If you aren't complain you are doomed.

To be fair, this is something that should have been prevented. An example of a fire that was caused from a baby reveal party.... burning who knows how many acres..... plus all of the other fires that are burning at the same time. Hell, the state can't even handle the fires. I wouldn't be surprised if it crosses into another state causing further destruction. Insurance as hell probably wouldn't cover. But considering the location, I'd imagine the rates would be thru the roof and would cover fires. In that case, it would be cheaper to have the house burn down probably. And to be fair, the fire department can at least have a third party or another section under the department that handles messes they caused. The other issue is the environmental factors. How is the fire retardant going to affect the lands in the area? the wild life? Is the pavement drive-able still? Or will it cause dangerous sliding? Water supply? Another issue, the porous housing there. The reason the retardant doesn't wash off is because of the material. Most homes in the east coast have vinyl siding. Most if not all would wash right off probably or stick and the whole siding would need replacing. If not, slather some paint. But it shouldn't be out of my own pocket unless I am going to be reimbursed. To replace siding on the entire house would probably cost a few grand. Who the hell has money like that?

The other issue involves construction... Why were the homes not built for fire protection? Because its cheaper to put all the cost on buyers. Plus a lot of people in the area has money.... The people who don't are homeless....

No one is ever...like ever ..not grateful for a firefighter. Ever.

HEE Luminati true

God damn right 👍👍

True

with toxic shit all over the place. they only came in cause people are gonna get sick from it. its no different than having mold all over the place. if you breath it in its not gonna be good.

__seany boii__ lol

The video said they helped clean around 20 homes. So most people obviously refused the help :)

@@nitehawk9270 No one refused, because fire department didn't ask permission to help and there were only ~20 homes that got covered with it. Fire wasn't even close to those homes and wind blew that pink stuff to there, that's why they went to clean up. It's a normal thing and it didn't cost any money.

@@peeterl.2016 Didn't think the wind would pick it up that much. I'm glad you have the equipment over there we have very little in the way of large aerial water/retardant bombers in AUS. Which is why we do get help from the US and Canada in fighting the fires here when needed. Just turns out the end of your season, there's a period before our peak season starts. But with global weather changing unfortunately I don't think in 15 years that equipment will be accessible.

@@nitehawk9270 massive fires like that can actually create tornadoes. It's just simple convection currents

@@AustinMichael Fires have to be fairly hardcore to do that or have other local factors at play. I know California had some pretty bad fires in 2018 that included fire tornados. But I didn't think that fire was as serious. But it seems fire intensity is increasing across various parts of the world. The fires are getting large enough in Australia they create their own weather systems. It use to be rare, but is happening more frequently now.

Its their job (the government) to clean it up

@@Curtis.Carpenter doesn't change the fact that they are saving lives

@@turtleguy123r3 doesn't change the fact that they go home to their families. See that sentence is pointless right? Your comment is in that same category .

Thank you i appreciate the love and kind from everyone on the west coast. Greetings from rural Pennsylvania

Damn That profile picture tho, you look traile park af.

WTF that does supposed to mean?

Tony L what you talking about?

Ahhhh but ain’t that America

little houses on the hillside

The width of the fan of pressurized water is not that big on regular units. Remember, they have to wash everything. I'm sure there has to be a company out there with a commercial washer with a wider fan and more pressure that could do one or two houses a day

like... the fire department?

on walls of paint? on windows? lmao

Poop The problem with that would be it would most likely damage your home. Different materials can take different water pressure. Even my pressure washer can weather down brick.

@Dirty Burger You out yet?

Ah those pesky "forever" chemicals

Ya'know I'd rather deal with that later than have to deal with all the houses burnt to the ground. You have to stop the fire somehow anyways so you'll have to deal with it one way or another. Rather use it than not.

@@somedude2492 if they would actually deal with structure fires instead of letting it burn so it can jump from house to house would prevent that. instead cover everything with cancer causing chemicals

its toxic to.

@@imchris5000 What do you even mean by this?

El Goldo Bad Hombres Paintball You’ve obviously never tried selling a home

-Why your house is a bit pink? -Fire. -Fire? -Yes. Fire.

I think that stuff causes cancer unfortunately

please never spell "kool" like that.

ya, cause then when folks get cancer they can sew you.

