Thank you Juan. You have the most accurate and honest information with no sensationalism of and news source I have found. You have my respect and gratitude.
McClellan Air Tanker base has set a new record for the most fire retardant delivered in a single year at over 6.3 million gallons. That should give you an idea of how aggressive the air attack has been this year so far.
Whoa, I knew the Dixie fire was big, but that's the first time I've heard someone put it that way - the 2 heads of the fire are 60 miles apart?! Scary for all of us living anywhere near here.
This afternoon the airshow was near Lake Davis. They even had a Super Scoop out of Reno, 2 DC 10s and the other planes that now seems to be near Milford. These guys aren't fooling around.
I saw the same thing , seems that we are neighbors :) Nice to meet you ... Everything is burnt up around me , & it's devastating that my local lake Frenchman's is gone , Lake Davis , Lake Almanor and now the ski resorts into Lake Tahoe :,,,,( I and a witness saw a D.E.W , as my windows are tinted we both looked at each other , my passenger said, " did you see that ? " Cause I was looking in my rear view mirror, and my passenger was in the back seat looking back . Long beam above the cloud ploom from high above , no clouds no lighting & the beam struck beyond the fire this was when the Dixie Fire 2nd time flare up , then after that beam Clover Valley ploom of smoke started .. I've heard about this technology, but us seeing it with our own eyes , we're 100% convinced they exist now. . Same beams as many pictures were taken by Paradise residents & a beam captured by a forest watch tower . Unbelievable
I'm in the County east of you , and Doug Lamalfa is mad as hell We The People could've cleaned up the down trees, so we could keep warm this winter .. Tree rounds cut , but closed to the public .. Guess we will be freezing this year cause most houses here, are made for fireplaces ..
I'd been expecting this. There is a large Federal prison near Susanville, and I have read 2 State of CA prisons in that area also. So it's going to be of very important to keep the fire at bay up there.
The federal prison is on herlong right next to the herlong army base which is also a weapons depot, I'm less than 10 miles south right now, herlong has been evacuated but not the prison or the base
I always come here now for updates. I live in West Point and we were lucky the fire went the other way. Blancolirio helps people to see from a birds eye view what’s happening. The MSM for the most part just wanna get those money shots for more views. I hope he continues with his work … he’s much appreciated.
Great update. I wish you could do more updates on the Dixie fire twice a day like CALFIRE had been doing, but now all the attention is on the Caldor Fire. I live in Herlong and we never got a warning to evacuate when the Beckwourth fire came through Doyle and jumped 395. Two days ago the sheriff's department came through and gave us a mandatory evacuation order. The fire was over 15 to 20 miles away from the ridge and 395 by the Mark. Last night it came down the ridge but the fire break they had set up i think has stopped it. I don't see any flare ups this morning. Anyways, hope you'll do more reports on the Dixie fire. Oh, and a few of us are staying in Herlong. Were going to fight it out if it gets to Patton Village
Juan, I been watching your fire reporting for 4 years now as well as other information sources. When you look at the maps it seems to me either its been burned or its going to be burned. Philosophically speaking what is the end game here. Seems billions of dollars spent on trying to prevent the inevitable. Aren't all these trees, as beautiful as they once were, just a giant liability. People moving out of the state: terrible air quality: homes lost to fires. Does California just need to start looking like Kansas to survive ?
Was knocked to the ground by a tanker drop of retardant when our crew got cut off by a flare-up on a pine plantation fire that we were mopping-up on in SE OK. We were normally timber fallers working on a Weyco company crew. This mop-up task was normally easy money, all we had to do was patrol the firebreaks and cut down snags and put out small spot. We got trapped by a sudden wind change. Thats when it got real. Fortunately a bomber flying out of Ft Smith AR was just arriving on scene and we managed to get him to divert and drop his load on our position. He was accurate I'll give him that. The drop opened up a very narrow corridor for us to escape. Seems like we lost a dozer on that fire. The retardant was dyed pink so we were all pink until we got a chance to wash down. Remember right thew retardant was ammonium or calcium phosphate.
Yes it is , my local lake Frenchman's is gone , seeing dead animals everywhere was devastating & the Community is helping as much as we can to help the fire victims.
Why aren't there air-cranes with water tanks and fire hoses that can protect houses and structures? A person can fire a machine gun from a chopper, why not a fore hose?
Some may hit the dislike button because they don't like the event that has triggered this video - It can be a debate where one likes the report but not the event.
I know they're very expensive but with those big lakes right there, it's a shame that Calfire doesn't have a fleet of CL-415's out there, they could really put a lot of water on those fires.
We've watched you for several years now. Your reports on air incidents are really informative. The safety information you provide on wildfires and the status reports on the water situation are a big help to those affected. We're flatlanders down in Morgan Hill so we're not generally impacted by the wildfires except for one PSPS outage. Now we have a generator. We appreciate your work and thank you for it!! Take care, FLY SAFE!
Not sure what this channel is about anymore. You were a great aircraft accident commentator, which is why I subscribed in the first place along with the rest of your core audience.
what is the point of having tankers that need so much time to refuel and get water and not get a buttload of canadair's and air tractors? and a shitload of skycranes with the firefighting module?
I hear ya. Google says there are about 40 active skycranes in the world. If they could all come to California right now, it would still be a pretty small shitload. I'd like to see some big ass pumps in Mono and Honey and Tahoe lakes with miles of pipe/hoses and big booster pumps along the way. Just dreaming, tho, they probably wouldnt do much good except locally.
Greetings from Ireland. These kind of fires simply never happen here (not enough forest and always far too wet!). I do wonder though if these methods of controlling fires are somewhat futile? Would it not make more sense just to make sure there are wide firebreaks surrounding all the population centres?
The fire can easily jump the highway and head out into the grasslands. If you think this fire in the forest has been moving fast, you will be shocked at how much faster it travels out on the flats.
The Environmentalists will never allow anything that would solve the problem because then they would have nothing to do. Environmentalists and Activists don’t really care about their cause. They are just people that like causing commotion and disruption and most importantly they profit from it.
Sucks all this is happening, but what was this fire origin? They tried to say Tamarack fire was from lightning. I live near Minden wasn't a cloud in the sky that day when that fire happened. This is being allowed to burn in Tahoe.
Where is the 747 Super Tanker????? Five of those things would have had this fire contained by now, I guess they would rather spend a Trillion Dollars in Afghanistan...

