The rubber tires on the car of this police officer were as sturdy as his conviction.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Wow!
I can’t imagine anything more frightening.
Couldn’t of been a AL, MS, TN cop. They would of kept ppl in it.
Did he catch the arsonists though ?
Wow they have some amazing police officers there.❤
When there's a forest fire, it's always important to evacuate.
If you can't. You'll have to find a place that's below ground level. Because all that stuff moves upwards.
Unless you're a firefighter. It's just not safe to put it out yourself.
You can't teach fire rescue? Make it a mission on Call of Duty, then maybe our officers will be properly trained on how to correctly handle themselves during a fire.
Amazing footage.
And Republicans continue to deny climate change.
Glad you made it I don't like cops but I hate dying by fire more stay safe
Thank you Officer Morgan for the work you do.❤
No radio personality or reality show celebrity deserves the adulation this man should receive.
Action hero
Yes 😂
Started by an arsonist just like the Greek and Canada ones
People are really idiots, all the police and firefighters who have died because of all these people.
I swear my blood pressure went up watching that video!!!!!!
September 8th be prepared
What an amazing person! That is what a hero looks like.
The world will die by fire. Man’s killing the planet.
Lucky the road wasn't blocked in the middle of that
If you hear a first responder panicking, that should be the universal sign to RUN…but apparently not…
Imagine how you must feel if you are wheelchair bound, lack mobility or transport and incapable of escaping the fires yourself. I mean we see how terrified and vocal the officer is but honestly does he recognise the level of privilege he has?
How frustrating it must be to have citizens resisting his attempts to save their lives.
Why do people need to be convinced to evacuate? Do they really believe they have a chance against a huge fire barreling towards them? It boggles the mind how invincible they think they are.
Trump will be the next president of USA. It will be jail time for all the fake news too.
So amazing. God is good.
September is the first month of Hurricane season we also get the most hurricanes in this month every year. BEWARE! Can't the materialists that we love & call family just stay home on dangerous weather days for all of us. Doing our home inside things to do. Have hobbies. I'm building a personal library and learning "Hand Book binding" got the stuff & books thru AMazon and ready to have some Mylar put on my books as well, it's what the libraries put on to protect the books. I love books and to read so I usually do. God bless & protect my loved ones & all everybodys' also out of Spokane this pm. nite. my Sabbath nite prayers are for you, hope you are OK & safe with your boys & Susie. God bless Frank & Susie.
prayers to you , its happening here in Texas & Lousiana too !
dude….
He drove through the fire for 5 seconds. 🙄
Hey NBCNews, why is the Nightly News Full Broadcast – Sept. 1 not available for people from Taiwan???
OMG! He risked his own life! People, please listen!
So very glad that you were able to escape the wildfire!! Stay safe
🙏🙏
