While stationed in Camp Pendleton 20+ years ago we Marines were tasked to help fight some devastating fires. We were given some safety instructions and assigned to some Hot Shot crews to assist in manpower. What I found amazing is how hard it is to pace yourself when you don't know what's ahead. You can't let yourself get too tired because you never know when you will have to move away in a hurry. Clearing brush and trees by hand is hard work and you're hot and tired and dehydrated all the time. If the wind changes on you and you are in a bad place you can't outrun a fast moving fire... The smell of every campfire since then brings back those memories. Outstanding work Cody... I feel your pain.
I heard the report the first thing this morning on the local news. I knew you were working the fire and you were the first thing I thought of when I heard it. Glad you're OK; of course, will say a prayer for the three fire fighters who lost their lives.
DocLarsen44 Same here only difference I heard it in the late night news. Glad Cody is alright but still sad for those that did lose their lives
+Wranglestar Keep up the good fight, I live very near the HUGE forest fire that happened in Västmanland, Sweden last year. The smoke was so thick where I lived, we had to close all ventilations and stockpile water for breathing rags. For any and all Firefighters world wide, thank you for your courage and dedication!
I'm UK based with 24-years in service and currently working as a training department instructor. In England we don't experience these type of fires on anything like the scale you do, I take a strong interest from afar and I remain humbled by the work you do. Thank you for sharing your experiences, stay safe DC
Thank you for your service . My little brother is a firefighter in the Northern CA fires . I share your videos with him so he can see your experiences too. There's a lot of us that feel a kindred spirit for our fire fighters that have never fought a fire but have seen our precious forest burn . Thank you All ... our thoughts and prayers are with you !
I knew I could count on you covering this tragedy. Prayers go out to the families. Stay safe Cody. Thank you for sharing and caring, "Rt"
I, too, had heard about the lost firefighters on the news. My thoughts immediately went to you and your family. Praying for all those left fighting.
As a Texas Canyon Engine Crewman and Hotshot in 1979, I never considered myself brave, just enjoying the best job I’d ever had!
Thanks for posting this Cody. My heart goes out to the families of the firefighters who lost their lives.
Wranglerstar .Cody, I am so sorry for the loss of your fellow firefighters. I thank you for sharing this video. I cannot presume to comprehend the horror/terror of a forest fire as I am from England. 18 years ago I lost my wife in a house fire, me and my son only just escaped. Keep the faith and carry on fighting the good fight my friend... Tony
Grateful that there are people brave enough to do this work. Truly a tragic loss that seems to happen nearly every fire season. More the reason to take care of yourself and those you love. Thank You.
Thank you for your contribution in working to contain these fires. My family lost their home in the sleepy hollow fire on June 28. Our hearts and prayers go out to those brave firefighters who lost their lives in the line of duty and the over 25k still fighting for containment. we are all so grateful for your hard work
I am *so* glad you're ok, Cody. To me, these losses are more tragic because they were doing something incredibly brave, knowing how extremely dangerous it is. Their loss hurts more because anyone that brave and willing to help is a huge asset to society...they're the kind of people we need more of. AND, it's scary because we all "know" and love you, and it could have been you.
MindOverEverything
I see you've got "brown nosing" to a art there bud...
The ache and sorrow is bottomless to their courage so full. Staring into sadness at a wound that will never be forgotten. Even now those giving three and countless others like them lift me up. I am grateful for their precious deed of no greater love
I FELT YOU SHOULD KNOW. THAT YOUR VIDEOS HAVE REACHED ALL THE WAY UP THE COMMAND POLE. I was attending the 130 annual refresher and they showed your video about the fallen Twisp river fire victims. The whole class could relate to what you were feeling with little words. Good bless and be safe this year.
Praying for you, your family, and the other firefighters working in the area. Thank you for the kind words you provided Cody, God bless and be safe.
I heard the news yesterday and immediately figured you were in the area. Glad to know you're ok. Stay safe up there. God speed.
RIP to the men who gave their all.
I don't think this was disjointed. I think it brought the viewer along for a more authentic ride. Thanks for working so hard Cody.
Cody, All of us feel your emotions. We are very sad for their loss. Thank all of you for serving your country.
May God Bless them and keep them in eternal Peace. I pray that God watch over you and all of the folks fighting these fires.
Jim Krueger Amen brother!
Jim Krueger Right just like he looked out for these 3 LOL. Time to grow up people.
