<br /> <p>A wildfire raging in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park threatened downtown Gatlinburg and the surrounding area on November 28-29. These dramatic videos document Michael Luciano’s harrowing escape from Chalet Village.</p><p>According to Knoxville New Sentinel</a>, as of Monday evening, the fire had spread more than 500 acres, prompting immediate evacuations in Gatlinburg’s Mynatt Park neighborhood, East Foothills Road, Turkey Nest Road, Davenport Road and Savage Gardens areas.</p><br /><p>This video was filmed in a vehicle attempting to flee the blaze. The footage shows the vehicle being forced to turn back towards the blaze by a blocked road. A second video was added later, when the vehicle had safely evaded the blaze, but not before some pretty hair-raising encounters. Credit: Facebook/Michael Luciano via Storyful</p><br />
