(CNN) Justin Bilton and his father sized up the wildfire raging ahead of their car and, thinking their window to escape was closing, decided to race through it. A two-minute video shot by Justin shows their harrowing drive along a narrow dirt road as Glacier National Park burned around them, why it didn't work, and how they survived. 'Dad, this is insane'The Massachusetts father, 70, and his son, 37, were camping in the Montana park earlier this month when the Howe Ridge Fire closed in on them. Justin Bilton recorded the fire roaring just outside his car as he drove. At nearby Lake McDonald, they saw two park workers with a motorboat, watching the fire, Charles said.
