Cody, the best way to get an accurate reading with Kestrel weather meters is to hang them in the shade of the vegetation your working in for several minutes then read them. They are so sensitive that standing in direct sun, on pavement, or even a gravel driveway will affect the reading. Been a busy fire season here n Northern California also, keep up the good work and stay safe.

Even if it doesn't seem like much, I'm excited to see all the things my instructor has been talking about in play on a fire. Thanks for your work and keep it up!

Loving these videos, I'm from Australia so seeing how firefighting is done elsewhere is most interesting. Had volunteer crews from your part of the world help out in fires near where I live and vice versa too. A man or woman who volunteers to risk their life to protect other peoples property from fire like you do is a real hero in my book.

Thank you so much for all your work, it's been a couple days since you posted this and I've been following all the progress closely. It looks like you guys are really getting some work done, and I hope they can get it all contained. Afterwards, I hope the people of this state start to realize that we are allowing certain individuals to mismanage our forests and that's what leads to issues like these.

Thanks so much, Mrs. W. and to you as well. The men and women out on the fire lines could not do what they do without the never ending support of their families. People tend to forget the toll it takes on the families left behind. You guys never get the credit you deserve. Love your channel and the message you share with us all. Keep up the great work, it is appreciated by so many. Just curious, is Jack interested in following in his dads footsteps?

Cody, would you mind doing a video about how a homeowner could create a defensible space according to what you've learned while being a wildland firefighter? I'm trying to find out more on home sprinkler fire suppression systems and how they're utilized. I haven't seen much covered on the subject except what people do in Australia.

@wayneessar7489 6 жыл бұрын

hex0rz1 I believe if you look back in his video list there is a bunch of information that he gave when he was clearing up around his workshop and other outbuilding that describe what you want to know. Sorry I don't know exactly which one, perhaps someone else remembers.

@hex0rz1 6 жыл бұрын

Wayne Essar Oh that's right. I remember that, now that you mention it. Okay, well then how about more talk about what he was doing with the sprinklers to protect the historical building. :)
