In a town almost completely destroyed by one of the deadliest fires in California's history, a firefighter was able to save an American flag.
The firefighter was captured on video walking through the destroyed town of Paradise with the Stars and Stripes this weekend.
He makes sure to hold the tattered but intact flag above the ground until he finds a mailbox standing in front of a decimated house.

A firefighter was captured on video rescuing an American flag in the decimated town of Paradise, California this weekend
The firefighter made sure to hold the tattered but intact flag above the ground until he found a mailbox standing in front of a decimated house
The firefighter then gently drapes the flag over the mailbox, tying two of its strings together to secure it.
Footage of the firefighter has since been shared by CBS News and quickly went viral.
Many found the video to be especially moving as it was released on Veteran's Day.
The firefighter was then seen gently draping the flag over the mailbox in a touching tribute
He took two of the flags dangling strings and tied them together to secure it to the mailbox
It was also a touching tribute to a town that has been almost completely wiped out by the Camp fire, which has killed 29 people.
Officials said 228 people are still unaccounted, meaning that death toll could still rise considerably.
Most of the dead have been found in Paradise. Many bodies were discovered in the burned-out cars of people who had been desperately trying to outrun the blaze.
Two hours south of Paradise, in the city of Elk Grove, police came upon another patriotic scene.

Nothing had been left standing, except for a flag pole and the flag (pictured) which was still in almost perfect condition
Elk Grove Police said they secured the flag and wrote down the address of the home, hoping they will one day be able to return the flag to its rightful owners
Every house in the street had been leveled by the Camp fire. Nothing had been left standing, except for a flag pole.
And flying on top of that pole was a flag in almost perfect condition.
Elk Grove Police said they secured the flag and wrote down the address of the home, hoping they can one day return the flag to its rightful owners.
As of Monday morning, the Camp fire had burned through 113,000 acres and is now 25 percent contained.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
