This has to be the most memorable image of the California fires.
Brian Williams reported on this last evening on NBC News. It's an image captured by LA Times photographer, Karen Tapia-Anderson. The silvery images are fire-fighters who pulled out their cocoon-like "fire shelters" in an attempt to protect themselves. They were rescued.
Taken at Lake Forest, Orange County, California.
