Since the start of July, UC Davis Fire Department’s Brush Truck 34 has traveled throughout Northern California to fight some of the state’s largest-ever wildfires alongside local and state fire officials. They’ve tackled the Salt Fire in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest, the River Fire in Mariposa County, the Tamarak Fire along the California-Nevada border and the Dixie Fire in Butte and Plumas counties.

On July 22, Fire Chief Nathan Trauernicht shared this viral tweet with real-time footage of the crew’s process:

Heart stopping video from our @UCDavisFire crew inside the cab of Brush 34 on the #TamarakFire as they worked to protect a housing development last night. I am so incredibly proud of the bravery of our @ucdavis firefighters as they help protect our state! @Chancellor_May @Cal_OES pic.twitter.com/iUkpk3L698
