01:26:24,059 --> 01:26:25,727
Shit. [sighs]
1657
01:26:26,228 --> 01:26:27,437
[person 3] Good luck.
1658
01:26:29,314 --> 01:26:30,439
[engine stops]
1659
01:26:30,440 --> 01:26:31,607
What do we do?
1660
01:26:31,608 --> 01:26:32,900
[student 1] Why have we stopped?
1661
01:26:32,901 --> 01:26:34,443
- [student 2] No, keep going.
- I wanna go home.
1662
01:26:34,444 --> 01:26:37,488
Okay. Everyone, we just need
to stay quiet and calm, please.
1663
01:26:37,489 --> 01:26:40,074
And Kevin and I,
we'll, uh, figure this out.
1664
01:26:40,075 --> 01:26:41,659
[student 3] We need to keep moving.
1665
01:26:41,660 --> 01:26:44,371
Okay. I'm gonna go have a look.
Check this ridge and this ridge.
1666
01:26:44,955 --> 01:26:47,331
Get the kids ready in case
we have to take them off the bus, okay?
1667
01:26:47,332 --> 01:26:48,417
[Mary] Okay.
1668
01:26:49,793 --> 01:26:51,795
[student 4] Kevin, what are you doing?
Don't go.
1669
01:26:54,923 --> 01:26:56,883
- Okay. Okay.
- [students clamoring]
1670
01:26:56,884 --> 01:26:57,967
[panting]
1671
01:26:57,968 --> 01:27:00,219
[Mary] Okay. Kids, this is what
I need for us to do.
1672
01:27:00,220 --> 01:27:03,473
I need us to stay quiet.
I need us to stay calm.
1673
01:27:04,057 --> 01:27:07,310
Kevin is going to check
if it's okay for us to get off the bus.
1674
01:27:07,311 --> 01:27:08,561
- In the meantime...
- [coughs]
1675
01:27:08,562 --> 01:27:11,272
...I want you to grab your backpack
and make a line in the aisle.
1676
01:27:11,273 --> 01:27:14,984
Slowly, quietly,
as calmly as you can, please.
1677
01:27:14,985 --> 01:27:16,236
[sighs]
1678
01:27:19,031 --> 01:27:20,616
[panting]
1679
01:27:39,593 --> 01:27:40,594
[exhales deeply]
1680
01:27:43,931 --> 01:27:45,015
Come on.
1681
01:27:46,934 --> 01:27:48,936
[coughing]
1682
01:28:17,256 --> 01:28:20,216
[Mary] Okay. As soon as Kevin gets back,
we're gonna file off, okay?
1683
01:28:20,217 --> 01:28:21,300
[students] Yes, ma'am.
1684
01:28:21,301 --> 01:28:22,593
[Mary] We're gonna stay really close.
1685
01:28:22,594 --> 01:28:25,681
You're gonna find someone's hand
to hold, okay?
1686
01:28:26,431 --> 01:28:27,850
Stay really, really close.
1687
01:28:28,600 --> 01:28:30,476
- [knocks on door]
- [student] Look. Kevin, he's back.
1688
01:28:30,477 --> 01:28:31,687
[Mary] There he is.
1689
01:28:32,396 --> 01:28:34,438
[Kevin pants] Get the kids. Seat the kids.
1690
01:28:34,439 --> 01:28:35,773
- We're staying on the bus.
- Okay.
1691
01:28:35,774 --> 01:28:37,567
- Staying on the bus.
- Okay. Everybody, sit down.
1692
01:28:37,568 --> 01:28:39,777
- [student] Wait. Wait. What?
- Everybody, sit.
1693
01:28:39,778 --> 01:28:41,779
Miss Mary,
I thought you said we were gonna go.
1694
01:28:41,780 --> 01:28:44,198
I did, honey. But... [stammers]
...we're gonna stay on the bus.
