CNN team describes fleeing Southern California wildfire as flames surrounded their vehicle

CNN  

CNN — CNN national correspondent Natasha Chen and her team were wrapping up a long day of reporting on the devastating wildfires racing through the Los Angeles area on Tuesday, as the sun set over the scorched landscape. “We were there from about noon until just after 6 p.m. local time when we had just finished our last live shot,” Chen recounted to CNN’s Rosemary Church. I’ve never felt anything like it.” CNN photojournalist Tom Larson noted it felt like what he had encountered in war zones, Jaeger said. “One person said it almost doesn’t seem real or doesn’t make sense,” Chen recalled. “Once they’re downhill, you only have the Pacific Coast Highway to get either north or south,” she said.
