I'm an initial attack firefighter in Canada, and this video is great. The description of basic wildfire behavior and suppression tactics are pretty dang good. One thing about wildfire is that the tactics vary based on what your forests are made up of, as well as the resources your agency has available, so what calfire does is very different from how we might do things in the boreal forest, or what you might see in australia, etc.

@Madalyn Maree Australian bush firefighters are far better at Operations (they will usually deal with it faster and at less cost).. U.S. wildland firefighters are far better at Logistics (they will administer and support it better). Both could do Intel and planning better. Both often focus too much on politics and media image, and not enough on frontline substance. Australian fire stick farming was actually more to facilitate Aboriginal access and hunting. Rather than burning off large areas, it tends to create a patchwork of strategically burnt areas that limit major fire development, among other things. We still have much to learn about how they use bush indicators to judge when conditions were appropriate for burning. The Northern Territory of Australia probably uses such techniques to best effect, but its more limited in areas where people still have a traditional sentimental European view of "all fire bad!" and don't see fire as a natural and often essential part of the environment.

Hello Wendover. After watching this I showed my father who is a fire fighter for Kern County in California, This is his response. In your video you stated that the fire would immediately be transferred to Calfire's management when it is dispatched. This statement is however wrong. First it would be dispatched from the California Office of Emergency Services to the local OES station or station that has an OES engine. The fire would be then assessed by the team then more fire teams will be dispatched as CalFire or as a federal assignment. Federal would be managed at the federal level. Calfire would be state managed. Thank you for the amazing content and I hope you also learn something as have I.

This simple design alone is vastly superior than using standard off-road firetrucks that can't do shit against firewalls.

G'day, Yay Team ! Thanks for posting this. I wasn't aware that the US still uses Parachute-Insertion to put Firefighters into burning Forests...(!). I'm a Basic Firefighter with the NSW Rural Fire Service, my son is Captain of a 2-Tanker Brigade, as well as a foundation-member of the local RAFT (Remote Area Firefighting Team) ; here in Oz the RAFTs are Helicopter Winch-Inserted from as much as 300 ft up, to cut Hand-Lines (down to Mineral Earth) from which to light Back-Burns... It's what they call "Dry Firefighting", and they take Chainsaws, Brushcutters, Rake-Hoes, and Drip-Torches with Backpack Leaf-Blowers ; and quite a bit of Fuel for all of the above. If they need Water then that comes from "Heli-Tacks" or "Firebombers", ie anything from Jetrangers to Hueys with Buckets and Erikson-Sikorsky Sky-Cranes or Turbo-Thrushes & Dromedaries. Which brings me to a point. You claim that Phos-Check is "very expensive" at $3 per (US) Gallon..., compared to Water... That isn't actually right..., y'see, because trucking Water to the Airstrip costs $21 per ton ($130 for 6,000 Litres, I bought a load of Water only last week..., we have a Drought here at the moment), and while the Heli-tack will indeed save $21 per Ton (500 Litres to 1,200 L. per Bucket, depending on the Machine...) by bucketing from Rivers - the RFS reimburses Property-Owners for whatever Water is taken from Dams, or the Water is replaced afterwards using Tanker Trucks. I've worked at the Airbase filling Firebombers with both Water out of Buoywall Tanks holding the loads brought in on a relay of Council Trucks, as well as mixing a 10,000 Gallon (Imperial) Buoywall of Phos-Check and pumping it into the 'Planes. Phos-Check consists of Phosphate (Fertiliser) powrered & dyed Red..., it's not any more expensive to make than the "Super-Phosphate" Pellets which Graziers have air-dropped onto their Pastures, to make the Grass grow better ("Aerial Top-Dressing" as they call it...). The NSW Rural Fire Service is an all-volunteer outfit, so there's no labour-cost in unloading the Bags & mixing the Powder into the Water, or pumping it - though I imagine that Cal-Fire in the US has to pay Wages (?). However, to drop a $21 Ton of Water onto a Fire costs the RFS $350 from fixed-wing Firebombers, & $550 from a Heli-tack...; because Water is heavy and Flying Machines are much more expensive to operate than the local Council's Water-Truck. My guess is that the "$3 per (US) Gallon of Phos-Check" is the cost of putting it onto the Ground, including the Jumbo-Jet Firebomber and the people mixing & handling the Water & Retardant on the ground at the Airbase. The Aircraft are chartered by the Hour, and there may be a Contract Clause varying the rate when using Retardant vs Water, because Phos-Check is heavier than pure Water - and carrying it will burn more Fuel...(?) ! One of the ways in which I've trained myself to feel good about tiny amounts of Rain, during this Drought, is to work out what it would cost to "replace the Rain with Technology" on the 100 Acres upon which I pay the Rates....; a Quarter of a Millimetre is 1/100th of an Inch, which we used to call a "Point", and 1 Point of Rain onto 1 Acre of Land (ie 66 ft by 660 ft..., which is to say a Spear-throw by a Bow-Shot !) is 224 Imperial Gallons of Water - at 10 Pounds to the Imp. Gal. that's 2,240 Pounds, which is exactly one Ton. So 1 Point of Rain onto the Land that I'm responsible for equates to being $2,100 worth of Water, delivered at a saving of somewhere between $35,000 & $55,000, for the Airdrop, depending on whether the Fantasy involved3 Fixed or Rotary-Wing delivery-systems ; and it's three & a half to five & a half million dollars to put a $210, 000 Inch of Water onto the Land... I dunno what Fertiliser costs, because I run an Endangered Species Sanctuary & I don't use the stuff (Kangaroos & Wallabies deposit their dung here, for free !) ; but Graziers use it by the Truckload, so it can't be particularly expensive. Such is Life, Have a good one...

