Video shows a man surrounded by a raging wildfire in California’s Sierra National Forest — one of 207 people trapped there before helicopters carried them to safety overnight into Sunday. The footage shows RVs and other vehicles burning as the camera pans to what looks like a post-apocalyptic landscape, with flames ripping through densely wooded hills just beyond a popular camping area near the Mammoth Pool Reservoir. “Just wanted to show you, if we make it out of this.. We are completely trapped. There’s fire on all sides, all around us. All the roads are burnt,” says the man filming, identified as Jeremy Remington by a local reporter who shared the video on Twitter. The California Office of Emergency Services said Black Hawk and Chinook choppers were used in the rescues that began late Saturday and ended on Sunday morning.
