i love how instead of showing this in a heartbreaking way, you showed how you guys pull through and how you mange to stay joyful throughout these fires. Thank you for everything you do, stay safe now!! ❤️
Thank you for fighting them wild fire's, im 16 rn but i plan on moving somewhere to be a hotshot when im 18-19. cant wait. Again big thanks to all of yall.
Id give anything to be able to fight fire again, I started in a department that did half wildland and half structure. I ended up on the structure side for 31 years. I should have gone into wildland and stayed there! I always told the guys if they really wanted to find what their made of join a forestry unit. Great video brother, keep up the great work. God's speed.
great video! at 2:11 you can see a perfect example of a fireline and the use of a driptorch in combination with wind direction to achieve a controlled burn! this photo could actually serve in lessons! keep it up
@@YesNo-cy5tw NIcks renegade boots , tanker boots are not nfpa certifed but they are an option for they soles if you want to add $ 30 .00 red x lug fire resisant soles to your purchase of the boot ,the renegade boot is like a harness boot and the tanker boot have straps ?
@@emmanuelawosusi3276 dam bro that's actually interesting, are they pretty expensive? I occasionally will burn of huge fires from landscaping waste so I'm sure they're overkill for that application but then again, cowboy boots rock
I feel like this should be presented to high schoolers. I would have probably fallen in love with this and done it through out college but I didn’t find out about woodland firefighting until I was almost done with college.
It’s a fire wall, they burn everything in the area in a controlled way, so when the bigger fire approaches there is no fuel to keep feeding the fire and that way it stops growing
There was a lot of different fire behavior in the video, I’m not sure as to which “uncontrolled” clips you are referring too. Where things might “look uncontrolled” when we are putting fire on the ground, those are clips from “ interior burning.” Burning is very situational and weather dependent. Fire is attracted to heat, and so the technique you saw being used is to build a lot of heat inside your burn area, (roughly 300ft off the line) once that fire and heat is established, the edge of the line can then be lit, once lit, the main fire and heat will basically act as a vacuum and it will suck and pull the fire back into itself and away from the edge. There was also some other pretty crazy fire behavior in the video that was NOT from putting fire on the ground. We saw some very extreme fire behavior and intensity this last season due to weather, wind, etc. With that kind of intensity, it is extremely unsafe to engage and sometimes you just gotta wait till things die down a bit before engaging

That what seperates the professional from the rest 👍
These guys deserve way more pay
You guys and gals are true heros! I hope they raise your pay and get you what you deserve for the effort you put in and the risk you face.

Nicely done video showing the work you guys do, and the environment you work in.
I don’t know if I could do what these brave men and women do, but I’m most certainly going to do my best and try.
Shout-out to James Bean one of the best dudes I've ever met

I think we can all agree here that the Chingadera is the best hand tool hands down if you know how to slam line with one of course.
Great video. My dad was mill creek shot back in the late 70s
One of the sickest collection of photos I’ve ever seen. I hope all of you guys always safe and have a wonderful life

Why they are burning the forest?
It’s a fire wall, they burn everything in the area in a controlled way, so when the bigger fire approaches there is no fuel to keep feeding the fire and that way it stops growing
@@ulwimi_oluninzi Understand, but some fire in video do not look controlled, lol.