Great content as always Juan, good job!!!
Thank you Juan. We have a house near Blairsden and I'm stuck in San Diego so your Dixie Updates are very helpful.
Best reporting there is, thanks big time , stay safe
Sure wish they could get those fires put out.....been choking on your smoke all summer here in South Dakota

Great update, thanks!
Also see; Kathryn Davidson Wildfire's TH-cam channel. More good coverage
Well, I am so proud of C.A.R.B for interrogating vehicles ECU, ECM, for any history of tuning.
Your nonstop master thanks for all the work
You provide the best coverage.
Thank you for your factual updates.
Seriously good coverage sir.
Thanks for the update! God Bless You and yours!!
A lot of bad fire juju with that escarpment in the past.
I pray continued good weather and a heavy dose of rain. Thanks Juan keeping us out east with these life changing fires.
Sure would have been nice to have the supertanker this season.
Excellent presentation

Of course they'll step it up. They don't want to lose any Casino's. LOL

There aren't any casinos in that area.

Are they fighting fire at night yet? Rumor was that some SoCal assets were coming up (LA county?) that had experience doing that.

Greetings from Ireland. These kind of fires simply never happen here (not enough forest and always far too wet!). I do wonder though if these methods of controlling fires are somewhat futile? Would it not make more sense just to make sure there are wide firebreaks surrounding all the population centres?
Why are the tankers trying to put out the fire if it will stop at 395?
The fire can easily jump the highway and head out into the grasslands. If you think this fire in the forest has been moving fast, you will be shocked at how much faster it travels out on the flats.
Tankers don’t put out fire. Firefighters with boots on the ground do. Tankers, when they are lucky, can slow it down, and steer it a bit.
Thanks again!
What is the USAF aircraft that flys in each day from Eugene Oregon. Near the Tahoe lake fire
What happened to 747 Tanker?
Bankrupt
What causes all these fires though...
PG@E is responsible for this one. Power lines hit by down trees
Evil people who have nothing to offer in life.
@@BOOGIESTARSEVEN shit.
Three main causes - power lines, people, lightening.
@@18robsmith ppl are malicious these days
California is eventually going to run out of woodland/fuel on the ground. Then maybe the environmentalists will allow proper forest management.
The Environmentalists will never allow anything that would solve the problem because then they would have nothing to do.
Environmentalists and Activists don’t really care about their cause. They are just people that like causing commotion and disruption and most importantly they profit from it.
The loggers in the early 2000's did do fire management, but NOOOOOO they had to stop that ... s.m.h
Sucks all this is happening, but what was this fire origin? They tried to say Tamarack fire was from lightning. I live near Minden wasn't a cloud in the sky that day when that fire happened. This is being allowed to burn in Tahoe.

I read that the company that owns the 747 tankers did NOT get a government contract renewal. Go figure.
Bankrupt
