It's not their normal call of duty but when two San Luis Obispo County CHP officers saw a fire on Cuesta Grade getting out of control, they stepped in to fight it.
"We jumped out with an extinguisher and shovel and just started trying to do the best we could," CHP officer Jason Butler said.
This would sound pretty normal - if these were firefighters - not a couple CHP officers.
"We knew that it was spreading pretty fast up the hill," Butler said.
Early Monday morning, San Luis Obispo CHP officer Jason Butler and his partner, officer Danna - pulled up to a fire on the Cuesta Grade off of Highway 101.
"And fire still had a few minutes before they were going to get here," Butler said.
