MORE ALAN, MORE COMPOUND!! This whole complex is amazing. So much content about so many different fields, construction to wind turbines, too many to list. This is gold for HeavyD And Alan. Show us how you build it, your though process, the logistics, laying conduits, laying the blocks. Don't gloss just show its being built and all the highs and lows in between. This is a rare glimpse into a rare person like Alan and yes you HeavyD.

Alan is literally one hell of a guy! From being a construction genius to his loyalty and personality. This video literally made me tear up. I do not care who thinks I'm weak for it. If you watch Dave sparks from the Diesel Brothers to his personal channel and have gone the whole journey with them then you would grasp what happened.

My heart is with you. I lost everything but what I had with me. My home, wood shop. bee equipment. Even had things stolen before clean up. Including all my bees that were in the home yard. 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 actually hurt to watch, Alan's such a great humble dude

I physically felt sick watching this on Allen's channel this morning. I can't explain, but I've loved this guy since you introduced him. Dave and crew. Thank you so much for being there for your friend. I'm all in for whatever it takes to turn this negative into a positive for the Wizard.

As a firefighter, that's one of the harder things we deal with, when we're putting out the fires in someone's home, seeing their entire life just go up in flames. It sucks. But it's awesome he has you guys to help him. If I was in the area I'd definitely help any chance I could. I'm not Allen, but thank you for being that kind of family for him

Despite the sad moment. It's awesome to know you have a great group of guys willing to help out and get this cleared up. I'd say post videos and help financially with the reconstruction of his shop. Lots of valuables lost but glad nobody got injured.

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?

Alan might be a little strange sometimes, but he genuinely seems like a good guy. Wish i could help him but things are tight with me right now but i will say a prayer for him. God bless and good luck.

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

Great surname

Sorry about the garage. I like how you rallied for your friend. I hope all your guys appreciate and respect your kindness and support of them and reciprocate. Great videos. Thank you.

You are a blessing to so many people. Your attitude toward challenges is unparalleled. I'm constantly blown away. I'm so sorry for Allen, but good lord, what an amazing turn of events. When I face challenges in my life (in vastly different ways, we are an autism family) I remember your example of "can do" and "can do way better". Gives me strength to take on what seems like the impossible sometimes. So good you're in the world...we need this kind of positive vibes and example. Mad respect.

Allen doesn’t deserve this but luckily he is surrounded by amazing people to support him!

I wish Alan the best in recovering from this but I must add that if he's had several fires like this he need to take a good long look at how he's storing things and taking the steps to fire prevention.

The main issue I see is fire trucks will have an issue with the road. In my county, they won't allow a house construction on a lot unless you can show there's access for fire and rescue vehicles. It's a super crazy place to build a "Castle". There's no source of water.

So sorry to hear of Alan’s bad luck. That’s just awful. Bless him. Do glad you guys were there to help him. Your True hero’s to support him through his loss.🙏🤜🏻🤛🏻👍 👍👍👍👍👍THUMBS UP👍👍👍👍👍

I’m with Alan with the way he pronounces apricot. That’s how we say it here on the east coast. If I’ve learned one thing about Utah from watching you guys, Fab Rats, and Matt’s Off Road Recovery, it’s that’s people out in Utah pronounce certain words differently than we do here. The one that always gets me is measure. They do a lot of “may-suring” on Fab Rats and MORR.

Alan is such a great addition to the team really sorry to hear this. Hope y'all help him build it back better even though you can't replace a lot of what he lost.

Dave, This just shows that the KZread community is quite frankly - AMAZING. Thanks for stepping up.

Allen, my wife and Ilost everything but the clothes on our backs and our vehicles from a house and garage fire in the early 90's, along with all our pets. Do to pride I had no insurance at the time. With the help of our family, community and gods good graces, we have survived and thrived since. Please know that everyone in this family/community will be there as they are able, to help you rebuild and replace as needed. Good people are easier to find when your one yourself. You have my prayers and I hope to do more in the future to help. Keep moving forward and you never really lose brother!

