[@iamgabriel5823]

This is the best coverage on youtube. The news stations just have a bunch of weenies out in the field who are afraid to get in close cuz they might get dirty or get their hair messed up.

[@muddhog5733]

The Firemen are having to do what the lazy homeowners should have done long before fire season started CLEAN UP AROUND YOUR HOUSE

That Bear, opening the garage door...must have had some practice.

[@lawdog490]

The bears by me in the Pa. Pocono's car open car doors to get to food left inside.

[@AdamWennhold]

The joy of the Christmas Valley/Meyers save is that it was mostly the local Tahoe Basin/Northern Nevada crews doing work as the California Machine was largely cut off over the pass. Local knowledge and work ethic in their own backyard paid off.

[@TMarotti3366]

Saw a post from South Lake Tahoe fire on the spot fire behind oneidas st off of pioneer and Mandan (3 streets from mine) Literally said “this is our town our fight) they were the only ones on the spot fire. Can’t thank them enough for saving all of that area

[@matthewmcnab5212]

Wow, really great shots. That first shot with that beautiful green paramedic ambulance was a great opener (Guardian Ambulance, it looked like). Good camera work and thanks to all the first and emergency responders helping out with the fires.

[@derrickw5204]

California has a contingency of EMS agencies throughout the state that responds to wildfires . Guardian Ambulance is based out of Pasadena .

[@deibert1]

yogi done upped his game from simple theft to burglary. all joking aside i pray for the fire crews and the residents.

[@Rileymill518]

Prayers o the first responders who are working tirelessly 24/7. I can’t imagine what it’s like.

[@sandralouth3103]

Breaks my heart. First drought, then tons of dead trees from the pine beetle, then decades of Federal land not maintained. Disaster. Loss of hopes, dreams, memories, animals, majesty.

[@michaelvalencia7234]

I just had knee surgery and had to cut my season short, I feel bad cause my crew is out on this fire

[@tjlightningbolt]

This is what you people get for clear cutting over 2 MILLION acres of wet lush fire resistant Redwood forests! ... And every mountain range of ancient wet lush fir forests you could! YOU MADE THE DROUGHT! There is only a few thousand acres of redwoods left... out of 2 million acres! The west coast has been logged 3 times over! You people supported the Timber industry! Now reap the rewards! You deserve everything you people get! NO MERCY!!!!!!

[@michaelvalencia7234]

@Thomas Lightningbolt pretty sure that was the federal government and most fires that have started this year have been on federal land… blame trump for cutting money to federal firefighters during his 4 years

[@Zoneeee13]

@@michaelvalencia7234 it’s all calis fault with ur poor forest management

[@michaelvalencia7234]

@Chris_s209 you do realize most forests in California are federal regulated… it’s not California’s fault it’s the federal government…

[@HerpDerpNV]

@@michaelvalencia7234 Calfire's own stats state otherwise. Please stop parroting that talking point you just copy/paste from others.

Great camera work, stay safe.

[@greyjay9202]

Its a strange feeling to be sitting here in rain-lashed northern New England, watching this video of drought-stricken California, going up in flames. I pray for the safety of fire crews and residents who are up against it, right now.

[@dougcarnahan4228]

Poor bear wants to seek safe refuge!! My gosh this fire is beyond me!

[@AnthonyG13EmergencyVideos]

wow, great footage and catches. I always tune in to north tahoe fire channel whenever im visiting my grandparents in Truckee tahoe area. cool to see em in action. any idea what agency the unit at 4:48 is.

[@GarbageTrucksofCalifornia]

Reno Or something from Nv. Any trucks with blue lights are possible nv Trucks

Great job on the video footage! Stay safe and I hope yall get some rain soon!

[@danrussell3439]

Excellent video…thanks for sharing

[@john6218att]

just wondering how many gallons those trucks carry? doesn't look like more than 500

[@spencerdessent2267]

500-1000gallons is the typical storage. Most run 500-750gal units

[@gmredstar]

Anyone know what that CA-TMJ marked white pickup with green stripes is? Some sort of emergency vehicle but which agency is that? Curious

[@franklewis6943]

At 12:15? It's CA-TMU, not "J". That's one of USFS Tahoe Management Unit's battalion chiefs. They're a different unit than the one responsible for Tahoe National Forest (CA-TNF).

[@tomjoad6270]

I thought this season was going to take out Sonora but it looks like it is Tahoe instead. Dang this is bad.

[@LKemp-lr1ky]

Don't understand. See trucks running up and down the hwy, fire, trucks, fire, more trucks...more fire, more trucks. . .

[@chazman4461]

They are all assigned different tasks and going to different areas.

My, My, My are you the angry one. Take the time to review the forestry regulations put in place by the Clinton administration in its final years. Also review the recommendations that were presented by the various environmental groups and adopted by said administration. In other words you know not of which you speak.

[@RainsWorldVegasSlots]

@@NBZW gawd thank you . This person knows nothing of which he’s speaking . My husband a fireman in Los Angeles he’s wrong wrong wrong

[@NBZW]

@@RainsWorldVegasSlots At the time the Clinton administration was making these rules I was aquatinted with a US Forest service architect who attended the meetings. The comments made too me at the time were as best as I remember: “These damm Fools involved with the various conservation groups have absolutely no common sense and the government representatives are no better. What they are proposing will destroy our national forests by fire and the public utilities will most likely be blamed .”
