El Dorado Fire - 2020

[@karenbond3062]

I just can't imagine. Thank you is not enough to all of the fire crews battling these fires in California, Oregon and Washington. You are heroes. Stay safe.

[@Chris.Davies]

No need to imagine. You've seen it.

[@NoName5589]

USA, Australia, Germany, wherever there is a firefighter, you lads are legends. Absolute legends

[@sunshinesbright60]

Once it jumped the road it got extremely smokey very quickly. Thanking God for each and every one of you on the line, those in the air, and dispatchers. Heros one and all! I'm so very thankful for every moments effort.

[@Hojiii]

These Firefighters are amazing. It must be incredibly frustrating for them not to be able to hold a line like that. Big thank you none the less.

[@nickcovington6454]

Great footage. I'm a fireman here in CA and really appreciate the work that you do- I think the more people that see footage like this, the better. The wind looks pretty gnarly down there.

[@dsmom6898]

I want to thank you Sir for your service and sacrifice. You guys & gals are true heroes.

[@emilyelizabeth7066]

As someone from the East coast that has no experience with fires this is terrifying to see how fast it spreads. Thank God you all made it out

[@mltndeal5120]

I fought wildland fires.... This video shows what spotfires do. This video shows extreme fire behavior wow!!!!!! These firefighters are very brave doing their best to fight fire. I did the ground and pound; type two hand crew. Digging fireline that's the only way to slow down the fire. Spraying water doesn't slow wildfires.

[@angelar3086]

Oh my word! This gives a perspective I could never imagine....now I’m really AFRAID, GREATFUL and THANKFUL for all who are battling these monsters! ❤️🙏❤️

[@mycatnamedseven-up9726]

My late grandfather was a firefighter... I want to follow in his footsteps, but I'm sadly disabled... Stay strong firefighters and NEVER give up hope!!🥰🥰

[@LOL2YOU]

You could always do dispatch and still be apart of the team. Or supply if the department has it. There is always some way to do something.

U can still fight through your prayers...please do, with such a good heart, Jesus Christ will hear u

Man that’s so confusing with all those flames full respect

[@thesunsetreptiles]

way2muchNFO what’s so confusing about it I did 10 years with cal fire before I got hurt

[@jordansheinman3555]

Looks like they are trying to maintain the fire line and some flames jumped across. You see them call in a water drop west side on the hill where you see a small patch of flames. They are working their asses off trying to prevent rhe fire from jumping. Heroes

[@gxgolden1]

Thank God for being so BRAVE to keep fighting those flames, even when they got white-hot. Hard to believe. What a monster.

[@RFredes]

Stay safe, from an Australian firefighter.

We had a busy season this year in Cali I’m not a firefighter but we assist and work up in the front of fire during wildfires doing evacs and things. You all have your season approaching if I’m correct you all stay safe out there

Thank you so much for this awesome footage!! Wow!!!! Total respect for all the brave souls putting their lives in danger for us. I am so ever grateful for all of you. And I am also very sorry to hear about the firefighter who lost his life. My heart goes out to the family & friends of this brave man. RIP

[@bc1016]

Wow those are some crazy fast moving fires. Just shows how difficult it is to fight these fires and you guys put your life on the line. Thank you and God bless.

[@BackcountryExploringAZ]

Thank these guys and gals for their hard work. Wish I could help. I'm a retired wildland guy after 35 years and the body just ain't there anymore.

[@AbelieverofourLord]

You guys sure do have a tuff job! Thanks for your service. Stay safe and GOD bless you and your work.

[@reneefurrer2712]

I recently watched the movie, Only the Brave about the Granite Mountain Hotshots, and I have a new appreciation for all of these wonderful firefighters who risk their lives so that other lives can be spared. God bless them and their families.

[@marthaschafer9367]

fire dept.s from all different towns came together and did their best...these guys are working their hearts out and doing a great job, despite the fire jumping highway 38. they are true hero's !!

[@EWDAVID94]

this is one of the best firefighting videos i've ever watched

[@dezertrecon819]

Damn that jumped quick!! Thanks for showing us all how severe it really is and most importantly thanks for doing what you do 👍🏼

[@stevenuckolls1767]

All I can say is WOW! Amazing to watch until you see your son and all his fellow fire fighters in the mix of it. Stay safe and for gods sake come home soon.now he’s at the Bob cat fire.

Very insightful for someone who lives in Oklahoma my hats go off to the men and women who make a career in fighting fires. Respect.

