A nurse working in the town of Paradise drove his Toyota Tundra truck through the horrific blaze currently ripping through Southern California to save the lives of patients trapped in the hospital. New York Times reporter Jack Nicas unearthed the story of how Pierce, who manages the ICU at Paradise"s Adventist Health hospital, was trapped in the middle of the blaze in his Tundra, before a bulldozer knocked a burning truck in front of him out of the way. Rather than drive to safety, Pierce quickly drove back to the hospital in order to help save patients and injured residents. Along with other first responders, they set up a triage centre in the hospital"s car park, and relocated patients to the helipad.
