Thanks for the video, appreciate the help you provide, I used to be a vol fireman in the mid 1970,s. It is difficult to explain in "laymen terms" what it's like to fight fires. Your videos provide valuable insight to help others not in the fire svc to understand the dedication required to do the job of a fireman. THANKS AGAIN !! STAY SAFE !!

You guys are doing a heck of a great job. God bless you all

My hat is off to all the firefighters.

That was a great video showing how fast fires can spread and how important it is to really get them mopped up. It also showed how important your roads were. Anything to speed up access to the fire and a place to lay all the hoses really helps.

Thank you. They are a neat machine.

That turf gets as dry as it is can smolder for ages, like the peat fires in Florida. And coal fires. Just smolder along and pop up anywhere at any time. You did good and I got a big chuckle about the gas can deal. You're getting to make up a little from freezing yourself now. Remain calm and have the best day you can have. A few years back a big fire was close to where we were working. Go home smelling like a BBQ every evening. GBWYall!

The fire burns through the roots and can pop out of the ground a long way from the fire.

Last video i told you lake county was in extreme fire warning. Welp, we currently on fire too now. We got that Greenwood lake fire and i think as of today it was 3,000 acres.

Not sure I understand the reason for the fire, is it to clear brush while you are putting in the new forest roads ready for logging this winter? 🤔. Seriously though good work all you good people, look after each other out there. Thanks for helping, have a great day.
