2:17: All Units Responding to Wildland Fire Response

[@bobhackwell1596]

Looks like one farmer put out more fire than 20 trucks and three helicopters.

[@dfwprodriver2752]

My dad was a Sgt with the WSP! I tell you what that patrol brought back memories!

[@alek488]

How did they get all those units from the middle of nowhere

[@MLFIREVIDEOS]

Most of them are 4x4 or 6x6 with large tires that are able to traverse the wild lands and get to the fire.

[@alek488]

@@MLFIREVIDEOS I mean where are the fire stations lol. were the units from everywhere across the county?

[@MLFIREVIDEOS]

Oh I apologize. We have very strong mutual aid agreements so usually fires of this size require a 'county wide mobilization' in which any and all available units from the 15 districts in the county will respond. Usually 1 to 3 units each but combined makes for an impressive response. Hope that helps.

[@stevemclaughlin6572]

these crews did a awesome job putting out this fire. Job well done Firefighters

[@dfwprodriver2752]

You can tell who the pros are because they're driving in the black.

[@skitzochik]

wow thats alot of firetrucks... must've knocked that thing right down

[@trevorsmathers9952]

What state was this in? And how big did the fire get

[@MLFIREVIDEOS]

Trevor Smathers Washington state and the fire got to about 2300 acres.

[@trevorsmathers9952]

MLFIREVIDEOS wow it was good size one, I only ask cause some of the aircraft I saw is the ones we use out here in cali, so I was curious.

[@Zach-sv7ej]

[@lantismannen]

[@maxhallman1036]

Creating a fire break

[@jstbig1]

Saving that wheat also

[@JakeRoy98]

Farmers do this all the time where I'm from in eastern Oregon. Making a fire break, you got to do what you got to do.

[@Demicron]

Some old rigs

[@tcthompson3994]

[@dillonmcannnell]

@@MLFIREVIDEOS staying safe we ran few brush calls my dept (Medway Maine fire dept) this week normal fire activities for late may early June. And awesome to hear

[@albertomadeirajr7824]

It is against the law now to fly drones at the fire scene unless the fire dept are using them. (Not really sure on that)

[@MLFIREVIDEOS]

ALBERTO MADEIRA JR This isn't done footage. I was up on a ridge over looking the fire.

[@bethcrittenden2076]

would it be possible to use some of your raw video, if you still have the files, for a wildfire training program for firefighters? please email me at [e-mail]. thanks.

[@rg6718]

Would be curious to know if this is drone footage being taken while firefighting aircraft are in the air??

[@MLFIREVIDEOS]

R G Absolutely NOT. I was perched up on a plateau about 1.5 miles away using my Nikon P900 83x zoom. Thank you for your concern.

[@rg6718]

In that case, nice work on the video!!

[@911film9]

Awesome footage!! They need some dozers.
