The stages and accommodations they built were amazing! The power to the stage was 100% professionally done ✔ It was a total blast! It's partly Hollywood, and partly Tank Abbotts fault. Lol, but Heavy D looks like he might just as soon laugh at you as help you out if you were effed. No disrespect meant to riders. And really glad AF that Dave's got a heart of gold. Cheers

I saw his situation early on and could tell the project at its current pace may never be completed in his lifetime. I can't imagine how that made him feel. Every year slipping away, him getting older and the pace of the project slowing. The weight of that must be immeasurable.

Some was not replaceable like by beekeeping logs for the last 20 years. 40 plus years of herbal research on paper waiting to be put on the net. Yet out of the disaster the amount of people that came out of the woodwork to help was mind bugling. People I didn't even know that came to help clean up. The support was amazing.

This is heartbreaking. If any sort of donation is started, you know the tons and tons of support all of us will give!

[@brianfalls5038]

Man oh man! That isn't even my place and it just makes me want to cry! I feel for that shop owner there. The poor guy. He must be cursed or something. Heavy D, I can sure appreciate your heart and your compassion to help others. You guys do a lot of good work!

[@Jarmezrocks]

Heavy D, Where do we find friends like you? People who care? I've dumped ALL of my friends because none of them care? I care. But they don't? All the bro credit I thought I had was actually nothing? I would move heaven and Earth for a mate like you! Keep on keeping on brother you are an inspiration to all. We need more people like you

[@Jarmezrocks]

@@hak1985org I've given up literally hundreds of hours for free to some of my now ex-friends. I helped a guy I used to call my best friend; shift workshops (entire customs shop panel paint hot rods etc) 5 times! Huge huge undertaking....just me and him everyone else would bail? I did entire month straight never once asking for a cent ever. I had an RX7 that I was building and I wanted him to paint because he is literally a perfectionist👌 But after some time it turned from 'yeah bro no sweat I'll paint your car' to...... 'bro you will need to pay for materials for this paint job you want me to do?' (insert stocked face 😲 I'm thinking "want me to do" 🤔 I would have thought it would have been "that I want to do for you" ? 1st sign something n ain't right?) too 'bro who do you think you are? You can't just come in here asking for a free paint job I'm flat out with other paying customers cars? The best I can do right now is $9K and that's if you rub it back. Sorry bro' And that was the last time he heard from me 😉 And now I'm selling my project car cause I've had enough. I'm done with "performance" cars. It cuts me off entirely from the shitbag car enthusiast community that I don't need to deal with any longer. What's a wide body FC3S RX7 go for these days? New Series 8 FD RX7 motor never turned a single RPM, triple plate clutch. All the front guards are hand crafted steel no warpy wavey shitty fibreglass, rear fuel flap is pumped to be flush with the wide body in the rear looks factory but ½ wider 😛 Reckon that could get me a nice camping rig and a Stark Varg electric motocross bike and I'm fckin outta here for the hills! Just me and my dog forever pals 🐾🙌

@@hak1985org I live in Australia. I have contemplated selling everything? House I own outright and doing away with everything and heading over to Utah? I would go and stay and help Allen every day for no money other than to have food on the plate for me and my dog? He's an American Staffy X American Bully (blue faced and blue fawn coloured plus he even has a white angel on his chest 💕) Take him back to the mother land for him 😉 Wouldn't that be the dream! You still gotta dream even when life is against you

[@bryanrb21]

You guys really helped him physically and mentally. He looked defeated at the beginning and smiling at the end! 💯👍👍

[@careybrown3776]

And he had been up practically all night.

[@Andy-gti]

LoL you realize that they set it on fire for KZbin views, right??? there was nothing valuable in that shed...

[@bulliesboy]

My heart goes out to you Alan, no one deserves this sort of loss, especially a good guy like you. Keep positive and strong.

[@figsoutside1981]

So Sad, Alan is a tough dude all around and he will persevere. Especially with this crew/family. Not going to lie, 19:27 - 19:41 was a bit of a tearjerker because that is what it is all about. Y'all are awesome and selfless, keep up the great work.

Good job helping to clean up. When I saw the earlier video of Alan's fortress, I was thinking he needs some help to tidy up around the place so he has room to work, I didn't think of a fire in the shop though. You guys have done a nice thing for him.

