ABC30 presents an original documentary, Mountain Strong: Surviving the Creek Fire, a comprehensive look at one of the state's most significant natural disasters and how a community is coming together to build from the ashes.
The documentary includes captivating first-hand experiences from volunteer firefighters who fought to keep the fire at bay, the Army National Guard pilots who risked their lives saving hundreds of people trapped by the flames, the Fresno County Sheriff's deputies who aided in the evacuation, and local families who are still struggling to rebuild their community.

These people trying to help...they deserve a LOT of respect

Just worked an 800 acre fire here in Wisconsin and I've been on large grass fires before that, but having the fire get into the trees and above your head makes it a different monster entirely. Other firefighters with me said they would rather run into a structure fire and I have to agree. Lots of respect for wildland firefighters!

This community has been a part of my life for the better part of 40 years. I love every one of them.

We lost our home in the Camp fire of 2018 in Paradise so my heart goes out to all the people effected by this fire. Thanks for such a wonderful documentary that shows the heroics of the teams that saved so many people, like those helicopter workers. It was a horrible thing and I get it.

Whether male or female...all demonstrated a deep love for the area they lived or, live in. It is my hope that you all get to return "home" whatever that means or looks like for each and everyone of you! God's strength moving forward. I would count myself lucky to live amongst you!

The airlift will go down as legendary. I hope those National Guard personnel got the highest citation(s) possible.

RIP to Robert and all the victims

WHY don’t they practice conservation as in the past? Power companies must keep the space around their lines brush free. Go back to controlled burns. Do not allow development of certain areas. In those areas with homes, ban certain types of foliage. Do not allow eucalyptus trees or brush in developed areas. No trees over a certain height. Have fire ponds and alternate escape routes. No occupancy until those things are in place.

Out of a sad story emerged a great story. The spirit of the community is exemplary!

How much did shutting down logging industry have to do? Loggers here leave the land clear of dead trees, the forest floor is clear of dead trees. Too much fuel and lack of forest management caused this fire to be so big.

Our cabin was on the south side of Shaver village; we were lucky and it wasn't burned. So sad for Huntington and Shaver Lake communities

Nature doesn't hate us, we just don't respect it and so when these things happen we play the victim of natures "wrath". Nature is doing what it is designed to do, it's not plotting against you.

Real heroes!

Hotshot wakeup has a podcast in its archives on the camp fire.. answers a lot of the questions about this fire.

Watching this monster blow up from the eastside of the range was unreal, the next 2 months were a smoky hell

Growing up in Oregon fires and smoke in the summer were commonplace but it does seem they've gotten worse and to the comment above I agree there needs to be more brush clearing, prescribed burns so that wildfires aren't as destructive.
