These are piles of tumbleweed my dad and I cleaned out from in front of our fence after a windy day. The fire department was notified and we had a few other people watching it as well.
After a certain height, a fire can become very unpredictable. Given that tumbleweed is very light and can be carried by the wind if a gust is strong enough it can pick up them up and hurdle fireballs in any direction
they are calling it "uncontrolled wildfire" ironically in response to people who say you should not burn it because you can start wildfire, obviously there are people watching this fire in case something go wrong thats the point
Not really a good idea. That wind picks up and you got a real problem on your hands man. Rolling fire balls. Looks like alot of fun though. I think everyone has a little fire bug in them.
really interesting seeing how the tumbleweed burns so quickly that it kind of peels itself away from the fire, essentially limiting the fire unless they take action to force the tumbleweeds in large bunches
I mean, I think the bigger danger here is that tumbleweeds are still fairly dense yet dry and when you have a prairy fire going on or one of your fields is burning, the weeds just take the fire and carry it somewhere else. So, if you have a trench to stop the fire from spreading, tumbleweeds can carry it over.
Add in a dash of wind and you suddenly have a problem.. with no wind yeah it burns so fast it burns itself out... but with some side wind and you can quickly have an problem
"Tumbleweed" No tumbleweed was left behind To roll in wind they are designed Prairie winds blow them in kind To fence line where they are lined Where they're entwined they bind #rt #PoemADay
Hey, would really like to suggest using the leftover biochar. It has tremendous fertility and water holding capacity for gardening in arid climates! That is, if it's not left to burn into ash :)
@@Browncoyote typically biochar is made by burning wood until it's charcoal status....then stopping the process with water or dirt or if in a vessel, shutting down the air so it won't become ash.
@@sethlievense8371 Nah you can pelletize it and feed it into a continuous char oven. Or shred it and bake it in a batch system. Needs some scale, true. But feasible.
0:51 How bad should your boy scouts skills be to miss at lighting up that amount of tumbleweed with the first match and paper! 12 years ago.. you pretty much invented the clickbait title. Congrat, it worked for me! Thank you for sharing that nice video Have a nice day.. and a thumbs up from Montréal!
Since this is a big problem I was wondering if someone would build a container shredder on a truck it could be down sized and used as heating chips be burned in a wooden stove. Woodash is good for a garden.
Imagine a big gust of wind blows away the tumbleweeds and hits a house and spreads and then fire tumbleweeds will just he flying that's basically what u said
Just NO. I don’t care when you did this, just don’t do it again please. Rent a chipper, capture the chips and dispose of it correctly - I have no idea if that would even work, but fire is definitely NOT the answer. If you did this in Australia, you would be in BIG trouble. Not cool, not funny and definitely not safe - regardless of the outcome. Someone else might see this and decide to copy you, and if they are kids or it’s windy and they don’t have any kind of plan, it could go seriously wrong.
thats danger! dont do this! it is very upsetting to watch this! please take out the fire! you are not fireman! are you going to kill everyone? please dont do this

CGP Gray currently having a stroke from this
Anton Šijanec same
Found after that video haha!
Lol
Just type tumbleweed and check the comments everyone watched cgp gray
*gets done watching the video. searches* "tumblweed fire"
Had to see it for myself after CGP Grey's video.
As Did I. It's Wonderous And Horrifying At The Same Time.
Same
Haha same boat
Sameeeee lol
Same +1
This is the agricultural departments warning to any tumbleweeds that step foot near any farms
Da boss sends his regards 😎
Not sure why you are calling this "Uncontrolled". Its completely controlled.
Yeah, wanted to say. looks pretty controlled to me :-D
Unless a big wind comes up and blows it out of control, dumb thing to do !

@@gabrielcalderon7301 Stop making it sound awesome
They burned a lot slower then I expected. I wanted it to burst into flames in a second.
Yeah, that is a bit odd, was wondering what a garden hose of liquid oxygen would do for the situation.
@@bhatkat liquid *what*
@@thelocalnecromancer1224 liquid oxygen. Cold as fuck
what if we poured a *little bit of gasoline*
No accelerants needed. Just aim a leaf blower towards the ground in the pile's direction.

Read description
it doesnt look like there is any wind
(:
Us americans dont care thats why cali is burning
@@triatanstopmotions4157 No. Doing this in a controlled manner with no significant wind reduces wild fires
Tumble weed ASMR
Ah, the burning tumbleweed, okay next... I just need to find tumbleweeds taking over towns in CGP Grey's list
XD
I've seen the ones on the road, o swarmed city and now this. I think that might conclude it.

"Violent Tumbleweed wildfire"
*clearly shows guy lighting the fire*
More like just "Tumbleweed Fire"
Errr
*WE DIDN'T START THE FIRE
IT WAS ALWAYS BURNING SINCE THE WORLD'S BEEN TURNING*
The violence in this video has traumatized me...
😂😂
Me too😭 tumbleweed uhuhargh
The poor tumbleweed, although already dead, didn't deserve to live throught such cruelty
I need my blanky after this video
@@a4p3l1_2 they ain’t dead
After the fire takes hold: “ you got the hose?”
I just might have found a new fetish...
Lamar Davis Hol the fuck up there buster.
EXACTLY!
Pyromania
So now we know why there have been so many wildfires in recent years
imagine being in the desert and seeing a fireball flying at you
It'd be just like Afghanistan! 😅
@@classifiedveteran9879nah the difference is that its not a flaming ball but instead a burning car and 30 men shooting at you

