CNN
GLACIER NATIONAL PARK – Dramatic video shows a father and son who were caught in the middle of a raging forest fire at Glacier National Park but thankfully they’re both alive.
The two men were rescued from the fire by boat when they managed to flag down park rangers after abandoning their car due to a downed tree.
The Howe Ridge Fire was started by lightning and has burned more than 4,000 acres, according to the National Park Service.
