      I am so sorry to hear about their loss. Do they have any idea how many homes in Cohasset burned? I lived there back in the '70s and built a house on Pine Cone Way. We always were ready even back then because of the one way in and one way out road. The news is only talking about Forest Ranch because they can't get into Cohasset except at the bottom of the hill. I would just like to know how all of Cohasset faired in this devastating fire. Again, I am so sorry for your step-sister and her son. Thank God they are safe.

    That was a shocking news conference. 😢
    My parents had to fight a fire on the edge of a state highway as it was threatening their neighbor's home. Fortunately, Dad had a dozer and the skills needed to create the fire break in time. It was cause by an old guy that was working under the hood of his old truck. A fuel soaked rag caught fire. The guy tossed it out onto roadside grass and stepped on it. But he didn't pick it up. He left it there when he drove away. It continued to smolder, then all of the grass caught fire. It was fortunate that many caring neighbors reacted so quickly. It takes a while for the volunteer fire department in that area to get on scene. They used Dad's fire break, a lot of shoveling, a truck full of water, and then on scene monitoring for the rest of the day.
    It's so sad that the Park Fire was allegedly intentionally started. 😢 Over 164,000 acres and growing. Hopefully, people take the evacuation notices seriously. People that live downstream of those valleys are also going to need to worry about flooding and mudslides this winter.😳

      @@BackyardBeeKeepingNuevo the amount of land they have to cover and the amount of land that's privately owned that most people don't know is privately owned makes it impossible to clear that stuff. you pretty much have to take an educated guess on where you think the highest fire risks are going to be each year and hope you aren't wrong. but the end of the day it's everyones responsibility to clear brush but the reality is you have 2 primary groups that live up there, rich lazy people and aging/retired people that can't do it themselves or afford to have some one do it for them. i grew up in the california mountains, made a killing clearing peoples properties when i was a teenager and i also watched many houses burn to the ground because people would rather take the risk then pay 75-100 bucks at that time for some one to come in and clear the brush/trees around their house.

I’m in my late 50’s and hire my friend’s son for a few bucks in his pocket to help me. It’s a sad state of affairs. The one line that you used was “rich and lazy” applies to So Cal especially well. When their property gets moonscaped I don’t feel bad because they get the notices to clear and ignore them or pay the fine. What pisses me off is their indifference and the rabid environmentalists who we’ve allowed to have so much influence over our government have made your poor father to have to be his own fire brigade and forestry service when we pay the highest taxes in the country. It’s total BS and we’ve got to get balance back in our State Legislature and State House or at a minimum vote in people with common sense who can work with others to get things done. Props to your pops for having been prepared. Good on him and I wish the best for you and your family. It’s families like ours who once made this state great.

Across Rte 2, they were in evac preparedness stage. Had the truck loaded, fueled, and ready to leave the RV. Scary stuff because the biggest threats were between us and Columbia Falls which would have been our egress route of choice. But would have gone east if necessary.

It's amazing the people that complain about the smoke that hangs in the air for a couple weeks, usually when it's cool, not windy, times of the year. They have no clue why controlled clearing and burning is so important.

    Greetings Juan,
    I was a limited term (seasonal ) fire fighter at Forest Ranch 1971 and 1972 then transferred to Butte County Fire Dept ( CDF Schedule A) 1973-1977 until I went to USAF UPT(Vance 78-04). The take away is how much Butte County has changed. Forest ranch was a wide spot in the road. Air tankers are DC-10's and -80's. When I was there (a LONG time ago) the tankers were B-17's, P2V Neptune's and TBM/TBF Advenger's.
    nothing like being dropped on by a B-17 at 100 feet. Great memories.

      When you and I got into Wildland Fire the two-way radios ran vacuum tubes and the aircraft were all piston slappers.
      Now the radios are all digital and programmable and the aircraft are all turbine or jet powered.
      I won't try to list all the other technological improvements.
      The one thing that hasn't changed is, at the end of the day, wildfires are contained, controlled and mopped up by joes and janes with cutting and digging hand tools. Fortunately, there has been some steady improvement in the design of chainsaws and hand tools since our day.
      Thank you for your fire service and USAF service!

Crown fires along the tops of the trees get especially dangerous in that area. Everything between the valley floors and the Pacific Crest Trail is dangerous topography and terrain for both land based firefighters, and their counterparts fighting the fires from the air in helicopters and planes of all sizes. The Australian 737 will be capable of delivering large payloads of water and retardant. But it will be difficult to fly with precision in that terrain, even with a scout spotter plane to lead the way.

I’m still soldiering through my ratings (CFI is currently killing me) but your videos really help keep me grounded and remind me to treat the craft of aviation with respect and that healthy dose of fear that keeps us from taking unnecessary risks. I’m at 500 hours, so the temptation to have fun and treat it like a car is definitely there, but your content consistently reminds me of the professionalism I need to treat every single flight for myself and future students. As a local from Vacaville, your coverage of NorCal is especially helpful. Thank you for all the work that you do 🙏🏻

If the trees are within 20 yards of something, expect a fire to make that something burn, and expect that fire to happen - someday.
