(Video) “Driving Into Armageddon,” Wildfire Burns Thousands of Acres In Front of Car

Walker, CA – Dubbed the Mountain View Fire, the blaze erupted at midday Tuesday in Walker, along U.S. 395 near the California-Nevada state line. Governor Gavin Newsom issued an emergency declaration on Thursday, as reported here.

Fierce winds fueled the flames to spread into a neighborhood, destroying more than 90 structures including some homes. Almost all residents of Walker and nearby Coleville were displaced.

A tweet was posted, showing someone driving towards the flame. The audio had an eerie sound, reminding the viewers that the sound comes from the flames burning everything it touches.

The fire scorched more than 32 square miles before overnight rain and snow doused it out. An investigation as to what ignited the fire is ongoing.

The 69-year-old woman that died in the Mountain View Fire that ripped through Walker in Mono County has been identified.

Mono County Sheriff’s Officials report Sallie Joseph’s remains were found in the debris of her burned-out home in Walker.