0:53 "But neighbors aren't complaining"

Nobody in this video was complaining

Beast _ Gago No, throughout tine it will like not work. Like a fire extinguisher you have to replace every couple of years

MonsterJamShows yup but since how many fires there have been it will work for one or two more fires

If everything around them is already burnt there won't be any more fires in that particular area. Use your brain.

Ron Roberts lmao, I'm sick and you made me laugh which made me cough. I couldnt stop coughing. I hate you. It hurt really bad.

Kian Something if it was that black guy would be licking the floor .lol just kidding it's just a joke take it easy!!!

No triggered people have gotten to us yet haha

Lol😁😁😁

Kian Something koolaid isnt gooey but nice joke

Kian Something *TRIGGERED!!!!!!!!!* LOL Nice Joke

Imagine someone only cutting in the part where you talk about how it looks like and it sounds like all you do is complaining

@@kob8876 i didnt see anyone complain in the video or any reports of people complaining lmao

Who is complaining? I only heard people thanking the fire fighters??

He looks like Gru.

I bet youre the really messy neighbor

Nah I think he just wants to get the goo off, he doesn’t sound mad, he just ain’t tryna pay for

Sure it might be annoying to get off, but it's better than not having any house at all. It certainly wouldn't be a problem to be slightly grateful.

All you saw was a 20 second clip of him saying there’s still pink stuff, and that he’s going to file a claim and the fire department is siding with him and willing to send documents. I’d like to have it taken care of as well. It’s foolish to assume he’s not grateful

They’re just calling it how it is. Grow up

@@Mrmudbone_gaming he's joking dumbass

How do you know he's joking "dumbass"?

It's ok guys, I just got off the phone with the Retardents attorney. They say they are agreeing to Not file a lawsuit for defamation of character stemming from the use of the name Retardent. If and only IF the material name "GOO, FROM SCOOBY DOO" is used as its proper name for the material. Of course that's way to much to say over the radio so pilots can probably just run the acronym GFSD or GOODOO.

Wala Lopez retardant as a word exsisted before people who are mental were referred to as retarded

notanonymous it was a SJW joke lol but you're the best for explaining yourself and not replying with an insult, i like you

Wala Lopez I figured it was a joke but in case it wasn't i decided to drop my two cents anyway 👍 Nikola Panther most likely meaning 'to slow' I'm not a linguist but what you saw in the sheet music was probably a cognate

notanonymous welll of course lol. I was playing it :-), thats my point

Nikola Panther hahaha I misunderstood again 🤦‍♂️ I'll just quit the internet for the day

tPATRICKPL well said.

So stereotypical to blame america if people misunderstand a news report. You are an idiot

American part was unnecessary, but my point exactly. Everyone is grateful for what the firefighters did to save their homes. They are grateful for the firefighters coming back and helping clean up (which is 100% charity, and not their job). They are simply explaining that the fire retardant is hard to clean and that they are seeking further help to better clean the retardant up.

Yeah, because anyone hesitant to believe that these people are geniunely grateful for public services must be a super mean American! Seriously, get your generalizations and xenophobia out of here. You look like such a tool

tPATRICKPL Reading comprehension and critical introspection are the first casualties of a weakened language arts program in a subpar educational system.

I agree!

Right that rare cobra motor would've got burnt to shit aha

thought I was the only one who saw that lol I miss my 95.Thing had balls for a stock auto lincoln from 95.That 4.6 was one of the best motors ever made.Damn the air ride that ruined alot of them.Fastest car for under 3 grand thats for sure.Can pick some up for even under 2.

The camaro didn't get so lucky😒

0-60 in over 6 seconds? that thing is slow as fuck i pick them out of my front grille, throw it in the flames

Did you see anyone complaining ?

No one is complaining, they are giving praise and even more praise because they came back to help clean it up

And why are all the reporters Asian?

Yeah....it says BBLK PRL....

says u

Jet washs use hardly any water....

Zombie4loan stfu it could have been water out of the sea for all you know foh

If it washes off with water do you really think painting it would work...

jessy beland Do you know how salt works lmao

Claim is for payment for power washing or something similar. Firefighters couldn't clean it so he is trying to get more help.

That's exactly why they did that because even though they saved their homes they were pretty sure they were going to get sued and don't be surprised if they still don't get sued because this is America we're ass backwards

High five!🖑

i would too with cancer causing toxics all over the place. i bet many pets died after a while.

