    The story about civilians in a shelter with a firefighter was the 2001 Thirtymile Fire on the Okanogan National Forest in Washington.

    I see that the Discovery Channel is running a series about wildland firefighting for those that might be interested in this topic.

    Supposed to be on the Discovery Channel on the evening of January 3rd, 2021.

    Some videos from the series are here.
