Juan, really appreciate the updates. Like your aviation knowledge based reporting, shedding light on what is really happening on these fires is extremely helpful. Hopefully someone is taking notice.
Juan caught you on the KCRA webcast here in Phoenix today ... Awesome updates and knowledge you provide...And has someone who grew up in Reno it is sad what has happened this summer to the Sierras.
Totally mismanaged for over 10 years, these so called tree huggers can't do anything right, be it 10,000 trees or 10,000 Americans left in the hands of monsters. God help us. 🙏❤🇺🇸
We have same issue here in Australia tree huggers cannot burn undergrowth. So when a fire comes.. keeps going hard to put out same issues as you guys. Hope all are leaving and not staying behind..too risky.
Juan, been a long time subscriber, former America West & accident investigator guy, I wanted to drop a quick note that your passion is well appreciated. Hopefully, it will inspire others to be so. Keep the shiny side up!
Hi Juan... Is the Blancalerio HQ threatened? What measures have you taken? Great series of videos... Your understanding + reporting inform so well! We in the UK are astonished at what you have to put up with!
Three things you should never fully trust: Fire, water, people/employers.. Christmas Valley could get wiped out today. All it takes is a slight wind change. In the fire service we call it a rekindle. But all that means is that we didn't get every single last ember put out. Many years of firefighting taught me to be wary of when things look to be getting better.
Watching on alert wildfire “Sierra at Tahoe” camera and it’s going large tonight. So sorry to see but nice it seems to have jumped the valley. You do know that your coverage of this is more informative than the majority of highly funded news outlets, right? You’ve found a new calling sir.
I’ve been following this down there (I live in the SanJuan Islands,Wa) through you. I also live part time in North Eastern where we are constantly bombarded by fires. We have spent the past few falls and early spring clearing brush and getting all the pines limbed as high as we can reach. Fire preparedness should be taken very seriously. Your reporting on this so informative and to the point. I believe that to truly be helpful to all of us living or owing property in theses areas. Thank you for your attention to all of this and for sharing FACTS. I’m a long time subscriber and this kind of first hand and to the minute quick summary is brilliant work. Love you brother Juan Brown.
Fortunately for you, in your northeastern abode the local government must let you manage the growth to prevent fires. Not so in California, where do-it-yourself forest management will get you arrested.
Good news for Christmas Valley, and likely Meyers and most of SLT. But there is an enormous "unpopulated" forest that's been ignited that will take pretty much all forest visible to the east of SLT. It will engulf all of Heavenly, and the next target in the que is Tahoe Village atop the Kingsbury Grade, where I have a residence. Will they get enough trucks and crew onto Tramway Blvd. to make a difference??
nope. They are only having minimal success slowing this fire down. It cannot be stopped by man. We live off Tramway & are evacuating in the morning. There's no expectation we will return to a house.
Thank you for calling it Meyer's and not Tahoe Paradise. Old timer's know why. Currently they are protecting property, I appreciate this, but I pray they will see the need to throw everything they have at this fire to stop it. It is possible to drown this fire and call it good. When I was a child every puff of smoke was addressed as soon as it appeared, it was not allowed to fester out of control. I pray for everyone still in the path of this nightmare.
Holt Hanley mentioned observing past fire behavior and was worried about tendency for fires to run north in that area, topographic wind channeling seemed the culprit. Worried what Tuesday has in store. If the fire had a brain it just did a perfect flanking maneuver to outflank resistance and create a long front to probe for weakness of a smaller but extremely well armed defending force...
Excellent update! I'm sad to hear that the fire is spreading. Suggestion: when you mention times in your videos, mention your timezone. I assume you are reporting in Pacific Daylight Time, but always good to assign units to your time callouts.
@@blancolirio Yep, and you definitely know what your local time is. But your About Page doesn't mention your local time zone, and anyone who might happen upon your video and not know where you live and how you do things might not understand which time zone.

For anyone outside of California, or outside the US, there's nothing in the title or description that geo-locates this video to South Lake Tahoe, California, USA.

