I was hau;ing hay in a different field when this started. Then the second time it started I was in the field when the second one started about 60 to 80 years away from me.

Our regular turn out gear protects us. In the Georgia Heat Outdoors, we don’t usually wear a lots. We let our brush trucks or engines do the heavy work. This being an “open, plowed field” made conditions much easier for us to attack, as dressed. If this had been “heavy underbrush”, we would have “suited up”, for sure. Thanks for your comment.

It’s called basic PPE

It is interesting to see how wildfires are fought in other countries. Here in Germany, we are more concerned about safety and fight the fire from the burnt area (also known as the black area). This has the advantage that the fire runs away from you rather than towards you.

If you notice, the wind is blowing “away”, as the firefighter is attacking the fire line. Safety is our concern also. Thank You for watching.

Awesome! Good job. The only thing I'm wondering is if you guys got brush gear...

I don't think you would have to worry about the house with that green grass in between.

This is so unsafe. All it takes is a quick shift of the wind and this guy would be toast. It's odd that you'd be posting such unsafe practices to KZbin. You'd think you'd want to hide this video.
