@Otaku hunter Seems an interesting point to focus on in RedPanda's comment - even if there isn't women present in this video they are definitely fighting fires here.
@@lauspeculum Thanks! When I said "these brave men and women", I was referring more generally to *all* our firefighters, not specifically the ones in this video.
Those Aussie fire truck emergency water spray systems are pretty cool. From what I understand the system has its own water tank, which can be used for no other purpose, so you know when you're out of firefighting water and it's time to save your lives.
hey I just want to say if you look at the seconds on the bottom about two seconds pass for every second. This video is sped up to two times speed or more and is not how fast the fire actually spread. Around 1:29 the video goes back to normal speed according to the time on the bottom.
Holy shit….I’ve never lived anywhere there has been problems with forest fires, I’ve heard people say they move fast, but seeing it and hearing about it are 2 different things….that was friggin terrifying.
It would have been a much better video if it hadn't been sped up by a factor of 2 - and also, that should have been highlighted in the description. It's an impressive video, but for those of us looking for real data, it's misleading as it stands.
Personally I took a second and then pretty easily recognized that the video was sped up. People don't move like that. It didn't feel too misleading to me.
Perhaps those of us looking to collect data would notice the recording comes with a clock registering exactly how much time went by allowing anyone to pinpoint the real time it took. Not to mention the editor went out of their way to pinpoint time stamps (7pm and 7:02pm) to let us know, again, exactly how long it took. I don’t feel it was misleading at all.
@ You would've burnt, There is a viral video in Australia of Firefighters who left too late. They had to drive through a road engulfed in flames, if they didn't have blankets to stop the heat from getting into the truck, they may have all died. A vehicle is the worst place to be in during a Bushfire.
@@amireghlima7223 Sorry, but I have seen the full original video, its not long only about 4 minutes. But this one is under 2min - it IS sped up. Seeing the emergency personnel react in real time has a greater impact than this sped up vid, imo.
@@amireghlima7223 The video is definitely sped up after starting at normal speed - even if you don't notice the obvious sped-up motions of the firies from 0:13, the time code at the bottom left clearly speeds up. When the fire front passes towards the end of the video it reverts back to normal speed.
I understood it was intense, but that's the stuff of nightmares.... and the government doesn't want to pay volunteers who go up against that? Unbelievable.
@@joshuahawkes7218 Fair enough, that was borderline oxymoronic. The federal has authorised limited payments to fireys (volunteer fireys). So they volunteered to do the work, and got paid.
@@joshuahawkes7218 You've completely missed the point!!! Volunteers DOES NOT automatically exclude you from some form of financial compensation!!! These people should be given significant financial benefits for putting their lives on the line like this!!! It is criminal that the government does not do more to financially compensate and recognise such heroes. Imagine would would happen in lives lost and property damage if no one volunteered to undertake this dangerous duty!!!
I would like to see a variety of heavy duty water trucks made available during fire season. The type of water trucks used in the mining and construction industry would be ideal in certain areas. * Caterpillar 740 Water Truck (holds 8000 gallons of water) *Caterpillar 745C Water Truck (holds 9000 gallons of water) * Caterpillar 772 Water Truck (holds 11,000 gallons of water) The water cannons are located on the front, back and sides. Where in Australia are they right now?
Not saying it isn't fast and terrifying but the video is sped up. They are fast enough in real time why ruin the integrity of the claim by speeding it up.
Yeah think you are right.. Still pretty scary the way it crossed that road you could totally see anyone still standing their would have been burned to a crisp
From what I read elsewhere, it was tasked with defending the property. They knew the fire was heading there with the wind change but it hit 10 minutes earlier than predicted. The other people were heading off to their post.
@@olirc I would like to think the firefighters would not just chill in the fire zone and rely purely on the crew protection system in a out of control fire, when they could drive off like the others? Probably a reasonable question unless someone is as much of an expert as yourself ofcourse
The time stamp is in the video too. So the complaint is what exactly? That it is better to be burnt alive for 30 seconds than a minute? Given that the time stamp is in the video frame, its utterly clear that it took only a minute in real time to engulf the area in flames.
2020 was not the best year but it showed we humans we need to work on global warming since these fires will get more and more likely to rage again and MORE DEADLY.
You trying to scare people more by switching it up to 3/4x speed..? Like it needs it you turds.., seen the original and the rate it rips through there is terrifying enough without being emphasised more
mr Smith I don’t think you totally understand these situations. The fire in this video is a firestorm. They create there own weather and are unpredictable. They are moving at 25-30kmh, the fire is higher than the burning trees, winds inside the storm can be 100kmh+, smoke creating no visibility and heaps of red hot embers being chucked into the sky and carried with the wind sometimes 40km ahead of the fire. Would you send ground crews and aircraft to a fire like that?
@@theviewer6889 yh a leaky hose pipe wouldnt do the job but fire travels at like 1mph, if every fire station in America came and helped and a waterplane convoy, I don't see the problem
That is definitely the most terrifying thing I have ever seen.
The entire nation owes these brave men and women a debt we can never repay.

