Australian firefighters capture moment their truck is overrun by a bushfire

The fire department of New South Wales, Australia posted a video on Tuesday showing one of their trucks surrounded by a raging fire. The crew was forced to shelter in their truck and used a blanket to keep the scorching air from coming in as the fire front passed through. Authorities confirmed two people had died overnight, taking to 11 the total deaths in wildfires since the beginning of October. The huge bushfires have destroyed more than 4 million hectares, with new blazes sparked into life almost daily by extremely hot and windy conditions in bushland left tinder dry after a three-year drought.
