Man Details Desperate Escape From Palisades Fire With Elderly Father-In-Law

A man’s calling his elderly father-in-law a hero for his courageous efforts as they desperately escaped the Pacific Palisades wildfire … especially since Parkinson’s makes it tough for him to move.

Aaron Samson spoke about their terrifying plight on CBS Mornings Thursday, revealing after seeing smoke and fire near his 83-year-old father-in-law’s house, he knew they had to leave. There was just one problem — they had no car.

Aaron quickly ran down the street, begging for help, and luckily found a neighbor who agreed to pick them up. He grabbed his father-in-law’s meds and they hopped in the car.

But soon they got stuck in gridlock … and when a fire jumped dangerously close to another vehicle, police began yelling at everyone to get out of their cars and evacuate on foot.

That’s when you can see in Aaron’s clip — his FIL, walker in hand, hustling down the street as best as he could  … all thanks to Aaron’s constant encouragement, telling him they had to keep moving.
