The Park Fire exploded in size once again in Northern California, consuming 375 square miles of forest in less than 60 hours since it first began. Extreme fire behavior with group torching was observed 5-7 miles north of Forest Ranch, CA. Firefighters battled the blaze, with handcrews attempting to cut line around several spot fires.
Our firefighters are true hero's!! Thank you 🙏
Paradise Magalia Campfire survivor and we’re on a evacuations right now, but I’ll tell you these firefighters the courage it takes when you get into thick of it and you’re surrounded by the superheated air on all sides your breathing and your lungs you can’t imagine unless you’ve done it
My prayers are with you
That truly looks like "hell on earth"!
Praying 🙏
This is insane. Too bad that current government doesn’t allow better management of forestry lands. One would think that control burns in the winter or wet season would be preferable to mega fires in the summer or dry season.
It is easier said than done. These canyons are very difficult to navigate. The response on this fire has been quite remarkable and the lessons from the Campfire were well learned. Nature is uncontrollable, and people take chances living in the forests. Climate change is more to blame than government inaction, and that is a political issue that one party fights doing anything about.
@@LeeP-lr5ym Nature is uncontrollable you just said it yourself. Stop with the BS political narrative
My support and admiration for US Forrest Service . They never get accolades for their hard work...❤
Those were state and local gov't firefighters.
My family just evacuated to the north of this fire from Shingletown. About 2 hours from Chico near Lassen Park in Shasta County.
🙏
Bring in the National Guard! These guys are overwhelmed!
Prayers for all👍🇺🇸❤️🙏💕
I hope this arsonist NEVER gets to see the outside of a prison ever again. HOW he didnt get prison time for his first felony against a 14 year old girl in 2001 is beyond me, and got his second felony in 2002 and got 20 years. Im glad there is a felony 3 strike rule in california and he is looking at life in prison for pushing his flaming car into a 60 foot gully sparking this fire.
Its california. . . We dont punish crime anymore
@piknick111 california has a three strikes, and you're our rule, and this is his 3rd felony strike. California isn't bothered about misdemeanour crimes by the looks of it.
@piknick111 look up Ronnie Dean Stout II, of Chico, California, he is 42 and got 20 years in 2002 for his second felony of a serious burglary.
We use to have sawmills. They are long gone because it was terrible to cut down trees? So the whoe forest burning down is better?
YIKES
This is heartbreaking. I hope the arson gets the maximum punishment the law allows.
most fires is over power wires and lightning.
@swampysanta5445 this one was started by Ronnie Dean Stout II, of Chico, California. He decided to push his car that was on fire (not sure if he set that alight) down a 60-foot gully. He is currently in jail with no bond.
@@photomaker4502 apprently this is his 3rd felony strike and looking at life in prison.
@@kevinwake8789 oh wow!
No words...
Arson
No freedom for the 42 year old bloke who pushed his on fire car down a 60-foot gully sparking this fire, as he is in jail on no bond and this is his 3 felony strike which is life in prison in california.
How cooked did the trucks get at the start of the video? Wow!
Thank goodness for Firestone Tires...
@@deletemaster35 Vulcanized twice!
Wow 😢
Unbelievable Video...
El zippotaso 🏁
Prayers for people, pets, wildlife safe. And I hope to get it gone. And salute to all the emergency personnel, keep them safe.
Horrible to see this.
Horrible to know a 42 year old bloke deliberately started this by pushing his burning car down a 60-foot gully. He is in jail atm with no bond, and this is his 3rd strike felony, so quite possibly getting life in prison, plus extra if anyone dies.
I hear long tern people from California say stuff like, this area hasn't had a fire for 15-20 years, it's building alot of fuel. Years ago Yellow Stone park had a huge amount burned. In the next few years there was way more wildlife diversity. Strange how cycles of life are. Now in California, there are cities and town in big fire danger areas. Bet fire insurance is real high. Thought everything there is, even trees.
Trying to make yourself feel good about it, aren't you? i grew up in Northern California from 1952 on. Back in the old days, we hardly ever had fires and never ones this big.
@deaddocreallydeaddoc5244 I would like to see records from way back on acres burned and also how much was being spent (today's equivalent) on firebreaks, controlled burns, bush removal, lumber harvest, etc. I went to Canada around 1982 and we went through spots were over 100 miles had burned, pretty much only stumps left and wondered how such big fires and didn't see anything on the news. Today, we see way more on the internet. How much different is it today only because of that? I don't know. I do know that here in the midwest, it use to be largely prairie grass and there were huge fires, but now way less, most is now crops.
@deaddocreallydeaddoc5244 And no I don't feel good about it. Most fires in are forests use to be do to lightning strikes and miss managed camp fires, etc. Now because of those things and powerlines and way more arsen, as the Parks fire was. Also heard non native ukalipis (sp) trees and such, that burn like a match, are all over. Here in the Blackhill of SD, a Beatles has been killing large areas of trees and they stand dead. My friend sold his place there a few years ago because huge fires were likely to come through and leave his land will little value.
