    "Dad, we can't get out!" A father and son make a mad dash to escape the Howe Ridge Fire in Glacier National Park through the only road out from their campsite, flanked by flames. They were ultimately rescued by park rangers after abandoning their vehicle. https://abcn.ws/2BoRp5Q pic.twitter.com/knSoZhNbDu

        I'm so glad they are safe. That made me cry, dad so calm being a rock for his understandably terrified son.

        WHY DID THEY WAIT SO LONG TO LEAVE?!? Was that extra day of vacation worth risking not only their live but those of the rangers?

        I live maybe 20 yards from Glacier Park that fire has been burning for well over a week now. Maybe check into those things before you go camping. While I am glad they are safe they had no business being that close.

        Well they could have easily have died doing that.. if you see fires you don't go toward it .. if it was on a driving test ..i can only imagine how many people would failed on first time on that decision. Think the dad must have taken too much calm pills 😱

        As i understand it they were surrounded by fire and it was either stay or burn or try this

        Rangers were watching over them. Rangers. Not just “somebody.” Federal govt employees rescued them. Our employees. Taking care of us is their job. Well done.

        Excuse me..they were out there alone for awhile driving through fire and had to get out and leave the car and was assistant by the rangers doing the job they get paid to do. Don’t come at me like that; my believe system is my belief system. Don’t need your two cents; period.

        Sounds like they were camping and this was the only way out. Terrifying.

        I wonder what the situation behind them was that they couldn’t have turned around and went back that direction.

        I need to see a map of this area before I can further comments/judgment 😆 my gut instinct would’ve been to get away from the fire but like I said, I need to see the aerial map of this area 🤷🏻‍♀️

        I’d have probably gone the other direction too tbh. Beat feet downhill as quickly as possible.👀
