Station Fire plume timelapse, August 29, 2009

[@DesertOrcaLover]

It's been smoky here in Las Vegas too. Good luck to the fire fighters.

[@adulby]

its cool how you can see the condensation level sitting right above the fire. the warm air is pushing the other air up and its condensing making the other clouds close to the right

[@uncleemph]

Reasonable explanation. I do live in another part of the country. My thought is though these reporters act like it every fire has always been called a "station fire"

[@jcmegabyte]

nice footage - thanks for posting!

[@Ichbinbryan]

What software do u use to speed up videos like this? and does it need to be on a certain resolution?

[@lionstigersclaire]

yeah... i live off allen. i couldn't see the mountains today, it was so smokey.

[@Ichbinbryan]

oh so u just take a picture every 5-6 seconds then put it together into a video? how short do u make each picture? and how long did that take?

[@kevmeistah21]

i live right below the mountains near allen/ new york in pasadena and this smoke/ash is killing me.. this video looks close to home, where was this shot at?

[@savagedias]

Thank you Mr. Wizard.

[@TheUndert0ker]

That's what I was thinking too, very hazy air the last few days, you can really notice it at sunset.

[@DesertOrcaLover]

Depends on where the wind is blowing. I can tell when you can't see the Strip on top of a hill.

[@siikaiz]

starting at 0:28 did something blow up ? look at the smoke and yeah California forest fires are big. Even here in small country like Latvia ( other side of the world - in EU ) I saw this in news.

[@Madchimpz]

I know this is a bad thing but I look at the bright side of this situation. Because of the smoke I'm getting a bunch of days off school and the sky looks beautiful.

[@tom58c]

The smoke is like st. helens when it went. Its just unreal. Hope it well to get it out.

[@DistractionCascade]

amazing footage!

[@omgaclownmonkey1122]

yup, and as we fight fires to save homes we fuel even larger fires to start. the lack of fires results in overcrowded brush, such as the fire seen in this video. the winds are calm but because of the high amounts of fuel, the fire burst out of control.

[@initialdluvr]

how did california survive before firefighters were here? Anyways, thank God I live in Cerritos, CA. I can see smoke in the distance and the sun is orange sometimes, but not too bad like last year. Best wishes to those who are affected strongly by the fires

[@LilHailey221]

no, it's considered hazardous with the ashes, smoke and all. =P ADVICE TO PEOPLE WHO LIVE CLOSE TO THAT AREA: >Get your hose and spray water all over your plants. (not too much, though. you don't wanna kill them!) >Exercise INDOORS. Avoid any heavy activity outdoors; you don't wanna breathe in too much ash and smoke D: >if any of you can think of any other suggestions, please reply to this comment! :D

[@Kape56]

theres that smoke coming over where i live and i live in las vegas

[@madjimms]

You are correct, did you know that Pine Cones will not open up to become a seed without +195F temps to open them up... Fires are the lifeblood of forests...

[@Peter4101]

Sucks to be the compony that owns that station. But got to love to watch things go boom. :D

[@Giotube93]

Hasn't reached Burbank yet =o

[@lugiapwnful]

It's named that because the fire started near a ranger station or something

[@Molly2009plus5]

I have been watching this on the News and this is very sad for all those that live there :( Seems like there are lots of fires that take place there.

[@HeroOTime]

im all the way by san isidro, i dont see any ashes or smell smoke. but the heat is intense

[@ozmo1]

last night i was over at Pierce College and didnt relize how bad this fire is.even tho I live in sfv i could see the red flames from the mountain .. hope this wasnt some fire started by someone..

[@Havenar12]

Apparently you can see the smoke all the way in Colorado(What everyone is saying including my teacher).

[@hlajudhr]

GOSH, I CAN SEE THE HUGE PLUMES OF SMOKE FROM MY ROOF. yesterday the clouds towered miles and miles up into the sky. and at night u can see the flames eating up an entire hillside from here. its terrible.

[@lawrenceiscool]

you seriously think grass rubbing together made a spark?

[@Gengen0711]

The smoke is so thick and so widespread that when I look up at the sky I swear it looks like gloomy day in June. seriously .

[@acheysh]

Its called a Pyrocumulus cloud ... DUH.. it could either drop rain and put out the fire that created it in the first place, or it can create thunderstorms and create more potential fires

[@redbaroniii]

hiodr said "my point is, they should be deployed en masse as soon as possible." True they had to stack the aircraft in a holding pattern cuz they couldn't process their use fast enough.

[@snavarro228]

great video...

[@pinionpinefire]

We are on this fire right now. Structural Urban Interface.

[@ragemanchoo82]

Makes me think of Mt. Saint Helens

[@MrEzproductions]

the four seasons of california -earthquake -fire -dam i cant think of the other two :/

[@turnnburn0383]

not fake, this fire is burning behind my house currently, the smoke in INSANE.

[@Mykilltf2]

to all the fire fighters out there trying to get this thing under control. good luck. it seems like you'll need it. :(

[@hokiro888]

its a time lapse bro, he sped up the time

[@surfer390111]

I live in Venice and my truck is covered.

[@Henners5]

very cool

[@NoShaq09]

Its looks like a Valcono went off from my house.

[@JEMCO2008]

well done

[@theedeathknight201]

that looks interesting

[@TwoPointProductions]

ha that looks like the view from my backyard!

[@Drummer12457]

clearly you dont live in california. its not as easy as using " heavy aircraft". we have over 6,500 firefighters, helicopters and planes helping to put out the fire. you cant just put it out in no time.

[@lancekennady]

I live in tampa,florida.

[@Jdub1515]

like a developing thunderstorm

[@EternalChaos000]

Yea.. imagine being here. Ashes falling 24/7. Horrible temperature, air. Sigh..

[@tommygunkid13]

My car is covered in ashes.

[@mentolord]

I live in los angeles

[@_luftwaffel_]

YUCK. I live near the fire and air quality is terrible, my car is covered in ash. I just pray for the fire fighters out there.

[@Nihilitty]

looks like a valcano

[@KingMescudi]

none of this is fake i guarantee it i live next to the fire

[@sheepball]

nicely filmed looks cool but still isnt something to be happy about the sun was orange today kinda freaky

[@Chondoman]

I hate fire season, pollutes LA more than it already is.

[@utubersf]

a surface volcano...

[@macdogq]

Some nature.

[@Farout397]

0:15 wow!

[@parskahye911]

[@yazuak]

You can complain all day, nothing is going to change.

[@QuasarLight]

Isn't it pretty? Just think if the whole state goes up we will be out of debt...

[@hong13]

Goodbye O-zone =(

[@LebaneseGamer]

cooll

[@adi1096]

First fire then hurricane and callifornia is overdue for an earthquake that would cover the budget problem.. :)

[@pman562]

looks like a bomb blew up

[@ng1150]

thats so cool lol

[@shadyhomie]

good trolling. 6/10

[@daccord1]

i can see this from my house D= ((the smoke))

[@jushayward]

"given the wealth and resources of this state, ". No disrespect hiodr; however, I often hear that California is bankrupt and cashless. Of course, how can this be? Hollywood, cutting edge science projects etc. As an outsider, I often imagine Californians as living in ET, the film, style homes or living by the sea.

[@alienjoe123]

CaNcEr

[@grazisthebestcity]

horrible, but nice to watch in timelaps !

[@helpmakethingsbetter]

Instead of the billions of dollars used to help Iraq (who could use that money against us in the future like others have in the past) we could have used those billions & the military to fix this immediately.

[@DanielsAHazard]

lol Woot!

[@migythered2]

lol
