Two hikers got trapped near the summit of Baring Mountain just as the Bolt Creek Fire started raging over the ridges Saturday. FOX13
The men set out for their 6-hour hike very early Saturday morning, unaware that aWhen Steve Cooper and Matt Bishop got to the summit of Baring Mountain, they were met with an explosive sight.
After a nearly 6-hour trek up the steep climber's trail, they finally had an eagle eye view of the surrounding area. From that vantage point, they could see the massive wildfire about three to four ridges away, and barreling their way. "It roared like a jet engine," said Matt. "That was our route down the mountain, and it was engulfed in flames. It was terrifying." The men decided to make their way down by following a dry drainage. The fire chased alongside them. "Hopefully you guys get to see this video because otherwise we didn’t make it," said Matt in the video.
