@@blondelebanese9922 you just suggested to burn me, how is that not disrespectful. I was only joking, I get why youre upset but it really is not something to get annoyed about since Im not taking the actual deforestation etc unseriously.
Why people don't see that controlled burns are needed in forests is beyond me, I first learnt about it here in primary School in Australia because it's what the indigenous people did and it helps make wild fires less extreme but also lots of plants need the fire to reproduce
But indigenous burning, like they still do in the Top End is very different, cooler, more expert, with reference to seasons and plants and animal breeding cycles - this is the knowledge we need to inform our ‘hazard reduction’.

@@docducttape9270 Americans started suppressing fires in the early 1900s, long before climate change became a notion. And it makes ME sick how you view liberals.

Hey, I live near there! With two perspectives (my dad having been a career firefighter, and knowing a tiny bit about Yurok culture and the surrounding tribes), controlled burning is the best way to make wildfires safer. I’m glad the world renewal people are bringing it back.
Lived in HC for almost 10 years! I'm so glad this topic is being brought up on a bigger scale. I was part of the civilians helping to do what I can during the complex fire in 2018. Back-burns and prescribed burns would have done so much to help!
Last year, I almost lost my home and 120-acre property in the massive wildfire that completely wiped out the town of Paradise, California, and much of Butte County. I disobeyed the mandatory evacuation order and stayed on my property, watching a satellite view of the fire as it engulfed much of Butte County and moved closer and closer to my property. I was hoping that the fire would not be able to jump across the northern forks of Lake Oroville, which provided a natural water barrier half a mile wide and several miles in length. I thought that there was no way the fire could jump across a water barrier half a mile wide. But it did. The fire was so massive, and the winds were so strong, that the fire jumped across the lake and started to burn up the Berry Creek area where I live. I watched the satellite view as the fire marched toward my property, moving southward at one mile per hour, burning everything in its path. At 10 pm, the fire was seven miles from my home. At 11 pm, it was six miles away. Then five miles. Then four miles. At 2 am, the fire was three miles away, and I decided that I should evacuate. I loaded everything of value into my pickup truck, including my two wonderful German Shepherds, Squishy and Zippy, and left my property, expecting that everything i owned would be burned to a cinder by 7 am. But somehow a miracle occurred. The firefighters were able to stop the fire before it got to my property. I'm not sure how they stopped the fire, but they did. I think they used bulldozers and back burning to stop the fire. It was amazing that they were able to stop the fire. I've been here 10 years, and that was the first time I was scared shitless that i would lose everything.
What an amazing story! So glad the fire was stopped before reaching your home. I could have never stayed that long, you're brave or crazy. lol I was in the Atlas fire in Napa county in October 9, 2017 (the fire started on the 8th). We live in the mountains out here and the night of the fire our power was cut. So me and my neighbors sat out with lawn chairs and kept watch, also people were relying on their Nixle updates (which we now know not to trust). After 1am most went to bed as the Nixle app was telling us that the fire was not coming our direction. I still had a bad feeling in my gut that it was heading for us. So I stayed up all night and kept watch and promised to wake them up if the fire reached us. I packed all night going through my things (I was that sure it was coming), while everyone slept. I finally was able to see the fire coming over the ridge, but still the Nixle said it was not heading for us. By the next day the sheriff was at our doors telling us we had to leave now! And if we refused to give our names, as they were not going to return and would not save us. We would be on our own after that. This was basically so they could identify the bodies, I assume. Lucky for my husband I had our vehicle all packed and all we had to do was grab a few more things and get our animals loaded and we were the first to drive out of there. We drove through smoke and some fire. The fire came over the mountain and right at our homes and made it just across the road from us where the fire crews managed to stop it! Within a few feet! We did not know this and spent a solid day thinking our home was gone. We were elated when we learned our home made it, but still we were under evacuation orders (for 8 days). Later that week however (a couple days after this) the fire doubled backed and came once again for our home, but they had a large air tanker that stopped it in the open pasture where it was coming for our neighborhood again. Crazy.. 2 times we dodged that bullet. I thank God for it... we prayed A LOT! Now we have that fire not too far from us in Sonoma county, praying for them. We have a warning that this weekend is going to mimic the same conditions as the night of the Atlas fire in 2017, with winds that have not been as high since that night. I'm going through some PTSD over it, but I pray we will be spared once again. Life is getting too complicated here now. I've been here over 10 yrs and until that night had never feared for my life like that. My husband has lived here 30 yrs and this was only his second time going through a major fire that close to his property. Now it seems as if since 2015 it's like this every year. We've had so many close calls (nothing as bad as 2017) it's wearing me out. I love it here so much, but when do you decide enough is enough? Stay safe, I will say a prayer for you all out there. This used to be my favorite time of year, but now I dread it.
