This style of strategy was used close by my home. Cal fire had a control burn that jumped from the section they were buring, and a 27mph wind blew, and the fire just spread. Luckily, all the cal fire firefighters got it under control overnight.
@Dee12346 yes it is necessary. It's also the reason we don't have as many forest forest in the east. California has mismanaged their forests for too long and they'll never be able to keep up again. We just did a 70 acre burn a few weeks ago, everything went perfectly.
@@goranjovcic6962nature usually burns the forest but you can't control when or where lightning will strike. So, they do a controlled burn to keep nature from making a BIG fire that can't be controlled. Also many forest seeds such as pine need fire to release them so they can grow into young trees. These controlled burns do not burn everything.
I got the chance to be on upper lake Mary while the firemen did a control burn around the lake, it was awesome being able to watch fire shoot those same type of flares from their boat, also got to wake board during the controlled burn it was really awesome and got some really cool videos and pictures from it.
If you burn up the fuel in the direction the main fire is heading it will stop any advancement because there's nothing to burn! I used to do backburns but with a drip torch not flares.
Since 95 they brought back controlled burns since they found out (the hard way) that putting out every natural fire just builds up the fuel reserves until you get a fire you cannot control creating a firestorm hellscape.
It’s a backfire. It basically burns out the fuel before the fire meets it. Saw someone on here compare it to lighting the two ends of a piece of string. The fire will go out in the middle when they meet and there is no more fuel to burn.
How about changing the trees from more fire resistant trees like broad leaf. Mix the population of needle trees used for dimensional wood and plant a boundary of broad leaf it burns slower and are not so tall. This gives the fire stompers to catch up.

Yea we normally have hand crews or additional assets on standby incase a controlled burn gets out of hand.
In Louisiana we have controlled burns in our forests to eliminate all the ground fuel.

Lots more sparks than the ones I've seen before--do they use specialized flares, different from the usual signal flares?
Most likely burns a lot hotter and a lot more intense, give it more of a chance to catch
Wildland Firefighter here! It’s called a Very Pistol, it’s a special wheel flare that’s made of Magnesium burning very hot, and spins like a top!
@@ovar9000umadquestion may be dumb but why are they creating even more fire in the back for
It probably uses magnesium or some other flammable metal in order to give off such sparks.
@@ovar9000umadthank you for your service good sir
Is anyone talking about the amount of mosquitoes
Good ol’ alaska 🫠
It’s the state bird!!!
I thought it was close in my eyes 👀
❤❤❤❤
Them: *sees a mosquito*
Also them:🔥

You all thought fight fire with fire was just a saying
It takes a group of professionals to take out this fire
From San Bernardo, Ca mtns above Lk Arrowhead, 20 years. They sometimes lose control of “ controlled” burns. And DAMNED mosquitoes!
Only a DC-10 will handle this...
Must've been a sight to see if its night
Even fire won't get rid of Mosquitoes 😮
Back burning we used a similar method on the YELLOWSTONE FIRE in 87/88 from CASS job CORPS for 31 days
Fighting fire with fire
Are you putting it out
They will put it out, at some point. Fires like this are easy to control.
It is right to control fire !
I never understood why they did this. Wouldn't that just cause it to spread faster?
No you’re burning all the fuel the big uncontrolled fire needs to spread.
If you light a piece of string on fire and light the other-side on fire, when the two flames meat they go out
@@innovationfanboy1639 so you're trying to out burn the fire before it spreads?
It's because it's unsafe to send some one out to ignite it with a drip torch.
@@holyarmageddon19 yes. You destroy the fuel before the uncontrolled fire reaches it
This doesn't work in a house fire situation I'll bet .
House fires aren’t in massive open areas with tons of fuel to burn. It’s restricted by the house. Unlike a wildfire
Fighting fire with fire eh. Just fell fire lines and use the material as biomass. Use a root ripper and level and wild seed the lines.
I just keep noticing those mosquitoes
This video is 🔥Fire🔥
I don't understand but seems interesting

This technique is to create a fire line. Ask your forest ranger so people be educated.
wow #professionalfirefighter
I shot one of those before and it hit a log and bounced back up at us on the landing 😅
The wind is at his back.
Aren’t fire fighters supposed to put out the firs not light them?

Controlled fires can prevent further spreading of growing fires and can be a containment method
If they do a controlled fire, it can prevent a fatal uncontrollable one
The mosquitos.....🤯
Works well...

AMEN
Chena IHC?
In control stub burning we used fan to direct flames if you increase size you could keep flames in one spot
Varies pistol
I hope that’s not a real gun🐭🐭🐭🐭