I got to say one thing about you you are a good friend to Alan to take all your equipment and your time and go up there and do what you're doing I've heard a lot of good things about you in the last few months when I subscribe to you you were rescuing an old man and his houseboat and I thought you were really cool for that but after seeing all your videos you are definitely a man from heaven love watching you thank you for all your good work to all the people you've helped thank you

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

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.

I've been clearing my junkyard for years and years.. often wondered if it would be easier just to watch it burn.. but that clean up looked even less fun then mine .. I keep telling myself the iron age is over for me .. hard pill to swallow.. but I'm ready for a chair on a porch and a lovely lady to bring me tea..

It's a warm feeling watching people who care about what happens to one another

man this hurt my heart ive lost it all due to a fire once as a kid and it really took me back to that tragedy and how much it affected my grandparents ...i hope a miracle happens for alan hes a cool dude

Dave, your a great boss and even better person. Who else would go out of their way like that to help an employee/friend like that. The cost to run all that equipment up there alone is insane. The world needs more people like you.

its sad to see that he lost alot of personal its that ment alot ot him.but now that hes part of your family its awsome to see friends helping friends you guys are doing a good thing.

Oh no, I am so very sorry this terrible thing has happened to you. Thank you Heavy D. For the help you give to Alan & so many.

We need to help Alan, he’s a great guy and he deserves everything, his mountain top compound needs completed

We? Hes probably fn rich af. He doesn't need OUR help. We can't replace his family possessions.

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!

So sorry to hear about this. Glad you guys are there to help him get back and start over. Great job being a friend to him when he is in need.

My heart goes out to alan. We had a house fire in 1989, and lost EVERYTHING. Took us years to recover. And of course you can never get back those one of a kind items like family heirlooms. Not to mention my dads collection of hundreds or rare firearms, just gone. It was really hard to take. So as someone who has experienced the same situation I know it shakes you right to your core to see everything just gone in a pile of ash and twisted metal. Best of luck to you my friend. I hope you come out of this better and stronger then before...

My heart and prayers goes to Alan and all that are helping him though this difficult time.Stay safe and blessed 🙏❤️

As someone who lost everything in a fire when I was 16 years old, I can certainly sympathize with Mr. Allan. I literally went 3 days with nothing but the clothes on my back before donations helped get us back going. Lost all my childhood trophies and photos that I had accrued from playing sports and racing. Please send him all my best.

I'm so sorry. It's crushing, and you were YOUNG to experience that. Went through it 2 years ago, in my mid-50s. The way it all played out was super traumatic. I've been through A LOT in my life, already had PTSD. A wildfire sweeping through and wiping out parts of three towns wasn't something I ever anticipated, but it WAS my last, worst fear. I/we survived. I don't think it's possible to NOT be permanently changed by the experience. SO sorry you went through it. I wouldn't wish it on anyone, ever.

this is really hearthbreaking. that's why there's a saying here in my country that its better than a bulgar get to you house than a fire. bulgar will take only what he needed but the fire will take everything. anyway, honestly even before that fire i can see the loneliness on alan's eye. even though he always makes joke and smile, he's trying his best to be tough and not show any weakness. like you said none of his family supporting his project, that's one of the pain on his eyes but still keep going on no matter what. that's why i am really grateful you found him and become part of your family. vin diesel is proud of you.

Man.....I feel for the man... I lost everything due to a fire and became homeless. Lost my job car got burned lost everything from baby pictures to clothing TV bed you name it. Over a used window ac/heater. Slowly me my children and wife stuck together and are rebuilding ourselves. I hope and I pray those who have find it in thier hearts to help this man and community comes together to help this man complete his dream! Thank you God bless you Hd!

I love that the Diesel Gang isn't scared to drop whatever they're doing to make sure someone in the fam isn't struggling. I just listened to Hunters channel too and HeavyD helped him out in a big way as well. Keep it up! Love the positivity!

I love ol’Alan and his outlook- he’s such a chilled man. Good luck Big Al.

I watched this fire on a live and I did not know your Alan was this Alan.. when they were dumping water on it , it seemed to make it worse the fire intensified, so sorry this happened but glad he has help and support to try and recover from this loss
