In one of the video clips, a Boulder County sheriff's deputy lets a store customer without ride in his cruiser in order to evacuate the area as the Marshall Fire approached last month.
Recently released body camera footage captured the efforts of Colorado deputies as they evacuated residents during Marshal Fire last month.
The video clips dated Dec. 30 show Boulder County sheriff's deputies going door to door to alert people about the approaching wildfire, KUSA-TV reports. In one piece of footage, deputies can be heard telling customers at a Costco store leave immediately because of flames near the back of the building.
"The fires at the back, go! Everybody head east, get out of the store now!" a deputy can be heard yelling.
One customer approached the deputy and, in Spanish, told him that she didn't have a car. The deputy then had the woman get in his patrol, so he could drive her out.
