In the late afternoon, a fire just west of Sanford, TX began to intensify with the large amounts of dead, fine fuels all over. An evacuation order was given for the town of Sanford, TX. Local, state, and federal firefighting resources converged on the area with multiple apparatus, including aerial support. Firefighters conducted a back burn op at the dam to clear fuel between there and the west front of the fire.
Thank you for following this, Brett. I'm following it on line, I have family and friends in Amarillo, Borger, and Fritch, along with Perryton. This has been nerve wracking. Praying it's over soon and with minimum loss of lives and homes/barns/equipment. Glad to see the air tankers dropping retardant on it.
Yes it is and now in stanford Texas close to us
Yeah i grew up in Perryton. I know exactly where these towns are that have been hit by the fires. I feel very bad for them.
@@cmc200 our daughter lives outside of Hooker and I work there at BJ service when they need mechanic shop help, from Snyder and retired diesel mechanic now
Please keep praying 🙏
Lord please take care of all this .Keep family's and livestock safe amen 🙏
🤣
Lived here for healthcare work for 5+ years. I now live elsewhere for family health concerns. Place is a wind tunnel. Man was never meant to tame that land. Just be awe struck by its beauty and work with it. Praying and sending help to 6 friends I know lost something over there.
I'll add to those prayers. Born and raised in Amarillo for 34 years, now in Houston. I have family and friends still up there all over the panhandle. So far everyone's safe, but I know the losses and how hard it is going to be to rebuild.
I sure hope they know what they are doing in all that wind.
I understand that a back burn will take away potential fuel for the wildfire. I just really hope the "controlled burn" doesn't get out of control in all that wind. Seems super risky.
Hey there! Very well staffed back burn op! At least 10 brush trucks were solely dedicated to the operation. We were also concerned, but they managed it great, with no spot fires.
😢😢😢
The wind
Thank you, these folk are here from Oregon & this is how wildfires are put out. So, good to them come this far & bring their skills to the texas panhandle.
Texas averages over 9000 wildfires a year it’s not like they don’t know how to put them out
Prayers for the fireman and the people who live up here. I'm in Amarillo right off the Fritch Hghwy in river road.
God be with these brave souls ❤
This is why I live where the air hurts my face.
Crazy how all of the conspiracy nuts come out every time there’s a fire
Texas averages over 9000 wildfires a year so you’d better get the HD Reynolds for your headgear 😂😂
You can blame the evil Democrats and corrupt government for that. If governments would simply respect the people and tell us the truth, there would be far less fuel to encourage the conspiracy theories. Of course the corrupt government is guilty, of something. Let's try to be a bit more clear just what the corrupt government is guilty of. Perhaps not everything bad that happens. Maybe a bit less than that.
Are the6 doing a fire break?
Starting fires to " stop " the fires. Awesome. What could possibly go wrong there.
These fires still burning?
DEW. No doubt
Whenever I use those three letters they delete my comment, you are absolutely correct they are out of control
Nope
Get a clue
@@rareroots
But could it be perhaps just nature? Wildfires after all, are nothing new.
Weather maker=Satellit,s or Haarp?
DEW
Climate change as it’s simply hot and dry and very windy
Psychopath rulers in control of weather.
Asylum saboteurs
Dang it is close 😢😢😢
Owe Maui
Hot dry and windy yes
Endless, it seems.
14 if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. 15 Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer made in this place.
Brand new fire.. whats causing them to start. Its not lighting cause theres no storms in the area... Nobody is talking about how they started
Biggest one reported to have been started by a downed power line
To quote an Alabama supreme court judge "wrath of God" seems like your god gave you his answer
DEW
someone high up really despises Smokehouses and Roughnecks
Abbott gonna look like a cartoon mouse munching Biden's government cheese. What was that about socialism?
Bad idea 😮
Why would the firemen start an fire 2:09?
That's how they did it before firemen. It's a fire break I think they ball it. You control the burn. Fire can't burn what is already burned.
Sorry, person above you is right, it's called a back burn
Fight fire with fire !
You need to get out of the trump cult and just read news about the border. This is how it’s been sone for hundreds if not thousands of years.
