Beale Fire and Emergency Services Battalion Chief Daniel Figaratto was keeping an eye out on the Park Fire from his house.
At first, the fire seemed to be far enough away that he, his family would be safe.
But, things changed quickly. He didn't like what he was seeing.
It was time to go -- immediately.
After rounding up the horses, he and his family that includes his pregnant wife and five children headed out.
Though their vehicle was hit by fire retardant, they made it to safety. Their house burned to the ground.
"If I wasn't home, I don't think my wife and kids would've made it out," he said.