1695
01:28:44,199 --> 01:28:45,700
Uh, Henry, you're...
1696
01:28:45,701 --> 01:28:48,953
Take a seat. We're gonna...
Kevin and I are gonna figure out what...
1697
01:28:48,954 --> 01:28:50,997
- What happened?
- We're surrounded.
1698
01:28:50,998 --> 01:28:53,165
- Oh, my God.
- There's nowhere to go.
1699
01:28:53,166 --> 01:28:57,420
What? No. No, no, no.
That's impossible. It's impossible.
1700
01:28:57,421 --> 01:28:59,672
- There's gotta be a way out. [stammers]
- Listen to me.
1701
01:28:59,673 --> 01:29:02,592
- We're here on Roe.
- Okay. Okay.
1702
01:29:02,593 --> 01:29:03,968
- [Kevin] This is Neal.
- Okay.
1703
01:29:03,969 --> 01:29:05,803
[Kevin] I saw it all from the ridge, okay?
1704
01:29:05,804 --> 01:29:10,725
The fire's on all sides.
It's here, it's here, here and here.
1705
01:29:10,726 --> 01:29:13,394
- Oh, my God.
- We gotta st... We gotta stay here.
1706
01:29:13,395 --> 01:29:15,981
We gotta... We gotta stay on the bus.
1707
01:29:16,481 --> 01:29:17,733
We're gonna stay on the bus.
1708
01:29:18,317 --> 01:29:19,358
No.
1709
01:29:19,359 --> 01:29:21,777
- [grunts] No. We...
- We're gonna stay on the bus.
1710
01:29:21,778 --> 01:29:24,572
No. We... No. No. No.
We could go out on foot.
1711
01:29:24,573 --> 01:29:25,948
Those other people, they went out on foot.
1712
01:29:25,949 --> 01:29:27,618
- We could try on foot.
- No. No way.
1713
01:29:29,161 --> 01:29:31,622
They won't last two minutes out there.
There's no way.
1714
01:29:32,206 --> 01:29:34,332
They won't last...
They won't last two minutes.
1715
01:29:34,333 --> 01:29:36,501
[both panting]
1716
01:29:36,502 --> 01:29:37,586
Gotta stay.
1717
01:29:38,712 --> 01:29:40,963
What? What, we stay here?
1718
01:29:40,964 --> 01:29:42,131
We just...
1719
01:29:42,132 --> 01:29:46,385
What do you... [stammers]
We're just gonna wait? What do...
1720
01:29:46,386 --> 01:29:49,055
- Maybe... Maybe the fire doesn't...
- What if the fire comes, but we--
1721
01:29:49,056 --> 01:29:51,349
Maybe it does
or maybe it doesn't come, okay?
1722
01:29:51,350 --> 01:29:52,475
I d... I don't know.
1723
01:29:52,476 --> 01:29:55,145
All I do know is we are in
the one place where the fire is not.
1724
01:29:56,188 --> 01:29:58,774
And we're alive right now.
And we got a little bit of time.
1725
01:30:00,192 --> 01:30:01,193
Stay.
1726
01:30:01,944 --> 01:30:02,944
That's our only chance.
1727
01:30:02,945 --> 01:30:04,028
Are you sure?
1728
01:30:04,029 --> 01:30:05,113
Yes.
1729
01:30:12,079 --> 01:30:13,830
[whispers] But what if the fire comes?
1730
01:30:14,456 --> 01:30:16,207
What if the fire comes, Kevin?
1731
01:30:16,208 --> 01:30:18,835
[panting]
1732
01:30:18,836 --> 01:30:19,962
Listen to me.
1733
01:30:21,880 --> 01:30:23,047
[stammers, sobs]
1734
01:30:23,048 --> 01:30:26,134
What do we do with the kids
if the fire comes?
1735
01:30:28,387 --> 01:30:29,680
We gotta stay on the bus.