[@MrDexcars]

Oh what a disaster poor Alan he’s such a nice bloke hope everything works out well for him thoughts and best wishes from Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 keep strong Alan

[@oscarkoop2548]

My moronic idiot of a girlfriend thinks hes a cultist that's using people.😂😂😂

[@dcsrLazer]

aww man, that's terrible for Alan. Makes it hard to "like" the video, It feels like i am "liking" the video because he had the fire. 😥 I am 100% liking the video because you blokes are awesome. Awesome for helping a mate when he's down. The only way is up Alan 👍🏻

Dang, man, this sucks! Alan is awesome, glad to see y’all taking care of him throughout this tough time of loss. T-shirt idea: “Mountain Fortress Labs - Fire Brigadier - 2022” With a cool graphic depicting the scene on the back, and like a customized fire dept. logo on the front left chest. Good lookin out, Dave!

[@bossboybossboy1733]

Love to you all. Makes my heart feel good to see ALL you guys helping Alan with this. I can't explain how good it feels to know there really are still good people around. Including Alan. Damn keep being who you guys are. Real

[@donaldk.macbaird5248]

This is heartbreaking it brought this 70 year old Marine to tears

[@MarkZart]

Thank you for your selfless service Sir 🫡

[@greenfishpinkowl]

Great surname

[@stntmn99]

As a survivor of a wild fire myself, I can understand how Alan feels about losing everything. Hope he can once again come back from the ashes and start over again. Good Luck Alan. Glad you are part of the DB team and they have your back.

[@Leona000]

This is so sad. I wish I was there to give him a big hug. He's such a down to earth, funny, what you see is what you get, kinda guy. I'm glad he's got good friends around him to support him.

[@Cameraworksltd]

So sorry for your loss. Stay strong man.

[@John-bd3ts]

Well, I guess they gotta move. The arsenic from the great salt lake might go airborne and destroy the air quality.

[@cheyenneperry531]

Oh man that’s hard to hear. Hopefully things start looking up for Alan the wizard

[@sethamidon3499]

Sorry to hear about Alan's loss. The world needs more great people like you guys. Thanks for the good thing you guys do for others and for the environment. God bless

[@giovannip.1433]

Amazing how much can be done - and how fast things can be done by a bunch of men and women working together to help each other.

[@stevepaul1190]

I feel so bad for Allan. He’s such a good dude and valuable member of the Sparks team. Glad he has the Diesel team to help him during such a difficult time. STAY STRONG ALLAN!! 💪🏻

I feel his pain, I'm in the same boat, I got hurt working and my boss just died of a heart attack, he was a great guy, my job is gone running heavy equipment, I loved my job but I'm about to be homeless I don't know what to do....

[@Randomperson0467]

[@knikriverwitch7257]

I’m a 23 year old woman doing my nails right now…..crying watching this….and going to have to explain to my husband that I’m crying at HeavyDSparks at 10am. All of my heart and empathy goes towards Alan and his grit.

[@mazerrackham5959]

[@sheliavestal9292]

Hey guys having a fire is awful. My son & his girlfriend had a fire & lost everything but what they were driving. The house was in our family since the 70's & belonged to his grandmother. I'm so sorry that this happened to you. My heart goes out to you. Prayers sent. 🙏🙏🙏

[@barblm21]

Can we all talked the time to appreciate this BEAUTIFUL land! Wow! I pray that he can fulfill his dream ❤

[@scottminer7702]

I swear if I didn't live four minutes from fire protection with Station 4 a few blocks away, I would sprinkler everything. In 30 years as a professional firefighter, I rarely saw sprinklered buildings become total losses. My condolences to Allan. I have seen the cost to people's lives from fire more times than I would like. Having friends like you makes it a bit easier. Cheers.

[@SquiddysAquaticts]

I've got enough aquariums in my apartment for fire protection 🤣✌️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@ltsgarage7898]

Scott. A building with a full on sprinkler system does no good if you don’t have water or a pressure system to operate it. There is no well or electricity to run a pump.

[@mtsky-tc6uw]

having a large insurance payout helps a lot

[@kenny7713]

You can see the absolute devastation on Allan’s face, I hope you guys really can sort him right.

[@ryanvargas4889]

This really breaks my heart. Alan is such a solid guy.