@Otaku hunter ahhhh... my sister in law is a firie
@Otaku hunter I see an incel in you though.

about 60 seconds from breathable air standing in that road, to immediate asphyxiation and smoke inhalation.
We will never be grateful enough for having you guys thank you from the bottom of my heart

This is insane. One second the trees were there and the next they weren't
Holy shit….I’ve never lived anywhere there has been problems with forest fires, I’ve heard people say they move fast, but seeing it and hearing about it are 2 different things….that was friggin terrifying.
You can kind of compensate for the sped-up video by playing at 0.5 speed.
That's what I did
custom speed at 0.45x was the closest I think to approximation
why speed up the footage? it's only 3 !/2 minutes from go to woah - and it's the most horrifying thing I've ever seen...
In settings watch in half speed or quarter speed. =-)
QQTrick1QQ those are too slow though compared to the actual speed of the footage, it’s between .5 and .75 speed
I slowed the video down to 0.5x
It would have been a much better video if it hadn't been sped up by a factor of 2 - and also, that should have been highlighted in the description. It's an impressive video, but for those of us looking for real data, it's misleading as it stands.
Glad there’s comments like this one
You can also slow the video down to .25 but it might not be accurate.
@@xephyre6955 you mean 0,5.

Firefighter : Where is fire
Fire:....…..
That's scary fast!
I'm so thankful everyone got out

Holy Moly
THIS is why you should evacuate early and not at the last minute.
Damn man... If you was caught in that 60 seconds of time you'd be toast... a "fire front"? Well we saw one..... now we know...
It would have been more impressive if you hadn't sped up the video, given the original is only a few minutes long.
This video isnt sped up, It is how fast the fire really spreads

put it to 0.5
@@amireghlima7223 it's speeded up, look the seconds on the bottom left
Sped up or not, that is absolutely terrifying
Its crazy how fast a fire will move when strong winds are behind it, plus how it engulfs everything in sight!
I'm praying for rain their all day.
rain wont help
Heavy rain will poison the creeks and rivers with ash, staving aqautic life of oxygen
@@camboi6103 really? Why?
@@josuebarboza9809 Because the rain will force the Ash and smoke down into the rivers and creeks, the smoke and ash will then poison the water
I understood it was intense, but that's the stuff of nightmares.... and the government doesn't want to pay volunteers who go up against that? Unbelievable.
well, there's a reason they don't get paid, there VOLUNTEERS, it in the name!

Back on top.........finally.
Video is sped up; check the time on the bottom...
That was scary just watching... Must have been horrific to live through!
Why did they have to speed the video up? The point is to see how “fast” it actually takes not see it sped up.
How comes I can no longer find this video with audio ?

Where in Australia are they right now?
Mr Chris well if the Prime minister didn’t cut more then half the funds for the firefighters they maybe could of fought it off
Too big to get down almost any firetrail or rural road.
Does this have sound?
Holly f... it wasn't even a minute 😱😱
So that's how fire spreads...
Play at 0.5x speed to see it in realtime
video is clearly sped up. still though, less than 5 minutes and everything was inceinertated
Except the frame rate is sped up. Why do that?
wow. omg. that is so terrifying.
Not saying it isn't fast and terrifying but the video is sped up. They are fast enough in real time why ruin the integrity of the claim by speeding it up.
But that footage has been speeded up. So it's not showing the actual speed of the fire.
Yeah think you are right.. Still pretty scary the way it crossed that road you could totally see anyone still standing their would have been burned to a crisp
Only by 50% - you can change the replay time to show it in real-time, which is a terrifying 3 minutes.
Le Coady Yup, and it slows back to normal speed at points throughout.
I'm not sure I could watch three minutes of that without nightmares.
So... There is basically a fire blast that travels slowly and lights up everything into hell?
oh
I am confused why this RFS truck stayed in the fire zone and didn't drive off with the others?
Bless you, for your narrow mindedness. 🙉

The firies probably decided this wasnt going to be too intense, so stayed to defend the house.
Makes sense now. Cheers guys 👍
Flip whole place is in flashover
Over 1200 celsius
Shouldn't have sped it up
Nature is brutal.
wow
Wait if it was captured by a truck left at the scene then were there people in it?
Yes.
Did you see him stop and pose for the camera.?
Is this normal speed?
Not a fan on how this video was sped up...
scaryyyy😑
why 2x speed
The video has been sped up
Only by 50%; still utterly terrifying that this can happen within 3 minutes!
The time stamp is in the video too. So the complaint is what exactly? That it is better to be burnt alive for 30 seconds than a minute? Given that the time stamp is in the video frame, its utterly clear that it took only a minute in real time to engulf the area in flames.
OMG
put speed to 0.5 to see real time footage, +-
Thank you

Didn't think it was that fast ...tinder box
🙏🙏🙏🚫🔥
Oh thats the road to my old house. Hope it burned
well if they were putting it out instaed of running away it might of helped
You can’t put out a fire like that!
