Firefighters driving through an apocalyptic inferno in Australia

Chilling footage from Friday shows firefighters driving through a forest fire in New South Wales, Australia.

Flames, burning trees, and an eerie orange glow send shivers up the spine, as the crew drove through Holdens Lane at Rainbow Flat, located on the east coast between Sydney and Brisbane. The area is a usually lush forest, that has been transformed into dry bush, following rising temperatures brought on by climate change, according to local reports.