Jim Krueger Maybe your god should just put the damn fires out? Thanks. I wish them all the best and I want them to be safe, but dude...
+Jeremy “superduperjew” Williams praise Allah
TheRaellz As a relative of one of them that died on this fire. I can say honestly that at least one was a christian.
I live about 2 hours from any of the fires minimum and i can still see the and smell smoke in the air..these fires are so massive, it's terrifying. Thank you for sharing this, thank you for everything you've done.
I love to re-watch all your wildland fire video right before the session start. They gets me pumped up and I can't weight to help my community when the pager go's off.
I've decided recently to apply as a seasonal with Texas Forest Service next summer and hearing the news this morning hit me hard and I want to say for those fighters, the ones that were injured their families and all the rest of yall up there fighting the fight, you all have prayers from us down here at esd3 fire. May god bless and be with you.
Your face and comment of your feelings of loss say it all friend. People have no idea of the sacrifice that so many make until tragedy strikes. I truly hope that the fires end soon and no more damage is done. Keep up the good work and gob bless.
Thank you for the video and your time on the line! I have family in Wenatchee and a good friend of mine took time away from his department (and family) to work the Kettle Complex fire. I appreciate everyone who's out there sacrificing and only wish I could help this time too.
This men are real inspiration and heroes.They risk their lives every day.My father and uncle and grandfather were fire fighters.Respect them for their bravery.
we truly appreciate what you guys do. the fires here in Washington can be incredibly devastating. thank you.
From a retired LEO to some of the bravest men and women I have ever seen. Don't apologize, sir, for concentrating on your work and staying alive. I just had this video recommended to me. Being a retired LEO, I have been in some of those situations that no officer wants to be in. But I knew that if I stayed calm and followed my training my chances of survival were very high. Sometimes nature takes every chance you firefighters have away from you. Sometimes you follow your training to the letter and you still get screwed. But y'all keep coming back. You guys and gals are amazing. Thanks for what you do!!
Prayers and thoughts to all affected by this tragedy .
Thank you Cody for your contributions both to wildland firefighting and your channel. Please keep up the great work and stay safe. Look forward to part 2
thank you for sharing. I dont know if anyone has ever told you but you are a cool guy. My neighbor across the street from me turned me onto your channel -Im glad he did.
Cody, I've watched this video 5 or 6 times now. I think it is, hands down, the best video you've ever made. Your technical expression worked hand in hand with your heart. So emotional. So earnest.
Same here, first person I thought of as well, was you. Thanks for taking the time to give us a glimpse inside or behind the scenes. Stay safe and my god relive the families pain of those brave fire fighters that lost their lives.
It's been very somber here in my home I knew one of the guys worked many IA's with him he was stationed out of our ranger district. My heart breaks for his family it's a call I never want my family to get thank you for the video I know we will meet out on the fire someday. Take care
Beautiful thoughts, Cody. It is always hard to express how you feel about something like that. You did not know them but they were STILL your brothers in arms. Same brotherhood as any combat unit. You are one. When one hurts, all hurt. Cherish the pain of beloved ones lost and carry on because that is what they would have you to do. Be safe out there.
Love your videos and never comment. Was thinking about you after I heard the news. God bless you and the folks you worked with. And God Bless America.
Your guys do all of us in Washington and Oregon a great service. Thank you and prayers and best wishes to the fallen and their families. God bless
God bless you,as an Australian I know how great your actions are.Thank you Cody.
I saw the news and thought of you, I'm praying for your safety. Great video, Mr. Wranglerstar.
Hi Cody - I am a wildland firefighter from Ontario Canada. We have been deployed pretty much from June on this season. We heard about this up here when it happened as well, wildland firefighters are all family no matter where you are from, I have learned that in my career. I offer my condolences and prayers to the families of these heroes you mention and to you. Stay safe compadre.
Beautiful, Cody. my condolences to their families. and thank you for taking initiative to commemorate even those you don't know personally.
Well done, Cody. Your documentation and video structure was very thoughtful. As a firefighter, these things really hit home. We are all human, and it shows that you are a man of high quality for feeling the grief that you feel.
May God bring the families of the fallen peace.
Thanks for this video Cody. I'm sure I speak for most of your subs when I say it doesn't matter how disjointed the video is, you are bringing us the truth of these situations and showing us something we will never be involved in. It makes us appreciate the work of firemen all over the world. In Australia we suffer from fires just like this as well and our Rural Fire Service guys are mostly volunteers too. Total respect to you and all other fire fighters.