Back burn. Retired 🧑🚒 of many years
😂😂😂😂 wow shocking the fire was started by a electric line fell because the The power company doesn't maintain it's equipment....
Thats the excuse every time theres a deliberate fire.
Weird that the electrical line started 5 different fires at the same time isnt it?
You would think they would get tired of being blamed all the time.....oh ya they benifit from the wef and the global warming bs!
The fire in Hawaii was blamed on the power company. Then video surfaced of the power lines being repaired before that fire started.
arsonist running wild. imported by the thousands. let's give it a cutesie name and cover the real cause, boy this will fool um
Why should I care about this? Blame this on windmills too.😂
Care? Because your beef, bread, sugar, and soy prices are going to go up for the foreseeable future. People and cattle have died, people lost homes, barns, farm equipment, horses, tack, and their grasslands/fields. This is an economic nightmare, along with the loss of life. As for windmills, power lines or train wheel sparks could be it, or a careless burn barrel (for trash) or cigarette flipped out a window. And, the winds are always high up there, I grew up there and a normal nice day is 10-15 mph, gusts to 20-25. After that it's a windy day. 10% humidity right now, less than 15 inches of rain this last year. Drought conditions. It all adds up.
Other people aren't real to some people.
peace.@@charlayned
@@charlayned
People who hate 60% of other Americans have died ?!!
Hate is the remedy that White Conservative Evangelical Fake Christian Texas Republicans have chosen.
@@charlayned in my state you have to get a burn permit before burning. High winds you get told no. The fire help fertilize the field and makes plowing easier from what I understand. Cattle sometimes get moved to another field in cases like this.
Why does it look like they started this fire😮😮😮😮
Google fire breaks and control burns
Because they literally did. That's what "backburn" means.
Right on.. jus seen it :)
@@SalisburySnake
Backburns do not intend to "put out" the fire, but rather to help contain it. Keep the fire more confined to nature where it more belongs.
But I do wonder just how much backburning contributes to the statistics of how many acres burned. Since they have to burn back from firelines that they hopefully think will hold, to rob the growing fire of its fuel. In remote enough wilderness, backburning and firelines should not be necessary, since "control" of the fire is not needed. Maybe merely monitoring it for safety and educational reasons.
Hopefully, Abbott will help prevent these fires in future.
He can start by taking down those wind turbines. Great idea at first till you realize that they have to be on brakes and feathered in winds greater than 35mph+. The area is traditionally a part of the Dust Bowl. Plus anyone whos driven by these on I-40, 207, etc. will note in wind gusts you still get pushed. That is because moment of inertia takes over and those thing can actually produce a sustained wind vs just cycling down with a gust. Smokehouse is suspected to be caused by a powerline.
@@CNe7532294 Oops! I triggered tRump the Rapist.
@@CNe7532294
I Read a Report that it Was Caused by someone mowing.
What Does a Powerline have to do w/ a Wind Turbine?
The best thing you can do is deal with climate change. This area has been in draught for ten years. Drought, dry brush and wind is the recipe for fire. I personally had to evacuate my home 3 times because of fires in Colorado. Wind is the most frightening thing when things are as dry as they are. Most fires are caused by a spark from a power line. It's only going to get worse. Weather patterns have changed and we need to change our behavior in return. Texas can't escape the fate of climate change. Your state is a tinder box waiting to ignite. You can thank your hundred plus temperatures. At least in Colorado we have red flag days where nothing is permitted to be burned. People know they can't throw a cigarette butt out of their window because it can ignite a fire when conditions are ripe. Your fire has burnt over a million acres. Even in Colorado, none of our fires burnt that much area at one time. Your state needs to take better care of its land
@@annebartells777 We have red flag days in Texas too. How absurb to think we don't. And isn't there a wildfire burning in Colorado right now too? Are you not keeping up with your own state news??? 1K acres burned with zero containment. Colorado reports an average of 5,618 wildfires each year, and approximately 237,500 acres burn annually. Maybe lecture your own state instead of focusing on Texas.
Disrespect Mother Nature then expect to Suffer😢
This was DEW!
Does the 2nd Ammendment cover that?
@@declanmurphy6427 I doubt that, goober.
