Dramatic footage shows police rescuing campers stranded by Whittier fire

Dramatic footage shows police officers attempting to reach a holiday camp cut off by a forest fire. 88 children and 26 adult staff had to be evacuated from Circle V Ranch when the Whittier wildfire spread dangerously close to the summer camp. The video shows officers driving down a dirt road towards the camp only to find the path blocked by fire and fallen trees. Search and rescue teams successfully evacuated the campers after four hours with the help of a bulldozer.