About one year after the Campfire we drove through Paradise to reach a function in Magalia. It was amazing to see so many pine trees that were clearly burnt, with black bark and lots of empty black limbs sticking out like a pin cushion but new bright green pine boughs were growing out of the trunks all the way up. There were large ferns growing in empty parking lots, and flowers were growing where they had been for years. Nature comes back. This state is amazing because its nature is remarkably diverse and resilient.
Omg! 😮
😢 OMG 😱🥵
Unexpected cause of arson.
top1 Littering cigarettes.
top2 place arson.
There is no point being that close in that first clip
Asmany fires and big fires in Ca you think the state be burn up by now it be gone.why so many fires everytime turn around
California is about 105,000,000 acres. Much of what burns can grow back pretty quickly. So five or ten million acres burning each year is not a big deal. That can go on forever.
Poor forest management
@@suzannebizzini The state does OK. but with climate change deniers it is challenging. The thing that is interesting is that a lot of the plants in the forested areas especially only germinate after they have been burned. So allergy season is always more 'fun' after a big fire. I live close the fire and it has been amazing how many resources and people are coming from all over to help and the refugee centers are kicked in, and it is very well organized to help. The biggest problem other than the weather is the PTSD everyone here is suffering because of the Campfire six years ago. They have professional counseling available for those that need it as of the day the fire started.
I think the left (west) and right (east) flanks of the fire are contained. The west flank being the one near Chico and right flank being the one near Paradise. I’d say about 50 percent of the fire is contained except for the top (north) head of the fire and NE east corner of the fire. Been monitoring it since it began and haven’t noticed growth west side (Chico) or east side (paradise) so this means they have those two sides under control. 😊 Good job to all first responders!!
people not fire personnel dont have a clue whats going on with the fire. this fire is 0 percent contained
The fire has created its own weather system man and the entire thing can be seen from up North as far as redding maybe even Mount Shasta I saw a fire lightning I saw a funnel trying to form I saw this from reading so you guys stay safe please stop assuming ma'am it could actually hurt you and any fur babies you have if you don't prepare now I get it one of the first stages of grief is denial
Paradise just got evacuation orders. My family in Shasta County, 2 hours from Chico, just got safely out due to evacuation orders for areas near Lassen Park. This is bigger and faster than the Carr Fire and the Camp Fire, of which many who live in the area are still traumatized by. Prayers to all.
My nephew is attending the Fire Academy at age 16 to be ready to go with his certification onto the job once he's 18. Keep in mind that many are young like that fighting these fires. Much like our military.
@@kyriethika Emma Redding I'm at a star watching spot on a hill where a lot of people go I watched it explode it looks like visually they got where it was trying to burn up and over the hill to come towards reading they got that contained it looks like I know it says 0% contained but I am literally watching it from a hill and I've been watching it for about 5 hours and I visually saw that it was on fire and now it's not so that's good it was trying to come up over the hill into redding
@@kyriethika im in Magalia. Last I checked we had evacuation warnings not orders. Same for paradise. When did you get an evacuation order to go?
Hey I saw fire lightning from reading and I thought I saw a fire funnel cloud watch out it went back to normal but it was trying to form a fire funnel cloud where the fire lightning was happening I don't think you guys want to stay in Butte right now
DEW
DEW strike again!
Just got back from a fire and I wanna say a lot of people dont understand how dangerous it is to put it simply we got called for initial attack and when we almost had the fire under control the fire jump behind us and we got into some trouble a lot of my peers were really scared because we couldn't see dew to the smoke and the fire was hot as hell plus the temperature we got out of the that fire unscathed but it was a close one so this is for all my peers let's keep on fighting
You guys don't have infrared goggles to help see through the smoke?
@@MEDIA_NETWORK_MARKET_CAP_IS_3M no we don't they supply that to you have to get it you're self but also you sweat so almost any glasses or Google fog up
Dude infrared googles? Think you watch too much tv shows and or video games.
Forest circus. What a joke
This is a prime example of why more people need to get more prepared and think about "Emergency Preparedness Management" for both your home and vehicles.

No DEI hires in that crowd. Everyone there was busting @$$.
You do realize that DEI used like that is code for "I'm a racist and a misogynistic who believes no one but rich, white men should have rights and freedoms" right?
California is highly diversified. There are Fire fighters from all over, with all kinds of skin colors. There are women and LBGTQ busting their ass, and often work harder because it takes more to prove they are equal than white male privilege. I know. I served.
Tell me how you're an a-hole without saying you're an a-hole - by making a reference to DEI as if it's a bad thing! Last I checked, this is still America with rights and freedoms for ALL. And I'd be damned if I let an A-hole like you, MAGA, and your cult leader Trump take that away from me or anyone else in this country! I have a combat service record to prove it. I'm proud to be a crazy cat lady, as well!
I can't stand ignorant racist Jerks!
Look at that! They putting out fire on a grass area with a shovel instead of water. Kids play!
Shame on those without their PPE.
If you join the fire department and get treated like crap over petty stuff. Just move on to another department. Eventually you may find a home if it's what you have a passion for.
Kids play! Lol
Who's that Congress-mom , with the minivan. The one who has all those whiteboards and puts people in their places with the same class and style as Mayor Pete? Her.
I searched "congress-mom with the minivan" and google came up with Katie Porter.