@Jesus Reyes hate to inform you but the fire was not in that area. the wind blew it over them houses and that is the only reason the firefighters cleaned it up. so, yes, i would rather it burned down and then rebuilt from the insurance money. no one will have the chance of getting cancer then. pets and wild animals die from that shit.

@Jesus ReyesWhile fire safety continues to be a severe concern, scientific research has shown that when added to furniture, flame retardant chemicals weren’t beneficial. On top of that, other studies have shown that fire retardant chemicals may also be hazardous to our health

@@itstheotherwhitemeat a dose like that wont give you cancer. Especially if you only get a small amount of exposure. If this stuff was dropping over your house every day then yeah you would have an elevated risk. Also they dont dump it on furniture, they dump it on trees and brush.

@@frstrspndr1478 nice try. it like saying a little mold is o.k.

They aren’t?

oh boy i hope this is a joke

Its a chemical that turns to goo and is pretty much fireproof. Water puts fires out, retardant stops fires from spreading. Its pink because they dye it pink so they can see from far away what they have already coated and don't waste any (because its very very expensive)

So it's a prevention?

Yes it doesn't extinguish fires it just stops them from spreading.

Oh yeah yeah

Those were three words

Damn it

Better watch out for the bears now.

they SHOULD target homes, when they're in danger

I dont think it was accidental, they dropped it onto the houses as a precaution. Why risk more fires from embers when you can douse the entire neighborhood, and fight the active fire with all available units

Dave Kauffman Jr we don't go back and clean anything up on the east coast and our tankers hit homes every year. I say they went above and beyond. They are outstanding.

I was living in Oregon during there giant ass fire. So much retardent on so many homes, and it was volenteer fire depts helping clean around the srea

The firefighters didn't have to do shit!!! You could have simply called your insurance company, explain what has happened and they'd pay out for professionals to clean it up. Which would take time and a wack ton more money, why not just use your taxes... that is why they exist. ASK YOURSELF would you rather clean up the exterior for a couple week (with help), go through insurance or move into a new home because it burnt down? Your comment is dumb and ignorant. You have a thick skull to where you are blind sighted by the fact these guys risk their lives to save you, your family, pets, property, neighbors, etc. and you should feel bad for discrediting these men. Men unlike yourself who can't recognize bravery.

Funbgs2 that makes no sense, sorry.

Karpov Liam sure, try call the firefighters next time you're getting mugged

So try

Karpov Liam Some of all types of people are like that.

Karpov Liam that so offensive, my brother is a cop, they don't just hurt people. they do things for the great or good. There is some cops that do that, but it's because they really weren't train well. Would you rather have house burnt/wildfire or have loose gang members shoot up cities and cause death and damages your house, they can also cause wildfire and house setting on fire

ceedaddy No one in this video were ungreatful wtf

MonsterJamShows I know fuckin morons just typing "so ungrateful ugh" when they never state they are

Yea DIPSHIT ..the guy at 1:18 was really grateful..he plans to file a claim with his insurance company cause the fire fighters couldn't wash off perfectly the fire retardant off after 2 tries. The 20 homes mentioned in the video that were saved appeared to be very grateful but in general as I said there appear to be so many ungrateful people in this world. A person does 99 good deeds and they will pick out the 1 bad thing that was not done completely or correctly...

1:18 the old man plans to sue the city thru his insurance company ....he doesn't sound to grateful...wtf

ceedaddy doesn't mean he's ungrateful it means he's trying to save money on his water bill that would add up to alot to wash all that off

The chemicals are clear, they put dye in the chemicals so they can see where they have already covered so they don't waste any of the expensive chemicals. And as I'm sure everybody knows, red dye stains very badly.

and then your insurance premium goes through the roof it's not just a free new house

Also keep in mind that a new house increases your property value, which in turn increases your taxes. I've seen it happen before where people's house burns down, insurance builds new house, property taxes go up and they lose the house because they can't afford the new taxes. It also happens a lot with the people from extreme makeover home edition. Side note it is also why you'll see farm's with old dilapidated buildings and barns that re falling apart, they don't tear them down because if they do it'll increase the value of the property and they'll have to pay more taxes..

Javier Cervantes No one is crying you dumb fuck

MonsterJamShows wtf go smoke crack u stupid

Javier Cervantes You know if you're going to call someone stupid please correct your spelling first.

Javier Cervantes Oooooooooooo

Next time actually watch the video before you make yourself sound stupid in the comments

no one's suing them? he filed a claim