[@angelar3086]

And a big THANK YOU to the provider of this footage...🙏❤️🙏

[@operationada]

Holy shit man, seeing how fast it happens is absolutely insane.

[@MrBobconner1952]

It's shocking how explosive the fire is. You guys do incredible work

[@dsmom6898]

@Hans Becke this fire was caused by a gender reveal party. It is fueled by hot winds & dry vegetation. Nothing more than that.

[@earthsperfectphotos9765]

4 months ago. Me and my mother where in big bear at an airbnb. From the 2nd to the 4th. Unfortunately felt like we didn't have enough time to there. But had a weird feeling we had to leave. And get home right away. Taking the 38 way up and down. Was such a beautiful day and drive. And boom the next day this fire was born. Was quite unbelievable seeing the area we literally just drove through destroyed.

[@creativecontent9769]

Holy smoke!!!! Literally and figuratively!!!!

[@TheKoppel555]

much respect for those firefighters, they risk everything to try containig those inferno's.

[@pamelalancaster8642]

Thank you for trying to keep the fire in check, you put your lives on the line and there aren’t thanks enough to give you!! You are in my prayers.

[@jeeperp3926]

You don’t appreciate the size and strength of those flames until you see them up close through the camera. Wow!

[@emmieHD]

Bless you all. Thank you for your commitment, bravery, and sacrifices you make. Stay safe!

[@hermosasons1]

What a video. Much better than twitter. You really get a good look on how hard they work and how huge this fire really is. Like I said from Firstpetco these fires are horrible. Those men and women are truly our hero’s. I am enjoying the great footage but not enjoying seeing our frontline suffering just to take care of the people and Mother Nature. Wow wow wow This is THE REAL DEAL

[@daisydela]

Great video. When you are in it, sometimes it’s hard to get a sense that you’ve lost that one and might as well abandon and reposition. From the time that first spot went up mid-slope it was lost. I’ve certainly been there, battling futilely when the fire is racing up the hill. Looking at this now with a bit more perspective, seems like you might as well wrap up and do structure protection on whatever you could save. SoCal fires!

[@Dogsoflittlerock]

It is alive...fire elementals ...they do not mean to do this...but black magicians are manipulating them to burn an rage and ravage...i know this happenens...i was in a spiritual community for 10 years and we studied these things...we did sacred work to protect them...this is spiritual warfare...its hard to imagine such things...but you can see elizabeth clare prophet and the sacred work on youtube...its been 30 years since i was there...and she has passed away... i still believe in the power of the sacred word...i saw and felt it....

[@tylene113]

Awesome video! So interesting how everyone works so good together.

[@marcbyrnes293]

The courage of those fighting these fires is awe inspiring. And much of this effort could be spared with proper management of wild lands and allowing routine burns of dead vegetation when conditions allow it.

[@dsmom6898]

If the wind is blowing hard enough fire breaks & "routine maintenance" or controlled burns, will not help stop or prevent a fire from spreading.

[@mikel9567]

@@dsmom6898 Proper land management beforehand would prevent explosive wildfires. These devestating fires are the result of the piss poor liberal government that is in states like CA, OR and WA. You can't prevent wildfires entirely, and you shouldn't. Wildfires are an essential part of forest growth and health. But you can prevent devestating wildfires that rage out of control and destroy towns.

[@touficjammoul4482]

I'm from different county but I salute those brave men who are fighting a random vicious dangerous enemy.

[@biketothetop]

Excellent video coverage and illustration of what it's like to be the boots on the ground! Heartfelt thanks out to all the firefighters! This is a critical path concerns fire going from one side of the road on the San Bernardino Mountain over toward the mountains on the south side of Big Bear. Once the Fire gets on the uphill side it can move extremely fast as witnessed from this video. That's why it was so critical to hold this line!

[@beverlypoehlman311]

Insane what has happened...Bless all who have suffered and all the animals from this devestation...Bless all firefighters and those helping...😟

The flames are so fierce that the water seems to evaporate before it can have any effects on the fires

[@Gauravkumar-jm4ve]

Those monstrous flames can't be controlled with those few fire fire brigades even 100 fire brigades together can't control them now since weather and wind supporting the fire.. That's unstoppable..by human force

Awesome footage and really shows the many, many working parts in action putting in a huge amount of effort into this area yet having no decisive impact on the fire's progression. Loads of respect to those who held the line but unfortunately once the fire had crossed the highway it's time to admit defeat and find another anchor point.
