VIDEO: A procession from San Bernardino to Orange on Tuesday morning honored a firefighter who died while battling one of the massive wildfires burning in Southern California. Charles Morton died Sept. 17 while fighting the El Dorado Fire as a squad boss for the Big Bear Hotshot Crew, according to the U.S. Forest Service. The 39-year-old's colleagues lined the street as his body was escorted by a motorcade out of the San Bernardino County coroner's main office at around 10:15 a.m. Ramon Herrera of the U.S. Forest Service was there to mourn his longtime friend. "He always had my back," Herrera said. "We were on Big Bear together 15 years ago, so I've known him for a while. The Forest is going to be hurting, his family. I mean, to lose such a good man, not just a firefighter, but he was a good person. I'm going to miss him terribly. I don't even know what else to say. I miss you Charlie."