Hard to put into words the connection felt in the fire service. People you have never met are like brothers and sisters. Rest in peace, we honor you by continuing to serve those in need. Rest easy, we have it from here.
lmao, "I dropped my apple in the dirt. There's a whole nother level of what's acceptable, as far as cleanliness, out here. So this apple is completely acceptable" My friend you have just said, with a slightly different vocabulary, what every sailor, soldier, marine and airmen have simplified to the phrase "the suck". The suck can be anything, sometimes you are welcomed to the suck (as a place) or you are told to embrace the suck (meaning tough it out) or eat the suck, while you can, cause some suck is better than no suck. Unless it's the cheese and veggie omelet MRE. Then again, you are truly in the suck if that's your last option and you are actually willing to eat it.
True Story!
SEMPER FI.
that's pretty epic, embrace the suck.
+The Whiskey Gunner If you mixed in the green salsa stuff, tabasco and ate it hot it was almost edible. Watching these videos of him out there brings me back. It almost seems like the closest you could get stateside to being back in the fight. Amazing how much we hated shit but years later I miss the simplicity.
i can not count the times my apple fell in the dirt and i picked it up blew on it and eat it, move out draw fire troop.
Cody, I consider it great joy to be a member of the same brotherhood as you. I find it very honorable that you would choose to honor our fellow firefighters with this video. I think its funny, however, because, we work in the environment of potential life loss everyday, and it is easy to ignore or wash out the very real dangers we face. These young gentlemen losing a battle with that beast is an unwavering, hard, fast reminder that, even though we firefighters sometimes act indestructible, if God chooses it to be our time, we go, too. Prayers from Florida, for these young men's souls and their families they leave behind them.
I could tell by your voice that the loss of fellow Fire Fighters was a hard thing to hear,. I think it could be just as hard on Mrs W, at times like this it can hit our loved ones as hard or harder, because they are the ones that are at home listening to news report's and not knowing til she hears from you, so please keep in touch as much as possible.
As always thanks for bringing us with you on your journey and keep fighting the good fight!
wranglerstar, I understand your grief as a member of the military. It is always a somber time when someone in the "brotherhood" you belong to dies even if you never met them you feel a sense of gratitude and understand what a great loss and sacrifice the death was. My thoughts and prayers go out to you, your crew, and all of the firefighters and their families.
i have so much respect for fire fighters.
rest in peace heroes.
i don't even know a single fire fighter but still i'm tearing up.
thank you for helping extinguish Oregon and Washington been so heart broken recently with all these crazy destructive fires.
These men and women truly are some of the bravest people out there. A ranger I know did this a few years back and told me a story about some men who were killed after being struck by lightning during a storm, it's such a dangerous job. So much respect to them all. My prayers go out to the family's of those killed
thnx 4 posting brother- prayers n blessings 4 all
Thank you for sharing this video and your story! Be safe out there Wranglerstar!!!
I want to say something but have no words. I feel the pain of loss. My son is a firefighter and in the back of my mind, I always wonder if he will return. Hugs and prayers and I am so thankful for the work you do.
The news services here in Australia are now carrying the story about the loss of your three fellow firefighters as we also share similar dangers during our summer.
Black Saturday 2009, Feb 7 to Mar. 14 2009, cost Victoria 173 lives and 2029 homes and burned 4500 sq. km
Thoughts for the families of the lost and injured firefighters.
Mark Fryer 4500 sq. km of forest? what type of tree, the majority i mean.
4500 sq km of Victoria, Crown Land ie native bushland with the majority of trees being of the eucalypt species, a hardwood evergreen with oily leaves that burn particularly well when dried out during a drought/heatwave. If the wind is really up and the fire gets to "crowning" ie burning in the canopy it can really accelerate and spot fires start several km forward of the fire front. I recall the story of at least one fire truck crew telling of going 100 km/h down the road and the fire overtaking them. The strong winds knocked down tree branches which took out power lines resulting in multiple ignition locations, in other places the winds caused power lines to snap or strike each other and cause spot fires.
There were also some idiots who turned up to State Forests wanting to go dirt bike riding even though fires were already burning inside. Dirt bikes are also a great ignition source to have inside a state forest on an Extreme Fire Danger Day.
The fires destroyed Crown Land/ State Forest , farmland, private plantation forests, small rural blocks, hay sheds, machinery sheds, urban fringe bush blocks, several small towns and semi rural suburbs on the edges of Melbourne.
