Oh, It's Just a Grass Fire

- Because grass fires often burn in short, light fuels, some firefighters may tend to encounter them with their "guard down"-without taking adequate safety precautions. Using lessons learned from actual grass fire incidents, this video illustrates why such a mindset can have disastrous outcomes. Don't believe it? Hear a severely burned firefighter explain what he now wants you to always remember.

If you watch enough of these you realize the same "lessons" are having to be learned over and over again. Senseless.
"Fight from the black" always remember that. Fuel may be short but it is insane sometimes. Almost magical when clumped in the right way. I've seen a 3x3 inch section nearly exploded. It is so crazy especially in high wind areas like high valleys
Also the retention rate is super low. For"HAZMAT Pay" the best u can hope for in Idaho is $15/hr to start. WA and OR u get $22/hr. Most employees starting make it 2 years or less. Required to travel all around state and do uncontrolled firefighting? Most hazmat jobs pay 3x if not more than that. It's not worth it for people. It's more worth it to protest in name of climate change which is causing all that
RIP Destry Horton. You died protecting others. may your family find comfort in knowing you are a hero. May your story save many lives. Dwight Murphy, Thank you, sir. I hope you have healed completely. May your words also save fellow firefighters lives.
Grass hides muddy and boggy ground, sticking with the black helps you spot that. I saw several brush truck videos where the truck almost got stuck, and it was in fuel.

I've known of some grass fires that move a lot faster than 8mph so heads up.
@* AnimalHeadSpirit * , We get a lot of Sand Shinnery-oak, that grows about 2' tall and very thick, hard to walk thru. Plus tall prairie grass like bluestem, Indian, and cordgrass. Then coupled with flat prairie land, normal winds are 15 to 20 MPH. So when fires get going in hi- winds they move really fast, and spot fires are very common, because winds, embers and smoke stay close to the ground. Our advantage is a lot of land is set in square-mile sections dirt roads that help make a natural fire break.
Azusa canyon fire in 1986(?) was spreading DOWNHILL at over 3'/second I think it was
grassoline
I remember being on an eastern fire and a former chief said it's just grass guys but the winds changed and it almost cost houses and ffers i always let a foot in the blAck after that and really respect goes out to all wildland ff wether full timers imate s volunteers or contract it's a tough job for sure
Thanks boss. Also thank u too. We changed chiefs, in volunteer area, and it feels less safe. Miss the old trainings
Friend an oil well scout had to outrun a fire and drove 60 mph to try to get ahead. By the time he got to the highway his white Tahoe was smoky gray. Panhandle 06...
We trained on staying in the black years ago. The terminology changes but we were dealing with urban interface and wildland fires before the terminology came about. Many tactics the Sedgwick County Fire Department developed from the 1940's on. Now communications lets that knowledge get shared. I hope these videos are utilized by our local departments.
Sedgwick County? Wichita KS?
Whilst working as an engineer I had a close call with a fireball but wearing every bit of kit required I was unmarked the guy who caused it looked like a spit roast pig.
Moral, If it is supplied, WEAR IT,
Let me first start by saying, my heart goes out to the Horton family, and friends. I just wish they had folllowed safety precautions. Chief Jim Richardson and FBA Brad Smith spoke about LCS and the communications.I am a hotshort. 1980 to 85.(Nevada). and these same communications was giving to me over and over, I know how it is to work with gloves on, I was fine a few times. His day off,fightsfire turns 2 Rescue and dies, I am so sorryThank you for showing Brothers and sisters need reminding
May All that is Good and Strong and Beautiful be with our precious firefighters. This is a new Era, a new time where fires are preforming in previously unseen ways. Appreciate magnetic induction and microwave technology.
I've been in some moving between 20 to 40 mph just depended on the winds.
This is why fire fighters going into any fire zone without an adequate water supply is a No Win situation. Humans without substantial fire fighting equipment and materials just can't stop a fire! Just Being There ain't going to get it done!
You absolutely do not need water to suppress a fire. It really really helps but it can completely be done without water.
My grandpa flicked his cigarette into his front yard, and went around to the back out the house, and under a minute, the whole lawn was on fire
LMAO !
And thats why you throw it in the neighbors yard.
Never think it's grass fire, lesson learned very quickly for myself and my friends on a farm land burning old dead grass and we caught in the middle of a burn, I had on bib overalls and jacket, my friends didn't have good clothes for helping with burning the field off.
What a horrible way to go.
Boy...fires near Boulder, fires in Kansas, fires in MT...no one should EVER say 'it's just a grass fire' again.
Ah, Wag Dodge. You smart mother...
Cooper montane fire was moving a football field a minute back in 2011
Matt65 up hill?
that works out to about 3.5 mph
Almost had a major grass fire today
Just learned today that WildlandFire is not a Limited Liability Company lol
grass fire just destroyed 580+ homes here in colorado.
we were training on attack from the black at DFPA back in the 80's. I would walk with one foot in black and the other in grass while on the hose. Put the hose on spray and go. Watching these guys use straight stream is surprising; monumental waste of water
good video, but shitty, annoying background "music", case of compulsive sound editing.
We never fight wildland fires from the black! Ever! Nor when we take training with MNR do they train municipal firefighter to fight from the black! Very strange to hear you train this way in the states.
We also as structural firefighters use wildland gear now adays instead of bunker gear. Bunker gear is heavy and hot and the guys were not wearing full PPE because of this. Putting themselves in danger so we went with full 1 piece wildland nomex suits. Now the boys wear 100% of their PPE and are safe for it! It was worth the extra costs.
God Bless. I became interested in all of these fires after our son's Ventura neighborhood was evacuated. Four friends lost everything. I see that there are fires with anomalous characteristics happening around the world : Marco Polo condos Hawaii, Sindika/ Kemerovo Malls Russia, Haifa Israel - 2016, Madeira Portugal, British Columbia ( especially Loon Lake - metal docks on lake melted like grilled cheese), Alberta, Dubai new condo building, collapse of steel/ concrete freeway bridge Atlanta, Liverpool Car park with completely destroyed concrete, Madeira Portugal, and the many anomalous aspects in Santa Rosa - including severe road damage, drainage pipes many feet below road surface, deformation of large steel I beams, too much to discuss. Appreciate electromagnetic induced metal melting, microwave technology. May All that is Good and Strong and Beautiful be with our Firefighters.

Why would you not anchor off black? Its a surefire way of ensuring you don't get flanked. Where are you out of?
REMIREZZ I’m in northeast Kansas and we fight fire from the black as much as we can. Head out west, they fight from the green. The topography and vegetation are vastly different in both parts of the state. There’s a lot more tall prairie grass out west, I’m talkin chest high in some places. And that tall grass is real good about hiding draws and ravines. So, in order to see better and fight fire safer, guys in western Kansas fight from the green.
Red flag warning right now but we get plenty of those
cheatgrass = higher fire dangers
Drag the black?
