Apocalyptic bodycam footage from the morning the Camp Fire broke out in California shows the flame-ridden neighborhood of Paradise being swallowed by the inferno, as people desperately try to flee the fast-moving blaze.

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 fleeing the advancing wrath of nature. After suffering a car breakdown, Parmley found himself on foot amid heavy smoke, making it extremely difficult to breathe.

Doubting his odds of making it out of Paradise alive, the deputy turned on his body-borne camera to record what the man thought would be the last minutes of his life.

Thank God he made it out alive. Others weren't so lucky.