Living in Greece where forest fires are a pretty common thing each summer (although they do not compare to the massive fires in America), I immediately knew from the start that the fire you were describing was imaginary. This year 98 people died from a forest fire on the northern part of Athens. The truth fellas is that if the wind is strong and the fire has something to fuel it, any attempts to slow down are in vain. If nature herself does not decide to assist you (rain, the wind stopping, natural water like lakes to contain the fire on one side) you quickly realize you are just a small spec fighting against a giant.

New firefighting machines are needed, fleets of magnet-to-magnet powered hovercraft tankers don't need refueling, large fire net drones to captures crown flares like spinnakers & 24x7 all-weather comm. Tankers 1000gal each with nozzles & can mist large areas, made to fly among trees near the ground, power head works for mt. SAR & logging, 4500-5500hp class. So, with 50+ tankers & nets the basis to extinguish hillside fires in any wind by disrupting the volatile firefront with tankers both sides using drones. Ymmv, no funding.

As a career wildland firefighter I am SO grateful that you focused on the importance of fire as a natural part of our landscape. We're still struggling to help people understand that. Our own agencies struggle to adequately implement fire to benefit the landscape. Pretty decent video. For anyone wondering, Smokejumpers are a Federal resource - USFS or BLM (land management agencies). They are not CalFire. Other wildland fire resources include heli-rappellers, hotshots, helitack, engine crews and handcrews, dozer and other heavy equipment operators, and other resources. All are considered firefighters even if their technical job title doesn't say it.

I’m watching this on 9/10/2020 as 37 wildfires in Oregon have burned over 924,000 acres so far. Please keep us in your prayers as we deal with the fires and the massive amount of smoke in the air. I haven’t seen the sun in days and visibility is at best 1/4 mile. The amount of light from the sun reaching ground level is roughly 20% of normal. I have to use the headlights on my car to see where I’m going. It’s like driving in thicke fog during the day and impossible at night.

My father is a level 5 IC (Incident Commander) so it was kind interesting seeing a topic so close to home. I think you glossed over prescribed burns and preventative logging a little but most the information was great. The fire example was very well written. My only other critic would be about the logistics of fire crews and 'conscription' during severe fire seasons, although, this is probably a complex topic in its own right and would probably deserve its own video.

As a firefighter this is reasonably accurate, however, an anchor point is more often where you begin to start fighting the fire, it’s likely where you come in. Also most fires are contained quickly. Cal fire has a goal of 95% of fires contained under 10 acres. Some agencies go up to 98%.

A lot of really good and accurate info in this video. Especially around the fact forests are resistant to fires and it's a natural cleansing of forests underbrush amd we are messing with that by trying to put wildfires out. While it was a self admitted "too simple" fire scenario, something that wasn't mentioned which heavily impacts fires and was a huge factor in the East Gippsland Complex fire (Victoria Australia, 2019/20) is the fact that embers can be carried by wind for hundreds of meters, which means that the fire fighting efforts to make containment lines all gets jumped, and within minutes the fire fighters are now surrounded by fire on all sides as the embers quickly become their own fire. Also the fact that large firea can create their own weather systems within them which mainly increase the effects to generate fire.

Weirdly, it's a "glorious" / "heroic" job most people have never heard of; it's also "adventurous" which means long boring treks and lots of danger far from anyone who cares or could help. It's also back breaking, ankle breaking, soul breaking and sanity breaking as after all that damn work it may still turn out to be totally useless effort. Best firefighting technique is prevention.

I was really apprehensive to watch this video. You make high quality videos, but wildfire is my day job. You did pretty well. You somewhat overstated the effectiveness of aviation assets, but not by as much as most people do. Aviation slows the fire, boots on the ground stop it. In 18 years, I've seen few retardant lines that held without being backed up by either handline or dozer line.
