In the video, Samoa Crew 61, better known as the "singing crew," is seen walking down off the mountain in Shasta-Trinity National Park and signing acapella while other firefighters sang harmony.

According to a Facebook post by the U.S. Forest Service, the crew had been working on the Helena-Buck Fires and even received an award from the Incident Commander for their hard work. 

The video was reportedly shot by Lori Light on September 27, a few days before the North Bay wildfires sparked. Light later posted the video on YouTube on Oct. 13.
