Even though this is like literally just dry grass and shrubs, it’s incredible how fast it moves. Defensive space y’all

Where are the pictures of the Forest Service units that helped fight that fire?

So they purposefully burn some areas? What is the purpose fo that process? So it wont have a chance to burn some other time?

[@rickallman1318]

It's called setting back-fires. Purpose is to burn back towards main fire as a small fire. Really effective in stopping fwd spread if winds are favoring for the needed direction!

You recorded good footage good thing no one didn't get hurt but it's very sad that is so many fires lately that you can't count them all if the trays keep catching fire the population is going to start falling out