1736
01:30:30,222 --> 01:30:31,931
Okay. [inhales shakily]
1737
01:30:31,932 --> 01:30:33,433
[whimpers]
1738
01:30:34,226 --> 01:30:35,644
- Okay?
- Okay. [sobs]
1739
01:30:37,521 --> 01:30:38,605
Okay.
1740
01:30:39,106 --> 01:30:41,191
We'll stay on the... We'll stay on the bus.
1741
01:30:42,234 --> 01:30:43,485
We'll stay on the bus.
1742
01:30:45,153 --> 01:30:47,155
[crying]
1743
01:31:13,307 --> 01:31:14,975
[students coughing]
1744
01:31:19,146 --> 01:31:20,355
[inhales deeply]
1745
01:31:24,568 --> 01:31:25,986
[sighs]
1746
01:31:29,406 --> 01:31:31,699
[breathing heavily]
1747
01:31:31,700 --> 01:31:35,078
[Kevin] Mary, hey. I need your help.
1748
01:31:35,996 --> 01:31:37,331
We gotta buy some time.
1749
01:31:38,707 --> 01:31:43,295
I'm gonna cut my shirt up
into small pieces. All right?
1750
01:31:46,131 --> 01:31:47,131
What are you doing?
1751
01:31:47,132 --> 01:31:50,426
I'm gonna make some filters
for their mouths.
1752
01:31:50,427 --> 01:31:53,221
Wet them with some water.
It can soothe their throats.
1753
01:31:53,222 --> 01:31:56,349
Let's move the kids to the back of the bus
away from the... the air vents.
1754
01:31:56,350 --> 01:31:59,018
I'm gonna tape as many vents
as I can, okay?
1755
01:31:59,019 --> 01:32:00,103
Okay.
1756
01:32:01,146 --> 01:32:03,272
Chief, the water supply is failing.
1757
01:32:03,273 --> 01:32:05,359
We've got no pressure in the hydrants.
1758
01:32:06,485 --> 01:32:07,694
We are losing this thing.
1759
01:32:11,532 --> 01:32:13,450
Can I talk to you over here for a second?
1760
01:32:14,785 --> 01:32:16,244
[Mary] So we're gonna rest
for a little bit,
1761
01:32:16,245 --> 01:32:18,120
and I wanna move you
to the back of the bus
1762
01:32:18,121 --> 01:32:19,872
so that you're further away
from the smoke, okay?
1763
01:32:19,873 --> 01:32:20,790
[student] Okay, Miss Mary.
1764
01:32:20,791 --> 01:32:23,752
Honey, can we move
to the back of the bus, all right?
1765
01:32:24,253 --> 01:32:25,254
Come on, this way.
1766
01:32:27,840 --> 01:32:30,300
That should help to keep
some of the smoke out, okay?
1767
01:32:31,134 --> 01:32:34,638
So we're getting reports
of people burning to death in their cars.
1768
01:32:35,264 --> 01:32:38,267
And we've got hundreds of people
running for their lives on foot.
1769
01:32:38,767 --> 01:32:40,560
[students coughing]
1770
01:32:40,561 --> 01:32:43,188
[Mary] Okay, girls.
We're gonna be here for a little while.
1771
01:32:43,772 --> 01:32:46,525
I want you to take this filter,
1772
01:32:47,067 --> 01:32:49,986
put it over your mouth
and your nose and breathe, okay?
1773
01:32:49,987 --> 01:32:52,864
[firefighter] If we don't play this right,
we're gonna wake up in the morning
1774
01:32:52,865 --> 01:32:56,618
to hundreds or, I don't know,
even thousands of fatalities.
1775
01:32:57,411 --> 01:32:59,913
Okay? So at this point,
we can do one thing.
1776
01:33:00,497 --> 01:33:03,166
We can fight fire or save lives.
1777
01:33:03,667 --> 01:33:04,750
We are out of time.