Mark Fryer
I asked because i figured it was eucalyptus tree since you are from Australia.
I am from Portugal, where someone had the stupid idea of promoting the planting of eucalyptus trees (some lobby or someone related to the paper industry), at that time (i think somewhere in 1975+ or in the 80's) with the implication that some people decided to cut down big land portions of cork oak plantations to plant eucalyptus because it grows quicker and supposedly was more profitable, which is a lie in the long run because cork and noble woods are much more profitable in the long run and benefit a larger group of people in contrast to few people that sell the eucalyptus trees and the giant the paper industry.
And now we have a huge problem with wild fires because the eucalyptus destroyed the true forest we had, its true that statistically we have lots of forest, but for me i don't even consider it forest, its eucalyptus plantations lol. Its a plague because it grows everywhere, it consumes huge amounts of water, it dries the soil, pollutes the rivers because of the oil of the tree, it leaves lots of dead material on the forest floor waiting to burn.
So yeah huge areas burnt every year, money spent fighting those fires plus all that destruction caused by the fires cost money, and sometimes lives are lost like last year.
Although in Portugal a huge part of the fires, like 80+ % are created by people, either by accident or of criminal origin.
Sorry my English for any mistakes it might have by the way =)
PedroM Nothing wrong with your grasp of the English language my good man, in fact your better at it than many whose first language IS English.
I seem to recall something about eucalyptus trees being exported many years ago, I just wasnt sure where because I think they may have also exported them to Brazil. The problems begin when plants or animals are introduced outside of their usual habitat. Australia has problems with all sorts of introduced plants plus rabbits, foxes, cane toads, Indian minor birds, so yeah we are familiar with your problem.
Mark Fryer Am I reading the wiki page on it correctly that only 1 firefighter died during the whole thing? Still just as tragic though, cannot imagine the closest thing to hell nature can create to engulf you in your home.
Keep fighting the good fight! Very powerful message, thanks for sharing.
Thank you for bringing us all along ..my heart felt condolences go out to their families and to all of the brothers and sisters left behind to mourn them .......
thank you for your service
I like the progression of bright eyed and bushy tailed Cody at 1:30 ready to get work done to Cody eating a dirty apple, covered in soot, staring into the distance at 8:00
Great video Brother, hard to describe the brotherhood/sisterhood we share as a firefighter... stay safe!
Thank you for sharing. My heart is with the family and friends of the ones we lost and pray a speedy and full recovery of the firefighters who were injured. Wranglestar as always we appreciate your insight.
Thank you for your work as a firefighter. God Bless those who parishes and those that were injured.
My condolences to their families. May The Lord comfort them and give them peace.
Please accept, and forward if possible, my deepest sympathies to the families of those folks lost in these fires.
A moving tribute Cody, thanks.
Thank you for everything you're doing to fight these fires--we really appreciate it.
Good job Cody , thank you for your service brother . It's always hard to loose members in the battle . Stay safe , be well .
When I heard the news as it broke yesterday, I was very concerned for you, pal. Bless those true heroes protecting us, right here, right now in America.
Tragic and I feel deeply for the three firefighters that died. It's a tough job you're doing. Tthanks for taking us along.
Cody, just want to thank you and all of your fellow wild land firefighters for putting yourself in harms way to protect our homes and our natural resources. I have family in Twisp and I know you were up there last summer. I feel familiarity with the area and the communities these three people died trying to protect makes their sacrifice even more meaningful to me.
As soon as I heard about the deaths I immediately thought of you, glad you are ok physically. I am praying for and your family in addition the crews working so hard.
I live in Spokane , Washington and we got all the smoke from all the fires burning from the west. I as well said a prayer for those who perished in the Twisp Fire. Thank you for the great videos of the brave soul trying to deal with the devastation of the fire.
I recently re-read 'A River Runs Through It' by Norman Maclean and, while reading the short stories included in that book, I wondered whether you had read any of his writing. I am guessing now that you have based on your 'Young Men and Fire' title.
I saw in the paper about the three men dying and thought of you and all those fighting the fires up and down the west coast. No words really.
Don't worry about the nature of the content on videos like this one. I tend to expect them to be this way due to exactly what you said: you share what you can, when you can. You're doing good work, Cody.
It's a very sobering thing when you realize how dangerous ones job can be. Being an Industrial Firefighter, I have had coworkers badly burned so I can partially relate to you. You're doing a wonderful thing by helping save people's homes and the environment. Keep it up, we all support you.