Heartbreaking to see so many fires out there this year. I realize that wild fires have always been part of life out west, but it seems like every year things keep getting worse. I lived out there for a decade, and don't remember things being so bad. If this keeps up many parts of the Sierra Nevada will be virtually uninhabitable before long with insurance rates skyrocketing if you can get coverage at all. Not to mention the terror of loosing everything that you worked for go up in smoke every time a fire is spotted.
That's just a minor version of a horrible and foreboding turn of events. This should be a new lesson for everyone how high and far the extra dry timber can be tossed skyward over several neighborhoods on a day of moderate wind speed.
Great for now that it jumped the valley but makes for a very very bad situation for South Lakes tomorrow as this winds will push it right into town not up the mountains as you say .
That would be fantastic if that valley was spared. Still concerning if the fire spreads north as there are a lot of homes and other structures in that direction.
Native Indians Then lumber industry. (Yes! The lumber indusry), And many settlers. Government take over with "Smoky the Bear" policy of NO fires, for over 70 years. History that needs to be remembered.
Thanks for keeping the public informed Juan. Been a subscriber 2 years now since moving into Reno from L.A. smog 💨, traffic, violence, and crazy California laws and outrageous taxes 😊
It will be a real miracle if the fire hops over Christmas Valley and also misses S. Lake Tahoe. Seems impossible given the magnitude of the fire and winds. Let's hope.
We (as a society) need to stop building with wood and shift to non combustible materials like steel, concrete, masonry, rock, and synthetic materials like basalt fiber and glass fiber (not embedded in plastic resin, though - that stuff burns). Earth-covered structures work also; provided that the structural reinforcement materials used with it aren’t thermally sensitive. Hollow outer walls should have a high temperature stable skin that’s highly reflective in the IR spectrum. We should also be building wildfire bunkers (similar in concept to tornado shelters, or even the fallout shelters from the Cold War era)… someplace safe that won’t get too hot on the inside as the fire front passes by, and has provisions for an air supply and enough basic supplies for a couple of days after the event while things get sorted out. Underground (or otherwise thermally shielded) parking wouldn’t be a bad idea either, so that your vehicle doesn’t get burned up. The world has changed, and this is going to keep happening.
Hard to say when you're not on the ground but I think the way the approaching this frises are bit hit-and-miss put it like that, They've got a lake right next to the fire, I'm sure there's plenty of water there, if before the fire got there they set up some pumps to douse the area and the area on the other side of the road even with fire retardant would have stopped the spread more than likely. why can't a helicopter get in there and drop a couple pumps off the fire Cruise can make their way over there if no place to land, they got safe access out shouldn't be a problem!
It would work if the fire was closer to the lake than it is. The time to fight any fire is when it is small, sadly this fire was small when it was a long way from the lake :-( Retardant can only really be dropped when the wind and terrain co-operate, and again, the smaller the fire the easier the job. In one of Blancolirio's other video he talks to someone who, pre-emptively, did some ground clearance, canopy raising and sprayed retardant on other stuff, his house survived while his neighbours who did none of these didn't - a bit of forward thinking might save a few more properties (key word "might").
well you don't necessarily need to be that close to the lake the pump will need to be, but you can be half mile -mile from the pumps' would be fine, there are only 2 inches hoses easy to handle multiple connected to one manifold you can have 4 to 7 hoses of that size off the manifold, of course depending on size of pump, and running two pumps in tandem would give you an greater Range and pressure, iam talking about quite hefty pumps size of a small car, of course smaller pumps could be used strategically depends on the situation and water source, not actually attacking the fire as such necessary you are tackling the front of the fire and working back so you could be half a mile from the fire drenching the area and moving back using foam in the mix will help. it's the small shrubbery that's the issue I believe then big trees, what about firebreaks, we don't hear about them cutting down small trees to give a fire break I'm sure they're doing it but not mention. Yes I do agree with you small I'm sure they notified straight away but could be initiated delay in action too much reconnaissance and not enough action lol helicopters were on standby and they could be called out really short notice then I'm sure these files would be put out quickly small teams can work in and mop up of course it depends on weather conditions. yes I did see that video I'm surprising more people are not doing it the fire retard seems to be easily available and probably not too expensive there might be issues with water supply and pressure! Don't know would have thought the water company would be putting more pressure into the system in those situations
@@johnsweda2999 Half mile on two inch hoses would not make any impact, you'd need at least 6in, or possibly even 12 inch to get enough water up to do anything now :-( Helicopters are very limited in what they can do and when they can do it - wind (speed and direction), visibility and terrain can all make it too dangerous to fly. The last thing needed is for one to crash and burn so setting a new fire, reducing the fleet by one, and taking a crew off-line. Increasing water mains pressure may not be an option as the infrastructure may not be able to cope with it :-(
@@18robsmith that's what they've been using 2 inches hoses you can get a lot of water through a two inch hose Yes of course conditions play a part but should be no issue with crashes airspace would be kept clear a helicopter can hover they could even do it at night
Why was something like the Tambora volcanic eruption in 1815 that killed 82,000 people enough to spur God into action? Lots of fires, smoke, and death on that one, yet He stood around, did nothing, yet you were still "saved." Why?

