A house was caught in the middle of a raging firestorm as part of the wider bushfires that continues to burn across Australia.
The widespread wild fires hit the town of Parma, New South Wales, and Jack Luscombe on New Year’s Eve.
Jack’s footage begins with a hazy forest in shot as the ash and smoke fill the air before the unrelenting fire reached his property, turning the sky to black.
However the fire breaks through the trees and lights up the house and yard as the flames sweep across the land.

Hands down, this is one of the most compelling videos I've ever seen. So rare to see the detail of what happens with wind before, during and after the main fire front.
"The colour of the flames is apart of temperature affected also by the type of fuel used (i.e. the material being burned) as some chemicals present in the material can taint flames by various colors. Blue-violet (purple) flames are one of the hottest visible parts of fire at more than 1400°C (2552°F)."
Those flames also put out a lot of deep red light that isn't being caught well by the camera.
The blue color comes partly from the smoke, but in Aussie wind-driven firestorms, the radiant heat of the fire front will vaporize an entire canopy of Gum leaves ahead of it, and it afterburns in the air in front of/above the flame front, and the Eucalyptol usually goes off in bright blue or purple. That's closer to 3000F. On Black Saturday, DSE crews around Kinglake West reported blue flames from the ground to 80 meters above the crowns. Bonkers stuff.
Very well prepared home owner, who started preparing long before flames or smoke appeared. Trees cleared way back from house, along with gear to protect the home being purchased.
Looks like this guy is prepared. Has a respirator to be able to breathe, a water hose to keep the porch from catching fire, and all the grass and shrubs are well away from the house. I would say he also has a generator to run his well pump, because in a rural area, you can count on the electric failing when the wood poles burn and fall down. Replace the pump and control box often. You can't have them fail while fighting this kind of fire.
We almost got overtaken by a firestorm years ago on a backpacking trip in New Mexico’s Lincoln wilderness. We just barely got out and had to abandon all our gear. Seeing what it looks like once the fire hits is utterly terrifying
I can't even begin to imagine what it's like to live through his sort of thing, or even to live in a place where the threat of fire is a regular occurrence.
Where do you live?
haha come live in southern california and experiance it yourself😅😁
holy fuck this dude is a badass....i hope he saved his home.
He did.
Jesus lady I wasn't expecting to see you pop out again once it started huge courage props to you damn. Or man idk shits on fire whoever you are
I wonder if image recognition software can be trained to recognize blowing sparks like this. If so, cameras could trigger sprinklers automatically - allowing inhabitants to evacuate in advance. I’d worried that the sparks wouldn’t be visible in daylight. But it looks like dense smoke takes care of this problem in some cases at least. Has anyone heard of efforts along these lines?
it's better to be done with temperature and infrared sensors.
The ember attack from Eucalypt species, especially candlebark, stringybark, or messmate varieties, is absolutely staggering. It's like horizontal hail by the billions. I think even in smoke they're pretty evident.
that is terrifying
Tht man...is so brave omg....👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 can't imagine how scared I am if I was there....😢😢😢😱😱😱
The Council in Nowra does not want this in any tourism brochures, I'd bet....
Imagine being able to witness hell live
When you see how dark it is for most of that video, remember it's during daytime!
Great vision that could be used in training fire fighters
That tree lit up before the main fire even swept through. W T F
The trees explode. The sap inside them boils too quickly.
You hear it before you even see it
Eucalypts burn at almost 3000F when it's hot and windy, and they send out ember attacks that start spot fires up to 35k ahead of the main fire, which was widely observed on Black Saturday. It sounds unbelievable, but it's very well documented. People who saw this said it was like fire coming from every point in the compass, especially after the wind change.
Holy shit that is insane.
That guy is insane for staying there..
Man i WISH i can cast that spell!
Jingers, that is fark'n freaky, that ominous darkness that moves in, and still I know nothing of it like those who were there
If someone watched this video then decided to do the same in a bush fire and lost their lives, that will be a tragedy. No house is as valuable as human life .
@That One Rabbit Guy right? I don't understand why we freak out about death, it's the final stop for us all, that's it nothing we can do about that. The younger you accept your morality the happier you will be
@@joeybunten5544 There are less painful ways to commit suicide than wildfire though
some people spend their whole lives working for and building a home to live in. especially when certain people get older they don't see the point of going on if they don't have their home. like old boy with his nice house by mt st helens. evacuate, where? why? nothing to come back to.
These days in Australia it's suggested that people leave their properties due to the amount of lives lost during bushfires over the years. Property can be replaced, but lives can't. Imagine how devastated your family would feel if you died protecting your house. I've seen many interviews where young women who were pregnant or had a couple of young kids to take care of and their partner perished saving the home. I'd rather have my family together and rebuild than do it alone with a couple of youngsters to care for, and then trying to explain what happened to dad.
Americans
" we have the most destructive hurricanes."
Australians:
"Hold my beer"
RAF chuckles and displays a wry grin, glancing at the Americans knowingly
I'm praying for Australia
Right, 'cause praying has always worked.
@@iamReddington this is the only thing I can do, because our country can't help Australia. I hate politics
Raymond Reddington chill dude
Better to do nothing at all. praying is what brainwashed people do because they legitimately think an imaginary being will do anything/
@@iamReddington come on, dude. If I tolerance to LGBT, so please be tolerance to my religion. If I believe in God you don't need to change me. I will believe whatever you'll say me. Because it's my choice. I will live with this. If you don't like my viewing of the world, go to people who agree with you, and don't waste your time for trying to change somebody. I wrote this comment just because I want to show that I want only peace and love to Australia.
I tell my students, you don't have to leave your house in a Brush Fire. This guy is Living proof.
Worst storm in history now
How and why is the guy still there ? I know he´s wearing a gasmask, but oxygen levels are too low, not?
He could have an oxygen supply. He looks well prepared for this
Welcome to Au- HELL!
enjoy your stay!
It looks fine until the fire comes
Wuuuuuuuuuuuusch WTF
Why is it purple
Same reason the hottest flame of a Bunsen burner is blue or purple - that's even hotter than the red and yellow flame. I watched another video recently about Black Saturday in the area near Melbourne and the narrator said that at some stages that was burning at about a thousand degrees Celsius, which is hotter than a kiln. (Or might have been crucible, I can't remember which - something pretty dang hot, anyway.)
@@Teverell thank you for the info! I also heard a theory about eucoliptis leaves burning a different color also but i like this idea.
@@darkwraithknyack126 also cameras with poor filtering can include some infra-red in a video, often appearing as blue or blue purple
Eucalyptus leaves burn like that. Their sap is explosively flammable.
@@megalonoobiacinc4863 this is probably the most accurate reason
Please, please stop, Fire~
Innocent lives are at risk. OMG.
Just subbed
I hope that suit was made of asbestos.....
