"We immediately put a plan in place to lower rescuers to the vehicle to get eyes and assess what we had," a Cal Fire official said at the scene.
"As we were doing that we were able to notice movement in the front seat through the windshield with binoculars. So we knew that we had at least one person that was alive."
