Footage from a California firefighter's body camera gives an up-close look at crews efforts to put out a raging house fire in September.

On Sept. 15, 18 San Bernardino County firefighters responded to a residential blaze in Hesperia, according to the department, which released video and photos from the call Tuesday. Crews could see heavy smoke and flames coming from the home's roof once they reached the scene.

While trying to put out the fire, firefighters can be seen pulling down parts of the ceiling as well as using a power saw to cut open a garage door. It took about an hour to extinguish the blaze, and no injuries were reported.
