NO MERCY! They brought it down on all of us because of Industrial GREED! This is what happens when stupid sheeple/ people allow the timber industry to wipe out all the ancient forests causing a drought! No old growth trees in the mountains left! there is nothing to grab onto the clouds as they pass over so there is less rain. And when the rains DO come there is no ancient forests to hold the water during the wet season, to release during the dry season!!!! and the rest of you supported the timber industry so shut up you deserve to loose everything you have!

Not too sure what joseph pawelczyk got jammed in his ass, but on my crew, your opinions and conspiracy chatter will make for some good conversation in the buggy. 44 years into wildland- CRWB, ENGB, FAL1, etc. Shots, engines, hand crews, fuels mods., Type1&2 IA, Fuels, WFM, and so on. Fed., State, County and Muni experience. Retired but still arduous and active on a Fed. Hand Crew and Engines. The only thing you avoid talking about is how shitty the hot buckets (often cold and unidentifiable once delivered to spike) are-unless you want to be "advised" that your chow options have been reduced to the crushed, partially vandalized and picked through MREs' in the bottom of your IA gear.

I lived in Magalia, CA. After the Camp Fire, I was gobsmacked at the sheer stupidity streaming through the comments section of videos about the fire. People saying things like "bombs were planted" "this isn't a natural fire because the trees are still standing"--one, living trees don't incinerate like dead wood will, and two, every single residence above the Reservoir was on propane, and when the fire reached that area, the tanks exploded, hence the "bombs".

Karen its called Willful ignorance and it is very prevalent in America. Karen, This is a Function of Climate Change. Humans have been burning fossil fuels "Ancient co2 that was in the atmphere and where the Atmospheric temperatures were 300-400F". Co2 regulates the temperature of the planet. Eventually Human Civilization will start to collapse as most humans escape from the Us states that are in the hot zone, causing a humanitarian crisis of lack of affordable "and available' hosing near the Canadian border. Co2 emissions are also causing temperatures to climb in India and Africa. Slash burning in Amazon and Congo are causing co2 levels to sky rocket. Melting of permafrost in the Arctic is releasing huge amounts of co2 due to decomposition. Methane hydrates at the bottom of the ocean are starting to melt and release huge amounts of methane and that is 10 times more powerful.

I had a teacher in highschool who was a fire captain at one of our local fire stations. He always joked with us that Teaching was his second job even though teaching was the job that paid. well one day we had a really bad fire, like all hands on deck, even people off duty need to get over here and help. so he gets the call, and he looked at us told us he'd be right back walked down to the history office grabbed one of the other teachers popped back into our classroom and said 'gotta go. work calls,' and that's when I realized that being a fire fighter or cop or even an EMT, any kind of first responder isn't just a job. It's your LIFE. It's who you are, and that's amazing. These men and women are amazing.

Huge respect to the men and women who fight the fires. I don't know why so much focus on the family who has it SO hard after choosing to have 3 children, live in a huge house on a large property in a beautiful small town. It's emotionally hard to be away from loved ones, but dealing with day to day chores is just life. I know quite a few single mothers who do all that and have to work to support themselves and their children on top of that.

It’s called the National Guard, both Air and Army Guard units deploy to fire/disasters. The problem is they are the last to be called. Four C-130 Air Guard/reserve unit’s have MAFFs and some states have Army Guard with helicopters with Bambi buckets. Congress should be changing the command of fire response so Guard units become in command once the fire get to large. DOD could also use humvees, Oshkosh 6x6, 8x8 that would go up for auction and add firefighting water tank/pump skid units to those vehicles. But I guess I’m too practical in my thinking 🤔 for this to used.

That pilot's wife didn't sound like a very good wife. Basically saying that he's leaving her unprotected with the kids and that he's not there to protect them. Well maybe she could do her part buy a weapon know how to use it and defend your family while your husband's out saving lives. She should be grateful that she has a husband that is a serious straight up hero. It takes a lot of selflessness to put the needs of the many above those closest to you. she should be more grateful that she has someone who is so honorable as her husband.

Ppl don’t understand fire is nature’s friend it puts required goodness back into the soil and it allows sunlight to reach the ground and new growth to start. The American Indians knew this ,they actually use to do like semi controlled burns on grass lands etc,everything comes back thicker greener and healthier. Some with fires in sth America. When I learnt this I started adding fireplace ash to my pot plants,I also go out and breath on my plants cause plant lifes food is co2. It’s so good to meet someone who knows the truth of it.

10:19 "she's managing a home with 3 kids pretty much by herself...." Single mothers have to do this all the time. They also have to pack up all the boxes and move from one place to another all by themselves. And, they have to figure out how to repair things that break in their homes as well. At least she DOES have a husband and father who comes home to her and the children...even if it's not everyday. And, she has the added bonus of a husband who is providing for them financially...something single parents don't usually have. Not only that, she gets to be home for her kids and gets to raise them herself in a beautiful home as opposed to letting daycare providers and others do it. Count your blessings! Just saying....