1778
01:33:04,751 --> 01:33:07,795
I want you to put it over your mouth
and your nose and breathe.
1779
01:33:07,796 --> 01:33:10,047
- It's gonna help with the smoke, okay?
- Okay.
1780
01:33:10,048 --> 01:33:12,885
- [Mary] Yeah? How are you doing, sweetie?
- How long are we staying here?
1781
01:33:14,636 --> 01:33:16,470
[Mary] Thank you for
taking care of her, sweetie.
1782
01:33:16,471 --> 01:33:17,556
Mmm.
1783
01:33:18,557 --> 01:33:20,516
[Mary] Ava, I want you
to put this over your mouth.
1784
01:33:20,517 --> 01:33:21,768
[chief] Okay, listen up.
1785
01:33:23,896 --> 01:33:25,147
Cease all firefighting.
1786
01:33:25,981 --> 01:33:27,732
Get with your resources inside town
1787
01:33:27,733 --> 01:33:29,693
and tell them to save lives
wherever they can.
1788
01:33:30,652 --> 01:33:31,778
That's all we can do now.
1789
01:33:32,279 --> 01:33:33,279
[firefighter] Copy that, Chief.
1790
01:33:33,280 --> 01:33:35,365
[firefighters chattering]
1791
01:33:40,370 --> 01:33:42,330
[person coughs] Hurry up.
1792
01:33:42,331 --> 01:33:43,582
[coughs]
1793
01:33:59,932 --> 01:34:01,934
[students coughing]
1794
01:34:09,525 --> 01:34:10,526
[sniffs]
1795
01:34:14,613 --> 01:34:15,656
[sighs]
1796
01:34:16,698 --> 01:34:18,450
The windows are so hot.
1797
01:34:22,579 --> 01:34:24,539
- I have to warn the kids.
- No, no, no. I can do it.
1798
01:34:24,540 --> 01:34:27,042
- No, no. I can... I'm good. I can do it.
- I... I know... I know you can.
1799
01:34:28,126 --> 01:34:29,836
Rest for a second. I... I can do it.
1800
01:34:29,837 --> 01:34:31,505
Okay. Thank you.
1801
01:34:36,218 --> 01:34:37,219
[Kevin] Hey, guys.
1802
01:34:37,845 --> 01:34:40,263
The walls and the windows
are really hot, so... so don't touch them.
1803
01:34:40,264 --> 01:34:42,391
Okay? I want you to come...
lean towards the aisle.
1804
01:34:42,975 --> 01:34:45,434
Here we go.
Can you come this way a little bit?
1805
01:34:45,435 --> 01:34:47,104
The floor's really hot too.
1806
01:34:48,689 --> 01:34:50,148
Let's do the, um...
1807
01:34:51,233 --> 01:34:52,692
What do you do at story time?
1808
01:34:52,693 --> 01:34:56,280
Let's go crisscross? Apple sauce?
1809
01:34:56,864 --> 01:34:57,864
Say it with me.
1810
01:34:57,865 --> 01:35:00,074
- [students] Crisscross apple sauce.
- Crisscross.
1811
01:35:00,075 --> 01:35:03,703
That's it, that's it. That's it.
Good. Good job, buddy. Okay.
1812
01:35:03,704 --> 01:35:04,872
[student] Is it nighttime?
1813
01:35:06,081 --> 01:35:07,082
What's that, sweetie?
1814
01:35:08,083 --> 01:35:09,542
Is it nighttime?
1815
01:35:09,543 --> 01:35:11,503
No, no, no. It's not nighttime.
1816
01:35:12,087 --> 01:35:15,214
It's just... It's smoke.
It's in between us and the sunshine. Okay?
1817
01:35:15,215 --> 01:35:17,925
Are we gonna be okay? [whimpers]
1818
01:35:17,926 --> 01:35:21,345
Yeah. [sighs]
We are gonna be... Yes, we are.