My son is about to be the next generation of firefighters. He's 19 years old and going to the fire academy this spring. I would easily fly him out to the tribe to for an internship to gain this kind of knowledge.
Having controlled fires would also help control the spread of wild fires id imagine. That’s why we have preburn some areas to avoid bigger fires. Think about it, all the extra dray dead trees, bushes, and when the winds pick up... and one fiery ember.. the rest is history.
I am a prescribed burn manager in Texas. Me and others like me have burned tens of thousands of acres but we all know that even with all we do, it is a drop in the bucket compared to what has historically burned and needs to be burned again in the state. We all have a sense of urgency in trying to awaken the public to the value and need for much much more.
When trump came to see the after math of the fires he told brown,”you need to rake your leaves.” I was taught the impotantance of prescribed fires in elementary school on a sequoia national park field trip by a nature loving teacher that I had a lot of respect for and has influenced me til this day.
Even since that one clip from TruTv about Native Americans a few years ago that showed how it works, I just figured they already did it in some capacity. Glad it is finally happening.
I remember smoky the bear commercials, oh my I'm so old now! The reality is folks, this is how our voices are never heard. One sided suggestive ads, so opposing voices that carry some wisdom and experience can't be heard.
I'm 60 years old, raised in Oklahoma, and I remember as a teenager the state of California being told that if they did not practice controlled burning they Would face catastrophic fires. Had they listened then, they would not be in this position now. So this is not an act of mother nature at all, but rather a man made crisis brought on by negligence...
@@MTemil nah, Im just saying if they included it in the video, it would be better. I know that I could obviously look it up, but it should be a key part of the video
Fire suppression by humans is NOT the natural state of the forests. Naturally, small fires sparked by lightening keeps fuel loading down and greatly reduces very destructive crown fires. The prescribed burn program must be vastly expanded even if an occasional prescribed fire gets out of control. With global warming contributing to insect pest outbreaks which kills trees in our forests, catastrophic fires are in our future. All forests in the Rocky Mountain west may revert to grasslands due to a combination of pest killed and burned forest and drier, hotter climate in those areas.
Controlled burns were used in Europe before they even came to America. Many cultures have used contrôles burns. The gov in California is very special on the fact that they seem to have a hard time understanding this practice.
Thank for this video to educate us. I know we could learn a lot from Native Americans. You know how to treat Mother Earth. I am sorry for whats been done to you by Americans.
As they said, fire can be our friend; however the innumerable fires within man's ICE engines or internal combustion engines has become a threat to nature itself by their combined impact on the environment and weather.
Indigenous cultural burning via small, expert cool-temperature burns have always been practised in Australia’s far north and the south, burning this summer like never before, is finally waking up to the need to learn how the Aborigines used fire to keep the land healthy and safe. Long overdue.
I hope this happens, we as people world wide should look to our past for the answers, every one was cut off from the truth of everything this is another part.
If you want to conteract and begin to manage our Forests, the Govwernment needs to give the U S Forest money and defress punishment in ,ost promotions and Fear of being Fires. Many Prescribed Fires are going to get away. Nature is extremely fickle. Call your Congress men. I do not care for Trump but he was right on the mark when he talked about what they do in Finland when he talked about how the Fins clean the Forest.
Most of native are mixed. It's hard to find pure-blooded one. Because of the genocide in the past, most of them accept the marriage to other race to extend the bloodline.
@@aTx_Gi again another idiot, calling me racist for saying someone who claims native American Heritage is white. You should learn what racism is, before you judge. You tard :P
These fires don't start on their own. If it's not lightning then some other force is at work. Personally I think it is deliberately being done in CA. 16 fires and no lightning to start them... 🤷♂️🤦♂️👹
