Terrifying footage shows escape from Paradise fire

Apocalyptic bodycam footage from the morning the Camp Fire broke out in California shows the town of Paradise being swallowed by the inferno, as people desperately try to flee.

The horrific scenes were captured by Butte County Deputy Aaron Parmley who on November 8 came to Paradise searching for four nurses who needed help escaping the blaze.

After suffering a car breakdown, Parmley found himself on foot amid heavy smoke.