1819
01:35:21,346 --> 01:35:24,098
And that smoke's gonna go away,
and the sun's gonna come back out.
1820
01:35:24,099 --> 01:35:25,184
Okay?
1821
01:35:25,934 --> 01:35:28,352
Toby, you okay?
1822
01:35:28,353 --> 01:35:29,605
I want my daddy.
1823
01:35:36,528 --> 01:35:37,529
Yeah.
1824
01:35:39,865 --> 01:35:41,074
Yeah, I know you do.
1825
01:35:44,077 --> 01:35:46,496
He knows you do too. Okay?
1826
01:35:48,707 --> 01:35:49,958
Listen.
1827
01:35:51,126 --> 01:35:56,047
He's... He's doing everything
he can to get to you.
1828
01:35:56,048 --> 01:35:57,966
Okay? And he's trying his best.
1829
01:35:59,134 --> 01:36:01,553
- Okay? Toby, look at me.
- [sniffles]
1830
01:36:04,640 --> 01:36:05,641
Okay?
1831
01:36:08,685 --> 01:36:11,313
[breathing heavily]
1832
01:36:13,440 --> 01:36:15,025
[Kevin sighs]
1833
01:36:16,360 --> 01:36:18,028
How much time do we have?
1834
01:36:20,322 --> 01:36:21,823
Another hour maybe.
1835
01:36:22,950 --> 01:36:24,952
Those filters won't last much longer.
1836
01:36:25,911 --> 01:36:28,914
Maybe we should just let them go to sleep.
1837
01:36:32,459 --> 01:36:33,585
It's better.
1838
01:36:34,419 --> 01:36:36,254
[inhales shakily] Then if the fire comes...
1839
01:36:36,255 --> 01:36:38,507
- [Kevin] No, no, no. No. No. No.
- [cries]
1840
01:36:39,174 --> 01:36:42,177
We can't... We can't let ourselves
talk like that. Okay?
1841
01:36:44,555 --> 01:36:45,556
Okay.
1842
01:36:46,056 --> 01:36:47,057
[inhales sharply]
1843
01:36:56,108 --> 01:36:58,110
[water running, splashing]
1844
01:37:09,246 --> 01:37:11,581
[chief] Good afternoon.
I'm Chief Martinez.
1845
01:37:11,582 --> 01:37:12,874
[reporters clamoring]
1846
01:37:12,875 --> 01:37:14,709
At approximately 6:30 a.m. this morning,
1847
01:37:14,710 --> 01:37:18,797
a fire was reported near the Pulga Bridge,
eight miles east of Paradise.
1848
01:37:20,757 --> 01:37:22,341
The fire spread rapidly,
1849
01:37:22,342 --> 01:37:24,844
overwhelming our best efforts
to contain it.
1850
01:37:24,845 --> 01:37:26,929
And at approximately 8:30 a.m.
this morning,
1851
01:37:26,930 --> 01:37:29,933
the fire entered the town of Paradise.
1852
01:37:31,143 --> 01:37:33,436
Unfortunately, moments ago,
I was forced to give the order
1853
01:37:33,437 --> 01:37:37,691
to cease firefighting in Paradise
and focus solely on protecting life.
1854
01:37:39,735 --> 01:37:42,945
Right now, there's still thousands
of residents trapped
1855
01:37:42,946 --> 01:37:44,781
or attempting to flee the fire.
1856
01:37:46,491 --> 01:37:51,830
And while we are doing everything
we humanly can to assist them...
1857
01:37:53,957 --> 01:37:55,375
despite our best efforts,
1858
01:37:56,168 --> 01:37:59,170
this community is facing
the full force of the fire alone.
1859
01:37:59,171 --> 01:38:00,797
- [reporters murmuring]
- [shutters clicking]
1860
01:38:05,093 --> 01:38:09,097
So we ask for your patience,
1861
01:38:10,766 --> 01:38:14,436
and I'll hand it over to Sheriff Thomas,
who may have more information for you.
