Firefighter's family describes fleeing flames as their home burned
A mother and daughter described the frightening experience of trying to rescue their animals, all while their home burned in the Mountain Fire.
"We got half of our animals out right when it started, and came back, and she got through to get the rest of the animals out. My husband works for the Ventura County Fire Department, so they were up there trying to put out the fire," the mother said.
Her daughter saw the roof of their home engulfed in flames.
"Our roof is pretty burned up. I was in there getting our ducks, and as I was in there, the pond was catching flames as I was standing there trying to get them out," the daughter described.
The pair said they plan on heading to their extended family's home in Santa Paula with their animals.
