Storm chaser Tanner Schaaf recently captured a harrowing moment as he and a friend attempted to save a home from the devastating Palisades Fire in Rustic Canyon, north of Los Angeles. In a video shared by Schaaf, his friend is seen using a garden hose as flames engulf the property while a smoke alarm blares in the background.
As the situation quickly escalated, Schaaf urged his friend to evacuate, recognizing the futility of their efforts. 'Let's get out of here. We tried. We tried, bro. We tried our best,' Schaaf can be heard saying as they hurried towards the exit.
Realizing the severity of the situation, Schaaf made the difficult decision to abandon their rescue attempt. 'Just let it burn. God protect this house,' he said, acknowledging that there was nothing more they could do to save the property.
Following the incident, inquiries were made to Schaaf to gather more details and ascertain the current status of the house in question. The video serves as a stark reminder of the unpredictable and destructive nature of wildfires, highlighting the bravery and resilience of individuals like Schaaf and his friend who risked their safety in the face of such a formidable force of nature.
