A fire near Castaic, California, dubbed the Charlie Fire, had grown to 3,380 acres by Sunday, September 23, with 20 percent containment.
Footage shows the Los Padres Hotshots, from the US Department of Forestry, battling the blaze on Lake Hughes Road.
Freelance journalist Gillis Jones, who recorded the video, said the goal of the operation was to prevent the fire from jumping the road later in the day and threatening the center of Castaic.
No structures were damaged, according to local firefighters, and an evacuation order had been lifted. Credit: Gillis Jones via Storyful
