This is the moment firefighters in Australia are forced to shelter as their truck is overrun by the devastating bushfire.
The crew from Fire and Rescue NSW Station in Wyoming had to hold up flame-resistant blankets against the windows when flames and sparks hit the side of the fire engine.

Rapid-moving embers can be seen blowing around the truck as it drives along the glowing-red fire front.
A wall of flames blocks their visibility as they go further into the woods.
The Currowan Emergency-level bushfire has now torn through more than 229,000 hectares of land and even crossed containment lines around the region, reported 9 News .

West Midlands Fire Service also wrote: "Our thoughts are with all those affected by these devastating fires.
"Especially our fire service colleagues there who are working tirelessly under extremely difficult conditions. #AustralianFires."

NSW Police have confirmed that the key arterial road servicing the south coast, where tens of thousands of holidaymakers and locals were trapped by fires, has been closed due to fallen trees and fire damage.
A spokesperson for the police said: "If deemed safe to do so, arborists will work in the area tomorrow in an effort to make the area safe and open the road, however this work is expected to take considerable time."