I got it on video, not posted, but the fire map outline has a lion's head attached to it. Few days ago.
Now it is in Christmas valley?
Thanks brother
Will this fire cross Nevada Stateline? Will it go near Carson City or around the Tahoe lake up 50 to Mount Rose? What do you think?
Hi Juan... Is the Blancalerio HQ threatened? What measures have you taken?
Great series of videos... Your understanding + reporting inform so well! We in the UK are astonished at what you have to put up with!
Good job on KCRA tonight Juan!
Sorry I missed it! Was it an interview or as a contributor?
I wouldn't get people's hopes up, I suspect by the end of tomorrow the fire is going to have taken out of a lot of structures.
I agree. Lots of video on Twitter on fire in valley like by 89 & Shakori Dr.
Thanks Juan, best update I have had tonight, I am out of town in Denver. Devesting.
Jumped 89 and Christmas Valley. Burning now on east side? Not sure if this is good news. What keeps it from igniting both sides of 50 & 89 & Meyers?

This is one guy I trust.
Oh my God we are witnessing true hell on earth! All our prayers for those brave people involved and those who have lost their homes
It’s happened before, it’ll happen again. 🙁
Thanks for the news. I remember you said you were 50 miles away from the fire, is that getting reduced?
other way.
I like honest reporting. It’s why I watch your videos. Good work 👏🏻
Also concerned with the Dixie fire eyeballing Sloat/Graeagle/Blairsden and maybe Portola.
Oh no!
Appreciate the update. Would love it if the fire burned back on itself.
Is this the hillside behind shakori? Looks like he's pretty close to the CalTrans station
That's just a minor version of a horrible and foreboding turn of events. This should be a new lesson for everyone how high and far the extra dry timber can be tossed skyward over several neighborhoods on a day of moderate wind speed.
Sad times.
Isn’t that the Heavenly Valley ski slope area?
If I understand what Juan is saying, it's heading in exactly that direction, unfortunately. Few houses there, but lots of people's jobs.
Heavenly ski resort is on the California and Nevada stateline. It’s about five miles from Meyers.
i dont think this vid will age well, it looks like the fire has connected to the spots and is heading north
I feel your pain - you guys in California get hit the same as us in Australia.
Crossed 88 as well just north of Silver Lake.
Seems like nobody has been paying attention to Kirkwood. I think that village has minimal chance of survival.
Stay safe Juan. We went through this New years 2020. Its not fun.

Great for now that it jumped the valley but makes for a very very bad situation for South Lakes tomorrow as this winds will push it right into town not up the mountains as you say .

the fires burn all these forests.
That would be fantastic if that valley was spared. Still concerning if the fire spreads north as there are a lot of homes and other structures in that direction.
This is so wrong. Winds from the South! Fire on both sides of 89 pushing north up Christmas Valley..
Who managed these forest before man came along...Mother nature does just like she is doing now.....
Then government comes along and decides it can take better care of Nature than Nature can. Results: obvious.

Then lumber industry.

And many settlers.

Hopefully it stays east and doesn’t push north, east will run it to the high desert in Nevada which doesn’t have much vegetation to burn.
