A Northern California sheriff's office released harrowing bodycamera footage of a deputy who was nearly overrun by flames as he helped with evacuations the night the deadly Camp Fire swept through Paradise .
Butte County Sheriff's Deputy Aaron Parmley was searching for a group of stranded nurses when he was forced to abandon his vehicle and continue the search on foot surrounded by flames.
As smoke blackened the sky, Parmley activated his body camera in the belief it would capture the last moments of his life. He found the nurses and they set off on foot on the ember-lined road.