I think you understand care Cody.Its compassion that you feel and are expressing.
Thank you for all the videos.
I have a whole new respect for you. I don't think I could do what you do but thanks for doing it. The attachment that a person feels under those situations is the same thing that soldiers go through after their first firefight. I would think that would make the loss of your comrades all the harder to bear. You're all dignity and grace here, and I am sorry for your loss. Please be careful.
I returned home this morning after being out of touch for the last three weeks to find many worried messages on the phone and email that I could be one of the deceased. It's a crazy life we live. GOD Bless are our brothers and sisters out there and the family of our fallen.
You are a true bad ass!!! thanks for your hard work, and keeping your community safe.
Thank you for all you do.
Thank you so much for your commitment to stopping these fires. Every day I look up to you as one of the bravest people I've ever seen.
Thanks for sharing this. Without these videos not only would I not know but I would not know to care.
I really understand you!
You're a good man!
I'm a firefighter too! I know the feeling of loosing a fellow firefighter.
I'm sorry for you're loss
Lets hope we do not not meet their fate!
A big hug of compreension and care of a fellow volunteer in portugal
Rest in peace my fellow brothers we got it from here and sorry for your loss brother. Prayers from us firefighters in louisiana
I hope you stay safe WS. The smoke from the Northwest has filled the air here in Colorado making it seem foggy and overcast. I can't imagine what it's like where you are.
Takes a special kind of person to do this. I thank God for them.
I was a police officer near where the Granite Mtn hotshots were lost a few years ago in AZ. So many affected, but so many rose up and served the community after
when I heard the news I thought of you too. be safe out there brother. all of us in this type of work feel the loss.
Thanks Cody for this footage
Stay safe Cody. You are a role model and an inspiration to all of your loyal viewers and fans. It's a terrible thing to hear, when lives are lost trying to protect others. Hopefully the effort you and your fellow peers put in will help prevent any more accidents. The work you are doing is amazing, both on the "front line" and with the great content and knowledge you share on your channel. thank you!
Thanks for your service. Glad to see you home safe.
Every time I hear on the news about those wildfires going on, I think of you and all the men and women that work to protect and control these fires. I've always known there's a lot that goes into these fire we in the rest of the country hear about, but to see some of your videos showing the incredible amount of man power that goes into these operations, it puts it in a different perspective that I've never realized until i see the behind the scenes footage. Keep safe and we are praying for you and all those putting their lives on the line working these fires, and your families. God bless the families of those three men.
Keep up the good work and stay safe!
Thanks Brother for the Vid. Prayers for the families and for you. Stay safe Brother and may God Bless.
such a tragedy... Prayers go out to those families and loved ones.... they will be missed...
Touching video. Thank you for what you do.
Thirty-five years as a structural firefighter. Attended four line of duty funerals from our department, it's a hollow feeling. I empathize with you--there are no words other than I'm sorry for your loss Cody.
I appreciate your efforts on these fires. The Okanogan Complex Fire is within 2 miles of my place, I'm outta there and there isn't anything I left behind, which is most everything, that is worth the lives of any one of you. The buildings the stuff, though valuable to me don't compare to the thought that a family could be without someone who tried to protect "stuff" horrifies me. Be safe. God Bless and thank you.
I am experiencing smoke as the east winds kicked in today. I am so sorry for those brave men and women who lost their lives to this Fire. Thank you all for your bravery from Washougal WA
Your feelings with regard to the ones who lost their lives and were injured, and the kindred spirit you feel as one who does the same job and knows what they face and how they trained is no different than what police officers and first responders feel when one of our own suffers or dies in the line of duty. It is hard to describe to those who are not in this field. May God continue to bless you and your family. Thanks from ours. Ken in Tacoma
I read the news this morning in Eugene, then flew to Renton, WA, and while I couldn't see the Twisp fire from my route I flew over and through the smoke from no less then four other wild fires on that short flight. My thoughts were with you and your brothers. Be careful out there.
Hi Cody, my condolences on the loss of your fellow firefighters. I come from a family of firefighters, my gramps was a fire chief for 40 years. My father and four of my uncles were volunteer firefighters. My cousin worked as a smokejumper. I was trained as a firefighter in the military (but never had to fight any myself). I feel for the loss of any firefighter. They put themselves in harms way on behalf of others they might not even know. Sometimes, the harm comes to them. God rest their souls. You stay safe out there.
