I get anxiety just watching these videos, so THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR FIGHTING FIRES!! ALL FIRST RESPONDERS ARE HEROS. I mean that from the bottom of my heart. I have been saved one time by a ambulance crew after a bad car wreck, I still know one of the guys who helped me, he gets random gift cards at times and thinks it's the weirdest thing... he doesn't know I am the one planting them lol.
If you mean it looks like a Death Trap? then yeah it fully looks similar to Storm King(South Canyon-1994). To me, as a veteran Wildland Fire Fighter(1994-2010) this looks like a situation where you shouldn’t get out of the Helicopter thats landing on this Hogback-15:28
the weather changes in these canyon fires cause these blow ups to happen so quickly that in some cases it's unavoidable. As far as not being there, the public would not allow that. You have to protect my home is the cry most often heard.
I am the only bystander witness of the loop fire and saw what happened not as explained.I was at the base of the ravine where a street ran out walking home from high school a teen girl who ran those moontains about a block away from the bottom of the ravine, I saw no trucks at the bottom. At the top of the ravine I heard loud popping sounds almost like charges. When I looked up at where it was coming from I then saw a ball of fire coming down the ravine like a jet. It got to me too a below away on the ground , fire was started next to a tree. I heard the screams of the men above. I ran like the wind home but just when I got there the news said 10 men were dead before I could get to a phone. The fire came down on a bout a second or second in a half, no time to react. I could hear one last person yelling sounded in pain sounded like he was trying to run up the ravine out of the fire. I was in shock emotionally to not wanting to talk about it then, Bit..I was also told by a friend after wanting to know why they were in that death trap allowed to go and the daughter of a fire higher up said they were told not to go down there. The young and I was too have this invinsible thing going on. They were trying to fight the fire then the wind changed. They had no chance, it went to fast sounded like a jet and moved as fast as one. Went up in the air like a ball of fire, I'll never forget them and saw what they were up against. I go over and over in my head what I could have done to help them even though I know there was noting I could do as even one step forward it was over that fast and knew they needed rescue medical, later that's what I became. ♥️
Impossible the noise coming from that fire was so incredible loud that you nor anyone else could’ve heard somebody way up on the ridge unless you were standing within a foot or two of them. Also from the map those men were easily 3 miles or farther than the closet house. And the fire department would’ve evacuated everyone from their entire neighborhood.
Fuel, wind and topography. Add in the can-do spirit and trouble is brewing.
Aaron it's just you! I was on the Glen Allen Fire!

Is it just me, or does that look a lot like both the Cramer and South Canyon scenes?
Yes, exactly. As well as the old Mann Gulch fire (1947), and the Inaja fire in 1956, I think.

The footage from 21:46 is horrific. Can that be predicted or just not be there at all.

That’s sad