1862
01:38:15,687 --> 01:38:17,438
We have to get back to work. Thank you.
1863
01:38:17,439 --> 01:38:19,315
[reporters clamoring]
1864
01:38:19,316 --> 01:38:22,569
I just wanna add one thing.
1865
01:38:24,196 --> 01:38:26,197
Every year the fires get bigger.
1866
01:38:26,198 --> 01:38:27,699
And there's more of them.
1867
01:38:32,829 --> 01:38:35,498
We're being damn fools.
That's the truth. Thank you.
1868
01:38:35,499 --> 01:38:38,460
- [reporters clamoring]
- [shutters clicking]
1869
01:38:39,211 --> 01:38:41,296
[students coughing, wheezing]
1870
01:38:43,841 --> 01:38:46,009
This is gonna sound silly to you...
1871
01:38:48,804 --> 01:38:53,642
but I've only ever left Paradise one time.
1872
01:38:54,393 --> 01:38:55,477
Oh.
1873
01:38:56,603 --> 01:38:57,812
How's that?
1874
01:38:57,813 --> 01:38:59,231
To go to Ohio.
1875
01:39:01,859 --> 01:39:03,193
Two weeks.
1876
01:39:04,361 --> 01:39:05,904
On my friend's farm.
1877
01:39:08,991 --> 01:39:12,744
And one time, Steven and I
did a weekend in San Francisco.
1878
01:39:14,162 --> 01:39:17,749
I thought that I'd be safe here.
1879
01:39:18,709 --> 01:39:20,377
Just stay in Paradise.
1880
01:39:21,420 --> 01:39:23,839
Stay with him. Follow the rules.
1881
01:39:26,341 --> 01:39:28,260
And nothing bad could truly happen.
1882
01:39:30,470 --> 01:39:32,306
But that's no way to live a life.
1883
01:39:34,099 --> 01:39:35,434
Hiding away.
1884
01:39:37,477 --> 01:39:40,606
[sighs] That's one thing I'd change
if we get out of here.
1885
01:39:42,274 --> 01:39:43,692
I'd take a trip.
1886
01:39:45,611 --> 01:39:46,737
[breathes shakily]
1887
01:39:50,365 --> 01:39:52,576
I'd take Jake to Legoland.
1888
01:39:53,911 --> 01:39:54,912
[sniffles]
1889
01:39:55,454 --> 01:39:57,748
Or Africa maybe. I don't know.
1890
01:39:58,248 --> 01:39:59,249
[sighs]
1891
01:39:59,750 --> 01:40:01,293
I would love to see elephants.
1892
01:40:03,295 --> 01:40:06,798
Animals at a watering hole.
1893
01:40:07,883 --> 01:40:09,885
Anything really. Just anything.
1894
01:40:12,262 --> 01:40:13,722
Before it's too late.
1895
01:40:15,599 --> 01:40:17,934
[chuckling]
1896
01:40:17,935 --> 01:40:20,604
[chuckles] Why are you laughing?
1897
01:40:22,898 --> 01:40:24,190
Ah.
1898
01:40:24,191 --> 01:40:26,817
I've spent my entire life
trying to escape Paradise,
1899
01:40:26,818 --> 01:40:31,073
and now for some reason
all I wanna do is make a go of it here.
1900
01:40:32,574 --> 01:40:33,951
Why did you wanna leave?
1901
01:40:35,369 --> 01:40:38,120
[Kevin] You know, when I first got
the call to go pick up the kids,
1902
01:40:38,121 --> 01:40:41,208
uh, I started to think that maybe...
1903
01:40:44,253 --> 01:40:48,965
maybe I could earn a second chance
if I just got the kids out safe,
1904
01:40:48,966 --> 01:40:50,133
you know?
1905
01:40:51,635 --> 01:40:54,137
Except they don't always
work that way. Second chances.
