If this crew was involved in protecting and saving the Summit Springs cabin tract (between Hwy 36 and Mill Creek), then I would like to thank all of you for your hard work, diligence and dedication. Because of you, our family will be able to enjoy our family cabin for at least another generation!
thank you for your service.
My son is with Antelope Valley FD, Mono County, Coleville, California.
“Git after it & GET SOME!”
It’s burning hot and they are just backing it off the road. At least they have engine support to help hold that road.
Looks like drip torch brigade.
Is this a recent burnout operation near Mineral?
The wind always seems to change right after the backfire is set
Fire does strange things to the wind
@@josephastier7421 The worst thing is when you have those light and variable days so you will get battling winds sometimes. Plus on those light and variable wind days then you would expect the winds to be at some point upslope up canyon as per normal diurnal wind patterns. So you might be seeing the inversion dissipating as they transition from morning to afternoon and those diurnal winds taking over. It would be interesting to look at the RAWS weather data for that day if we knew the exact day they were burning.
Just like when you’re on the tee box!
Lots of heavy dead and down in the forest there. No wonder it’s burning hot. But mostly favorable winds.
Where was this? Near Mineral?
Please read the description, it’s all there.
@@norcalstormchasingyou could’ve just answered their freaking question in the same amount of key strokes 🤦♂️
Love the video, not liking you 🫵
@@brentfrank7012seriously.. if your gonna post the video be open to answer questions about it
@@norcalstormchasing Yep sorry for my obvious lack of situation awareness. I tend to watch the videos on UA-cam on TV and not burrow deep into the description on the app. All I saw was your title which said nothing about where it was. Plus afterward some of the comments I left, I saw that it was from 2 weeks ago. I think it’s great footage. Looks like much of what I did on Hotshot crews for 23 seasons. Brings back a lot of memories of doing a massive firing operation working 18 - 20 hour days at Yellowstone in 1988. Prep line all day and burn all night, eat, sleep a few hours, eat and go again.
@@XAlpineSuptDN Was 1988 the year Alpine was stationed out of Yellowstone?
I think mankind has offended the Almighty
No prep… lazy. Wouldn’t have worked without engine support.
Yeah the fire was racing toward a town and had already jumped the last last ditch effort to hold it one road over. This whole fire crews have been doing non-ideal firing ops because the conditions and speed of the fire were bad.
You light under the conditions, timeline, & situation you have - not the situation, timeline, & conditions you’d like to have.
You right jonny
@@johnnyhorizon8368 So true!
It would have worked and often does as long as the wind is in your favor. Calfire is putting it out when the whole idea is to burn off the fuels so there is nothing to burn when the fire gets there.
