Awesome video! Thank you for your service - even if I am from Germany, I just have to say it's incredible what you're achieving for the local community.

[@latunacanyonfirerescue]

Excellent documentation of this fire. Well done, and Rest Easy Charlie Morton.

[@eptyr12]

I’ve been on big fires, when we have a shift that goes well, no matter how tired we are, there is a sense of euphoria and satisfaction. I have seen firefighters cry with emotion at a success.

[@sassylady2001]

Thank you so much for all you do.

[@johnlng6680]

This is an exceptional documentary! So well done. Thank you San Bernardino Fire. I now have a much better idea of what is involved in what you do.

[@sassylady2001]

Great job - thank you so much for all you do, Firefighters. Such a tough, grueling, difficult job. Excellent video. Thank you for posting it.

This is a really good account of the Eldorado Fire. This fire coming shortly after the Apple Fire which started south of Oak Glen. They had just gotten the Apple Fire out when this started from the west and headed east and north. Terrible. I had to evacuate twice. Eldorado Ranch Park will finally reopen in late June 2022.

[@TimFromLA]

Ah, the El Dorado Fire. Thank you for your service, as you saved our conference camp. That camp is De Benneville Pines.

Excellent job Brothers!! Sorry for all lost... Greetings from Portugal (Fire Chief)

A fire going up a mountain is terrifying especially when it's crowing

[@georgecoons6872]

Now the good side about this fire is every seed oak nuts is going to sprout after heavy snows and rains.🎉

[@sarahbierman5490]

God bless the fire fighters and all that fight these fires and try to save lives and properties! Good ems etc.. God be with you all, these fires suck!

[@pinstripingbybear.]

Amazing work men..... thank you to all who helped keep the fire away we are in debt to you all

[@kingofmetal1961]

Um, I think you meant to say Amazing work Men & Women!

[@sassylady2001]

@@kingofmetal1961 Most of us are not hung up on words and gender. For me it has always been universal that the word "men" includes both men and women. Californians and progressive are hung on on words and gender - what a waste.

[@Concertspectator]

Awesome video! Excellent work from the crews, to the LE officers, to the citizens, all the way down to the inmate FF’s. Will there be a Bobcat Fire episode as well?

[@SBCOUNTYFIRE]

ericrios43 Thank you! We will not have an episode on the Bobcat Fire, as the fire is based on Los Angeles County.

[@Concertspectator]

San Bernardino County Fire Department Ahhh didn’t even think about that. Again, great work! Thanks for everything you guys do. - A San Diego County Resident

[@ffandrewd2986]

Awsome video! Love your guys work! Stay safe, kick ass.

[@LKMedia_Official]

Incredible video

[@Starrydraws]

I remember going to something for my senior photo while it was ablaze and had ash falling from the sky all the way in Orange county CA. All day it was surreal to see all the smoke and ash

[@elnogga]

RIP mate

[@vwfox1100]

They are all Hero´s!

[@codymartin9703]

Thank you firefighters!!!!

[@AaronLKinney]

Yea. Im a wildland firefighter from AZ, We could have been there helping you guys out, but do to the pandemic our agency restricted us to "Available In State/Local Only" We even had a fire start near our home town, and do to the pandemic, they could not get resources for almost the first two days, all we could literally do was stand back and watch it burn, it was burning way to hot and way to fast for it to be safe to put only one local IA crew And Just Two Engines in front of it and the head of the fire was 4 to 5 miles across burning in a open field.

[@christianascherin5306]

is the fire out? thanks from up in big bear

[@dominokidsoccerbrawlstars]

Amazing…

[@keeganrobinson3680]

Great video. Keep it up!

[@gooseyoncrack]

Moment of silence for all the legends lost in these fires

[@pikapika7936]

With all the fires, it is surprising that there is anything left to still burn. Hopefully everyone got out alright.

[@jasperadrianbacalzoscje4583]

We can prevent forest fires and you can fight forest fires but you will never stop them. Forest fires are also a disaster the firemen must attending into the forest fires to let some areas burn when there is too much brush and the area is not critical but when fires start going towards housing or towns it should be stopped and or diverted. Fire forest can be human causes are many such unattended campfires, railroad sparks and even industrial operations can start forest fires. In forest the biggest problem being built in areas that prone to fires, and out of reach by fire hydrants. What needs to be prevented is such large fires. These fires have largely been caused by several factors of course all being human caused. One issue is that we keep putting out fires. This allows more down and dead fuel to build up. Finally it gets to a point that when it does catch on fire, it is massive and causes damage to the ecosystem that is not good. Another is the tree huggers protecting the forest. If we don’t want nature to effect human things we need to be managed. Thinning, control burns, fire breaks, defensible spaces, and so on so far. We cannot prevent massive forest fires, heat and warming increased rapidly, dry forest more prone to fire. We can do the most is involved local community in it. So I think that timely report helps to prevent fire in new areas and also ban poaching in forest park, illegal poaching leads to forest fires. I also think that If the logging slash is treated and a replanted clear cut some tree is less flammable than an unmanaged forest and less flammable than individual tree selection. But most clear cuts tend to be limited in size so a large fire will simply burn around the harvested area.

So sad. All the birds and animals that died or lost their homes. I’m from the NW of Scotland and we’ve seen a massive rise in wild/hill fires over the last 20 years and they’re directly linked to climate change. Even now, after the coldest wettest April I can remember, and I’m 46, weeks have a warning that we are at extreme risk for wild fires. All our firefighters are volunteers and they work hard to quell the fires. Seeing these massive fires in North America makes me so sad - a lot are caused by morons doing things they shouldn’t and that then results in these fires that cause misery and pain. RIP to all those, including the brave firefighters, who lose their lives fighting the fires.

[@billiamc1969]

It is a shame how our government is so badly broken and divided to the point where cooperation is near impossible at times like these...The Federal government is a complete failure at this point and the possible replacement wont be much better

[@ThisChickIsCrazyyy]

What do these fires have to do with the government. 🙄

[@hrnytinoker4146]

California government doesn't make proper use of the federal funding they receive to maintain the forests all across the state its why these fires go from a few thousand acres to 10k+ acres, and to clarify the failure lies within state government not federal its the states job to maintain things within their state.

[@danielfirecopter]

The fire started small then like a few minutes later it looked like the fire was going out until another few minutes later the Fire just spreaded so fast it looked like a volcano that the sky later on in the days made it look like SoCal was in an apocalypses.

[@nairdan6472]

The worst thing about this is that this zones are becoming deserts very fast, without vegetation, trees, and no rain near, forests can't recover and thus the areas afected become deserts. Truly sad

[@paranoidandriod]

It creates a lot more mudslides/erosion as well...