1906
01:40:55,931 --> 01:40:57,266
[Mary] Why do you say that?
1907
01:41:01,854 --> 01:41:04,857
The last time I spoke to my dad
was 28 years ago.
1908
01:41:08,569 --> 01:41:11,405
I was 16. It was Christmas Eve. And, uh...
1909
01:41:14,616 --> 01:41:15,701
We got into a fight.
1910
01:41:16,869 --> 01:41:19,871
Something about me
not finishing what I started.
1911
01:41:19,872 --> 01:41:23,375
Same kind of shit,
same fight it always was.
1912
01:41:24,168 --> 01:41:25,502
Anyway, he, uh...
1913
01:41:26,628 --> 01:41:29,130
He came at me, you know,
1914
01:41:29,131 --> 01:41:31,716
like he... like he usually had
and done so many times before.
1915
01:41:31,717 --> 01:41:34,219
And for whatever reason,
on this night, I snapped.
1916
01:41:35,470 --> 01:41:40,474
I went at him s... screaming
and swinging and next thing I knew,
1917
01:41:40,475 --> 01:41:43,227
I slammed the front door
and cursed his name.
1918
01:41:43,228 --> 01:41:45,062
Told him I never wanted to see him again.
1919
01:41:45,063 --> 01:41:47,149
He then said, "I wish you were dead."
1920
01:41:48,609 --> 01:41:50,611
First, it was pride, you know?
1921
01:41:52,446 --> 01:41:57,451
Then after a few years,
my life went to shit.
1922
01:41:59,870 --> 01:42:01,079
Turned to shame.
1923
01:42:02,915 --> 01:42:06,668
A few months ago, I was working
the night shift back in Reno.
1924
01:42:08,670 --> 01:42:10,255
And that's when I got the call.
1925
01:42:11,840 --> 01:42:13,174
It was my mom.
1926
01:42:13,175 --> 01:42:15,384
She said, "You know, Kevin,
your dad's real sick.
1927
01:42:15,385 --> 01:42:16,553
You need to come home."
1928
01:42:18,055 --> 01:42:19,139
Drove all night.
1929
01:42:21,016 --> 01:42:22,142
But I was too late.
1930
01:42:24,603 --> 01:42:26,021
He died that morning.
1931
01:42:28,190 --> 01:42:31,360
I was too late... as a son.
1932
01:42:33,820 --> 01:42:35,572
Now I'm too late as a father.
1933
01:42:40,869 --> 01:42:43,246
How many times my son's reached out to me?
1934
01:42:43,247 --> 01:42:45,332
[crying]
1935
01:42:49,503 --> 01:42:50,587
And now it's too late.
1936
01:42:51,880 --> 01:42:52,965
I didn't show up.
1937
01:42:53,507 --> 01:42:54,508
[sniffles]
1938
01:43:02,850 --> 01:43:04,059
[Mary] It's not too late.
1939
01:43:07,104 --> 01:43:08,272
It's up to you.
1940
01:43:12,317 --> 01:43:14,068
- Fire!
- [gasps]

01:43:16,697 --> 01:43:17,947
Oh, shit.
1943
01:43:17,948 --> 01:43:19,157
[Mary] There's fire.
1944
01:43:26,290 --> 01:43:28,125
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
1945
01:43:31,879 --> 01:43:33,337
- [student] Behind us.
- Fire in the back.
1946
01:43:33,338 --> 01:43:34,881
There's fire in the back.
I'll be right back.
1947
01:43:34,882 --> 01:43:41,345
Kevin! Kevin! Kevin, it's in the back.
It's in the back of the bus.
1948
01:43:41,346 --> 01:43:43,431
- There's fire.
- Here. Go, go, go. Okay.

01:43:43,432 --> 01:43:45,099
Oh, God. [pants]

We're out. It's out.

- Go back to the bus.

Go back to the bus. Go back to the bus!
