Pure badassness, ain’t nothing like it.
Smokeys gonna be PISSED
Man anyone just stop and think dam this would be a crazy FPS game. I think the game could be used for training of new equipment or for qualifying on new exams. May be a VR game that would be cool as well. So many ridiculous Simulator games out I wonder why no 1st responders cgames
Have you heard of Fire Department 1, 2 and 3?
Dean Su nope why platform does it run on. Do you think the games appropriat for 10 an y under
Tequila MokkingByrd runs on pc, yep, pretty appropriate for most ages
There is a game called "Wildfire" it was made in 2005 google "Wildfire PC game" it runs on windows 98 you can also buy it on DVD
Pavlov
These guys do such a fricken great job...we have currently experienced a pretty large fire in my home town of Nelson.....i hope they can put it out everything is so dry
Thank you and every single fire fighter on this Earth for helping and risking y'all's lives to save us! ❤️😭
It really is a whole process isn't it.. incredible.
Yep firefighting is a whole strategy game
Not gonna lie thought the thumbnail was a rocket launcher
@Ninja me too😁
All of respect for those men 💗💗
These guys are real pros 👍👍💪
Good thing you stopped that 8 inch tall fire before it cleaned up any more pine needles before spreading to the clean road. 2 farmers could've put this out with their boots.
Another know it all.
and a smart farmer would have sat in the shade and let the creeping fire stop at the road -
I found this video to be quite enjoyable.
I was on a running grass and scrub fire about 2 hours ago in Victoria, Australia. We didn't have time to make an earth break, we just had to get into it and let the later arriving crews deal with that. Took 3 hours. Started from a guy parking his tractor on dry grass and the heat from the engine ignited the grass
You guys be careful in Australia. I heard about the bushfires that occur there and I've seen videos of the rapid forward growth of those fires. Eucalyptus and pine are quite vulnerable. Here where I'm located in Canada, we have one fire season per year, beginning in May and ending in October. There is usually a flurry of high fire activity in May and early June.
For anyone seeing this video 7 years after its posted...the fire was only burning through litter on the ground in a ponderosa forest...these trees evolved to rely on fire. This forest floor needs to burn, and is the only way organic material will break down and recycle. Sad, really.
The firefighters must use tractors and ploughs to dig a perimeter around the fire use machinery rather that displacing the fire.
They already use dozers
Humans keep fighting off extinction
Great video!!!
Not gonna lie, I thought the person in the thumbnail wad holding an RPG.
Great video. Although, whoever the incident Commander is. He needs to reevaluate the attack on this.
From what I see, the initial attack is defensive. But they need to go direct and go on the offensive.
Get another attack line in there from another stationary and move in there!
The need a skidsteer with a blow attachment to speed things up
NOW THATS A BIG GUN
It’s terrifying that this is relatively tame for a forest fire.
they need to invest in some pencil line for those small fires
"Man, this is a great game!"
Think again that hose with the water is heavy maybe even around 40kg
Would you say this is harder or easyer then structural, Iv head it said wild land requires more stamina
THE GUY wildfire 100%
Two very different types of fire. Two very different animals.
I'm being this when I go up
unicorn_lit_boy Do it!!!! There’s nothing like it in the world!
Look like someone did not put out there campfire very well.
Bushfires are fought very differently in Australia compared to America. When we fight bushfires we are a lot more dependent on machines. Why get 50 men to dig a 5 meter wide line when 1 bulldozer can dig a 10 meter wide line. Much respect for all wild land fire fighters.
Terrain, cost, and research is why we fight fires differently. Most wildland fires that occur in the United States that become major are in hilly, rural environments that take time to reach and get resources to. Australia, at least to my knowledge, remains mildly flat throughout the continent. It's much easier to use machines in Australia than it is America, at least most of the time.
@@nully9047 a lot of the fires we get in south east, south and Western Australia are all in major hilly areas, we had a major near my house not long ago. It’s not uncommon for our crews to take 5 or more hours to respond to them because of location. But as you said is to do with environment, the fires here create a lot more spotfires and are managed very differently to how it’s done in America, our crews do cut fire lines but not in the way Americans do.
Smokejumpers!
Very Bad camera position
To believe my dads being doing this for over 20 years
How do they get the water? In the middle of a forest
They get shipments in from planes and trucks
There’s local reservoirs / ponds whatever they find in area
HgnCalifornia Most departments have tanker trucks that are made to supply water in areas without hydrants, and fire engines also have limited internal water supplies.
Fire engines have water tanks inside of them. Some departments have tankers with water for such occasions. They can also set a floating pump at any body of water
Is it just me or does the thumbnail look like he's holding an rpg
Nice video brother. When possible with a progressive hoselay anchor at your engine and remain in direct attack. Always safest to have one foot in the black for an escape route. Hope you have a safe season.
lacks so much equipment. the loooks like it takes for ever.
you can t bring anything in the forest. Most of the trucks can t pass, the firefighters have to bring their whole equipment so it s a limitation
Just rake the fire u practically are fighting it
are they gonna call a airstrike ?
Why they don't have masks?
I just want so badly to walk over and stomp on it lol
wildlife firefighter Russian
They need a shotgun that shoots a whole cartridge and if it hits something or gets above like 300 degrees than explodes and stops the fire inside of it would be fire retardant
get your hand off that pistol grip lol
That's not even close to what we do
