Id give anything to be able to fight fire again, I started in a department that did half wildland and half structure. I ended up on the structure side for 31 years. I should have gone into wildland and stayed there! I always told the guys if they really wanted to find what their made of join a forestry unit. Great video brother, keep up the great work. God's speed.

@ulwimi_oluninzi2 жыл бұрын
It’s a fire wall, they burn everything in the area in a controlled way, so when the bigger fire approaches there is no fuel to keep feeding the fire and that way it stops growing

@gaffersgarage90852 жыл бұрын
There was a lot of different fire behavior in the video, I’m not sure as to which “uncontrolled” clips you are referring too. Where things might “look uncontrolled” when we are putting fire on the ground, those are clips from “ interior burning.” Burning is very situational and weather dependent. Fire is attracted to heat, and so the technique you saw being used is to build a lot of heat inside your burn area, (roughly 300ft off the line) once that fire and heat is established, the edge of the line can then be lit, once lit, the main fire and heat will basically act as a vacuum and it will suck and pull the fire back into itself and away from the edge. There was also some other pretty crazy fire behavior in the video that was NOT from putting fire on the ground. We saw some very extreme fire behavior and intensity this last season due to weather, wind, etc. With that kind of intensity, it is extremely unsafe to engage and sometimes you just gotta wait till things die down a bit before engaging
