The photo was posted on Instagram by Brandon and Katelyn Parra.

"This picture literally brings me to a whole new respect for the fire fighters. After days of fighting this fire, they curled up and slept on the ground in my neighborhood just to do it again tonight," they captioned the photo.

"Thank you for saving my home and running into a fire that the rest of the town is running from. You all are true hero's."
