Allyn Pierce didn’t think he would survive last week when flames surrounded his truck as he attempted to escape the deadly blaze in Paradise, California.
Instead of driving to safety, the registered nurse decided to turn around — back into the flames.
Pierce, who reportedly manages the ICU at Adventist Health Feather River Hospital, helped evacuate patients from the burning hospital as the massive Camp Fire drew near Thursday morning. Shortly after, he rounded up a few of his colleagues attempting to drive them to safety.
One lesson learnt from this is that not all heroes come with capes, this one comes in a Toyota Tundra.