It's so incredibly random, that I watched this video. Finding cgp greys channel was already super random. I'm just driftin' through stuff.
WILD fire? It's intended
So if I intentionally light a forest on fire, it's not a wildfire?
imagine if it starting rolling after being on fire.
Towards your house
@@CJMapping 😂 well played 👍🏻 but my home already looks like this, it will get intensified a little more.
Those flames were beautiful.
It's like some of them were standing still.
Can this plant be used as a fuel for thermal power generation?
Lmao nah its a fucking plant
Controlled* #clickbait
Xd
Not if a wind comes and starts throwing fireballs in every direction. So it’s not controlled.
@@rosin_eater lmao fireballs
it would be controled in a incenarator
A little zephyr could send these weeds rolling and then the whole community would be on fire
Circumflêx ÂÂÂ literaly
Exactly
Fantastic way to dispose of them, although a little dangerous
A little too dangerous for the environment, perhaps.
@@GigaJinGaming3711 better to burn in a controlled manner than up against fences, homes or cars
@@GigaJinGaming3711 Not really. Sure it burns the ground a lil but thats about it.
Man you can't start a fire xD
Have more than one ignition source for a start
"The fire department was notified and we had a few other people watching it as well."
"Violent Tumbleweed Wildfire"
so which one is it.
NEVER burn that big of a pile!!! Make a small pit and burn one at a time!!
Irtespomsible,what if the wind pciked up
Most relaxing video on internet
"Tumbleweed"
No tumbleweed was left behind
To roll in wind they are designed
Prairie winds blow them in kind
To fence line where they are lined
Where they're entwined they bind
#rt #PoemADay
Tumbleweeds ain't no joke when they light up.
Haha, we dont have this in my country. Finally some good thing happend to us
Imagine hundreds of flaming tumbleweeds tumble to your town
Those don't burn nearly as well as I'd expect. Pile them in top of a Christmas tree next time.
Wow i like the sound
How does this have so few views? It’s so satisfying to watch LOL
Hey, would really like to suggest using the leftover biochar. It has tremendous fertility and water holding capacity for gardening in arid climates! That is, if it's not left to burn into ash :)
How does make biochar?
@@Browncoyote typically biochar is made by burning wood until it's charcoal status....then stopping the process with water or dirt or if in a vessel, shutting down the air so it won't become ash.
Too thin and flammable to make biochar. Ash it is.
@@sethlievense8371 Nah you can pelletize it and feed it into a continuous char oven. Or shred it and bake it in a batch system. Needs some scale, true. But feasible.
I was expecting a dry christmas tree fire. This was still pretty good.
The fire is controlled. So quit saying it's not. This is common in certain parts of the United States
Op skipped the best part towards the end...
0:51 How bad should your boy scouts skills be to miss at lighting up that amount of tumbleweed with the first match and paper!
12 years ago.. you pretty much invented the clickbait title. Congrat, it worked for me!
Thank you for sharing that nice video
Have a nice day..
and a thumbs up from Montréal!

This is warning for all other tumble weeds 😁
Tumbleweed is peak fuel and oxygen mixture.
UA-cam will recommend " Burning Man" after this
CPG Grey wasn’t cappin
Oh, the horror!
tartisan this had me cracking up😂
Not much mass in those things, is there?
Great fertilizer
ik right
That is a tasty fire sir
Just think of all the creatures nesting in there that got roasted😯
lol... "someone is going to call this in"
at no time was it out of control, people need to mind their own business.
That shit burns hard.
Looks like all that stuff was wet
are you allowed to burn in the summer?
Yeah, as long as there isn't like a red flag warning or something.
It's Not South Dakota's Fault for Tumbleweeds in this Country
Got any s’mores?
"Burn, baby, burn / Tumbleweed inferno..."
They really do burn like hell
I guess if you like thumbs down then upload videos and give them sensational misleading titles!
You clearly never have heard of Tumbleweed fires
I remember seeing my friends burn
Fire! Fire! Fire! .........Beavis
Hmm, i guess it's time to make soap out of what's left
This is Bear Grylls and this is how you make... oh shit it blew up
Anyone else here after cgp grey
is that wildfire tho?
That's very much controlled.
Not until a wind blows it nd it becomes a fireball
Beautiful
Something oddly satisfying abt it
Very satisfying
neither violent nor wildfire
Im just gonna assume this is what Moses saw.
Poor tumbleweed, they were only travelling
A big friggin' nothing!
Why don’t u throw a match inside it
It's all fun and games until that thing moves.
Imagine a big gust of wind blows away the tumbleweeds and hits a house and spreads and then fire tumbleweeds will just he flying that's basically what u said
i think some jet fuel might be in order .. jmho
Dude your video says Wildfire. That's not what this is.
Thats dumb & dangerous. They travel you know.
Why would you burn that
"wild"
wait what ?
CAMERAWORK IS A THING.
Just NO. I don’t care when you did this, just don’t do it again please.

1:48 HUMANOID TUMBLEWEED
nightcore gangster wym
Mean while in South Dakota hahaha
They burn up fast
You can heat a homestead with these!!! Wtf!!!
As long as it isn't near wind. One hard gust and you get multiple fireballs jumping about
Not a wildfire if you set it.
Hell ya
Who the freak is doing is they’re asking for it and make it your wild fire
🔥👍🏻
Probably not a "wild" fire
who the duck is doing this
I had to see this for myself and CGp greys video. This is that wont people die it’s our fault
Air pollution...
mass over volume.
...God you really have no idea. You sound like me when I was 5 man
@@ChadDidNothingWrong it's just that 'muricans burn everything. Trash : burn it
Old leaves : burn it
Witches :....
It’s not wild
Neat video but I have to give it a thumb down because the click bait title.
Environmental pollution
You guys should have gone to jail.
You are not serious
🤣🤣🤣😅😅
This is legit wildfires in deserts cause deserts are not
