I watched the KCRA live helicopter of the battle along Highway 32 and it was amazing to see the efforts of the firefighters to keep the wall of flames from reaching the other side of the road. These guys are out here doing amazing work.
@@TacitMoose It's a video posted to KCRA's TH-cam channel under the Live videos tab called "LiveCopter 3 is over the Park Fire in Butte County, California's largest wildfire of the year so" I'm not sure if I can post the link here. It's incredible footage. At 50:30 you can see a spot where the fire has jumped highway 32. At 53:30 you can see the crews start to work it. at 57:30 it shows two S2s that they called in to douse it. Just as an observer, it seems like CalFire has really increased the effectiveness of their response and the coordination of their forces. The management of this fire was incredible. To you and your friends: you guys are amazing and the entire state is cheering for you every time you go out there for us.
Be safe! All fire fighters & persons on this fire! A huge thank youuuuuuuuu for what you do!! Which thank you doesn't begin to cover what you are doing!! xoxoxox
Why at the 7:34 point in the video are they not working that spot as an anchor point on the highway and then working into the fire south to keep it bound to the road as a firebreak?
My family work in wildcard fire, have for over 20 years. It eas an honest question based on some experience. If I jumped the highway, which the PIO said was a key defensive line, why no active direct attack when it burned up to the road? Explain the please? And try not to be so pius about what you know. It's an honest question and if ypu can't answer it you clearly don't know.
@@stevesdumpsterrave3080 Dude, calm down. Carter is asking a question. NOTHING "pious" in that. He simply said he doesn't know about fire behavior, ("Some of us are naive" - speaking of himself) and asked you to PLEASE explain "anchor point," and how you mean to stop the fire at the road.
@mikejones8866 my reply was to another person, Pluto... something. Not for Carter. Sorry for any misunderstanding. So, and anchor point is where you set a defensive area where you have good control of the fireside and have burned around it to create an area of black to work from. Basically a point you can work from to stop the fire at a defensive line such as a road or dozer line. Firefighters have kept the fire at Hwy 32 as an Eastern defensive line, and seem to be holding it pretty well.
the Bible said all of these things would happen in the last days and not to fear. all these things must come to pass before the end. keep the faith believers.
Redding has the most state of the art retardant refueling facility in the country. Why can’t they stop this? They shouldn’t be filming there, they should be out of the way for retardant drop right at the highway. I heard it just jumped hwy 36 too. wtf are they doing?
Unfortunately no retardant in the world will stop this wildfire from growing the way this is going. Other fires in the west have pulled aircraft off the Park fire as well.
@@norcalstormchasing bullshit if this burns Shingletown they have failed. And or believe the conspiracies about letting shit burn for money. Ive lived in nor cal my entire life and never have I ever seen fires like I have in the last 5-10 years, 500,000- million acre fires? Are you fkn kidding me? Either they are completely incompetent or there’s an underlying motive, it’s one of the two. Oh fuels and dry blah blah save it, been that way for 40 years of my life, but why in the last ten years has the entire western Rockies burned to a fkn crisp in massive fires every year. Never used to be like this. WTF is going on
Retardant doesn’t stop fires, especially ones of this size. It just slows them down a little. Plus with how big this fire is there isn’t enough aircraft to make a long enough line of retardant to stop it.
Why is it that all I constantly see is video of "firefighters" standing around watching these fires burn. What are you all doing? Because it looks to me like literally, nothing.

Is that on youtube? Id love to see that. I am not assigned to this incident but I have friends where are firefighters who were along 32 the other day.

Thank you firefighters and all involved in trying to get a handle on all of this.❤
Awesome footage

Some of the most extreme fire behavior I've personally seen on this one. Quite insane
Found you from Tyler Kurtz recommending you. Thank you for your video
Bless you all for risking your lives for us!❤
The quality of this is fantastic for a helmet cam, thanks for sharing!
Praying for the residents, livestock, firefighters and news crews. Be safe. Love from San Joaquin County
KEEP US SAFE ON THE RIDGE! YOU GUYS ARE MY HEROES!!!!!
God bless City of Chico firefighters. Be safe guys.
Praying for all the firefighters and people in the path 🙏
I see many fire engines but no attempt to extinguish or slow down the flames....
Fire brigade mainly drives up and down it seems.
The man who started this fire must go to prison for the rest of his life.
Wow that fire got to you pretty fast😮 strange fire behavior.
Somewhat PREDICTABLE fire behavior
I hate living in California and dread the summers.
Were they trying to hold the fire at this highway and it jumped over?
Thank you to everyone who’s working this fire❤
i appreciate what you are doing but you need to move your camera way less.

Some of us are naive.

I am telling you this is job security they don’t even have water to put out the fire.
Thanks for your years of wildland fire fighting experience….NOT!
The judge who let the criminal out of prison who started this fire, should be held accountable for this. 😡😤

Cal fire ain't getting paid if the fire is out. I just watched cal fire start a back burn in dots no lines. Blows my mind
You don’t know what you are talking about

@@norcalstormchasing I doubt that, the park fire is the biggest priority right now, it’s less than 10 miles from me

@tzon6802 it is true, though. There was a fire in Southern California Thursday, and they called a VLAT from Sacramento to assist with.

They are there to put out small spot fires. They don’t have enough water to put out this fire. 😂😂
@@eriksand9262 I've been on fire running dozer. They do nothing. Spot fires my ass.
WHO EVER TAKING PICTURES AS ESPN SAYS COME ON MAN STANDING THERE WITH A DIGITAL CAMERA STUPIDITY
Bro what
Huh? Are you a fire expert or you don't like digital cameras?
They're there to put out any spot fires that jump the highway.
1100 firefighters fighting this fire - do we know how many were trapped due to the fire tornado?
None because fire tornadoes aren't this big trapping thing?
