- A Farmer was using a Combine to bail wheat straw, when "something" caused a spark (later determined to be a piece of metal, by the Farmer) and caught the field on fire. The "first fire" burned 12.6 acres, but didn't affect the bailed wheat. The 2nd fire, same field, about two hours later, covered 14.1 acres, but, burned all of the bailed wheat and the field. Nearby homes were protected.
Our regular turn out gear protects us. In the Georgia Heat Outdoors, we don’t usually wear a lots. We let our brush trucks or engines do the heavy work.
This being an “open, plowed field” made conditions much easier for us to attack, as dressed.
If this had been “heavy underbrush”, we would have “suited up”, for sure.
Thanks for your comment.
It is interesting to see how wildfires are fought in other countries. Here in Germany, we are more concerned about safety and fight the fire from the burnt area (also known as the black area). This has the advantage that the fire runs away from you rather than towards you.
If you notice, the wind is blowing “away”, as the firefighter is attacking the fire line. Safety is our concern also. Thank You for watching.
I was hau;ing hay in a different field when this started.
Then the second time it started I was in the field when the second one started about 60 to 80 years away from me.
Awesome! Good job. The only thing I'm wondering is if you guys got brush gear...
It’s called basic PPE
I don't think you would have to worry about the house with that green grass in between.
This is so unsafe. All it takes is a quick shift of the wind and this guy would be toast. It's odd that you'd be posting such unsafe practices to UA-cam. You'd think you'd want to hide this video.
In their defense I know all these people and as far as I know no one has ever been injured. These people know what they are doing and how to put out a fire. You don't critisize the people who could save your house or your life...
