Firefighters used helicopters and airplanes on Saturday to try and contain a wildfire as it burned near an airport east of Sacramento, California.

Footage from inside Placerville Airport in El Dorado County showed the surrounding area engulfed in smoke and flames from the so-called Pay Fire and a variety of aircraft swooping in to drop fire retardant.

Local media reported that the airport had been evacuated due to the wildfire, which had burned through 77 acres as of early Sunday.

Reuters was able to independently verify the location with the road layout and terrain that matched the file and satellite imagery from the area.
