I was over there working them fires also
It was a heck of an experience!
Yes sir it was that for sure
What about proper ppe?
PPE was utilized and all personnel were safely operating. These videos were from safe areas.
Boi it's dry as hell
Yes it is
With the types of fuels they have and the intensity of their fires they should invest in some proper wildland PPE. Would make their lives easier I bet if they had greens and yellows as well as proper helmets so they aren't overheating in their bunkers. I am sure there is a grant out there they could get access to, or if their agencies have a program in place with their state's DNR or Forest Service like us at the NCFS have with our local fire departments. Good work regardless, I think some of our full-timers were deployed down there for these fires.
This was a collaboration of structural and wildlqnd agencies coming together to get the job done. All personnel took precautions to remain safe at all times.
@@GetOUTdoors75 Oh don’t get me wrong, I think it was great work. But I definitely think that the departments should get wildland PPE if they are gonna head out onto the line even if its for Engine Ops. I am just saying I guess they don’t have the budget for it if they haven’t already done it.
