    Cody, the best way to get an accurate reading with Kestrel weather meters is to hang them in the shade of the vegetation your working in for several minutes then read them. They are so sensitive that standing in direct sun, on pavement, or even a gravel driveway will affect the reading. Been a busy fire season here n Northern California also, keep up the good work and stay safe.

    I'm an aspiring wildland firefighter (I just finished S-130 and S-190 and will be doing many prescribed burns this year) so I absolutely love seeing this kind of stuff. Even if it doesn't seem like much, I'm excited to see all the things my instructor has been talking about in play on a fire. Thanks for your work and keep it up!

    Wow so much equipment. I've been fighting fires for 30 years here in Australia. Love seeing how you guys fight fires there in the states. Keep up the great work. Ps it looks like we are going to have a bad fire season here this summer it's only September and we've had several fires already. Keep safe

  • @hex0rz1
    @hex0rz1 6 ปีที่แล้ว +29

    Cody, would you mind doing a video about how a homeowner could create a defensible space according to what you've learned while being a wildland firefighter?
    I'm trying to find out more on home sprinkler fire suppression systems and how they're utilized. I haven't seen much covered on the subject except what people do in Australia.

    • @wayneessar7489
      @wayneessar7489 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      hex0rz1 I believe if you look back in his video list there is a bunch of information that he gave when he was clearing up around his workshop and other outbuilding that describe what you want to know.
      Sorry I don't know exactly which one, perhaps someone else remembers.

    • @hex0rz1
      @hex0rz1 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Wayne Essar
      Oh that's right. I remember that, now that you mention it.
      Okay, well then how about more talk about what he was doing with the sprinklers to protect the historical building. :)

    • @brendanstanford5612
      @brendanstanford5612 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      hex0rz1. Look into the sprinkler system that is fixed to the tallest point of a structures roof. There are massive ones that cover 300' diameter circles all around your building

    @chrislay3827 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Loving these videos, I'm from Australia so seeing how firefighting is done elsewhere is most interesting. Had volunteer crews from your part of the world help out in fires near where I live and vice versa too. A man or woman who volunteers to risk their life to protect other peoples property from fire like you do is a real hero in my book.

    Thanks Cody for bringing us along. My son is deployed on the Norse Peak fire in Washington right now. He talks about all these things you are showing in your videos. It's really great to be able to actually see what he is describing. Keep up the great work and please be safe... all of you.

    • @barryjansen3389
      @barryjansen3389 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks so much, Mrs. W. and to you as well. The men and women out on the fire lines could not do what they do without the never ending support of their families. People tend to forget the toll it takes on the families left behind. You guys never get the credit you deserve. Love your channel and the message you share with us all. Keep up the great work, it is appreciated by so many. Just curious, is Jack interested in following in his dads footsteps?

    • @wranglerstar
      @wranglerstar  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      he wants to make videos but not be on fires...but that could all change as he gets older

    Hi Cody,
    I would never grind you about the Metric system in times like this but what you are doing is truly awesome and respectable hence Why I Think You're Doing This.
    Its always interesting and a pleasure to see in behind the scenes in wildland firefighting work, some beautiful homes too.
    Take care and stay safe dude.

    Cody I hope you see this comment, my wife and I were married just across the river from where you're at right now. I have a special love for that area, for those people, and for the work you guys are doing. Thank you so much for all your work, it's been a couple days since you posted this and I've been following all the progress closely. It looks like you guys are really getting some work done, and I hope they can get it all contained. Afterwards, I hope the people of this state start to realize that we are allowing certain individuals to mismanage our forests and that's what leads to issues like these.

    Wow, nice 1st house. Easily defensible. Nice job by homeowner. A quick spray down prior to the flame front with some foam to increase the moisture uptake into the wood, and that looks like winner with little work. The other homes, you guys got some work...
    Thanks for sharing this. I am going to watch this with my crew at the FD and talk about what you showed. Many of them have never deployed. This is a great tool!!!
