Feel Good Story: Camp Fire Hero Gets Surprise From Toyota

It’s been seven months since the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in California history, the Camp Fire, reached 100% containment.

In addition to the heroic firefighters and volunteer rescuers, there were plenty of civilian heroes leaning into the crisis to help others.

Allyn Pierce, a nurse in the intensive care unit in Paradise, California, risked his life to save patients from the Camp Fire.

Using his vehicle, Allyn went back and forth to get patients to safety when the Camp Fire had spread quickly and came too close to the hospital.

By his last trips, the flames got so close, the tail lights of his Toyota Tundra had melted and the doors were charred.

When Toyota learned of his heroic story, they decided to replace his burnt ride with a brand NEW Toyota Tundra — and added a heavy-duty rack, a lift kit and bigger tires, and an on-board CO2 tank.

Toyota had gifted Allyn his new truck back in November, but just recently added another surprise to the ride.

The charred doors on the truck that had help Allyn save lives were like a badge of honor. So, Toyota gave his new ride a custom paint job to match the hero-mobile — even adding some texture where the paint had bubbled up.