I remember my forestry instructor telling to get to be a smoke jumper you have to be so competitive when your alarm goes off your feet race to see which one hits the floor first. I ve seen a fire nado once on a control burn with lots of fuel that was really dry. It wasn t very big but began as fire then moved away from the heat and flames and was visible with smoke and ash and at this stage picked up a small tree that had been pushed over and cut by a drum chopper but was still attached to its roots. ,then fell as vortex died out. Here in NC we have some areas with peat soils that catch fire and smolder as long as there's enough peat/fuel. We extinguish these fires using a large sprinkler system and pumping water from a source and saturating the ground. Black and very nasty work that's not for an old retiree like myself lol. My thanks and respects for our nation's fire fighters and my prayers for safety, precipitation and calm winds.. God bless you all.

Phoschek Powder consists of Ammonium Phosphate Gum and Iron Oxide. The Ammonium Phosphate is the retardant, the Gum is to add viscosity to the retardant when mixed with water and the Iron Oxide is a marker to enable the spotter planes and tanker pilots to see the areas already covered.

41:28 fire-activated seeds are truly awesome. When the fire releases the seeds, it has already cleared away the "competition" (dead brush, other low plants) so the seeds have a way to grow and access the sunlight. Truly amazing evolution of seeds.

Family is precious. But, if no one put this type of work as the priority, then the families around the fire would suffer more. He’s doing it so other families can continue being a family. Which is also precious work.

No one else is flying the plane, they need him pretty bad. His family is doing very well, and they sure enjoy the money he pours into their accounts. These things need to be stopped and once they start, this is the guy to do it. Maybe saving people from burning to death is more important than spending even most days with family, because ur making sure a shitload of other people see their family and don't burn to death .

You know what? I LOVE the inmates who volunteer to help with wild fires and we certainly need them. If prison is about rehabilitation, what better rehab is there than to train to become a firefighter and work with Cal Fire and/or the Forestry Service? Doing this work gives a person their dignity back, and I don't care what they did in the past, they're becoming those "useful members of society" we keep hearing about. But more importantly, they feel like they're contributing to the greater good and actually making a difference. That alone can change someone's outlook on life.

As a 20 Year retired veteran of the fire service in upstate N.Y Sullivan, Ulster counties we have had some pretty big wild fires in my time. As I watch this, and even back then, these guys are my hero's of the fire service. I say that because they have the equipment and experience I could only dream of having and working. Around my area it's mostly structure fires, auto accidents etc. Even though I'm retired, I'm still part of the brotherhood for life. It's in my blood and still would if I could. Also respect to the Inmate fire crews who do a great job at CAL. Fire. Just a shame they cannot continue after their sentence, which would give them a great chance of a career and follow a straight path. I love the wife's warning sign: Forget the dogs beware of the wife. Hell, hath no fury as a mama protecting her child(ren)!

It isn't the dead snags due to insect infestations that are the cause of the massive fires. It is about a century of aggressive fire suppression - so the under-story hasn't burned off like it used to. That has produced a massive easy-to-burn fuel supply.

I'm sure they aren't complaining about those paychecks going into the bank accounts....

The Thomas Fire...earned the #1 spot. Nothing to be proud of, and I can say that from experience...the Valley Fire earned the #3 most destructive fire in California history and wiped out the Southern third of Lake County, and 1958 homes were destroyed, and 4 deaths...which was a miracle that the fatalities were that low! 2 people in my small community died, as we were in a canyon that was not warned or evacuated.....but the worst part was the only evacuation route was over a 2 lane mountain of switchbacks. Normally, it’s a 20 minute trip from Lake to Napa...this was a 3.5 hour nightmare....flames were licking the heels of the last to get thru the flames. The Emergency crews from other counties including Fire Police etc, were flying up a switchback road that Caltrans had been doing their annual repairs on, leaving cement barricades in the damndest places ...a 2 lane road with each hairpin turn surprising even the CHP who had never driven Hwy 29 before..at night, responding to a killer emergency! God was busy that night performing miracles...nobody died on that road that night, but plenty of people were so unprepared, many had to abandon vehicles that broke down or ran out of gasoline! We had llamas, deer, bears ..tree limbs all flying into the roadway from the winds that the firestorm itself had created! I even saw a river otter waiting to get across the thousands of vehicles in the exodus. The people fleeing averaged 1 mph...but the fire and police in the opposite lane ..flew and screeched around the 10 ro 20 mph max curves. Not an experience anyone should have ... my county has had more than 12 evacs since! ,
