@@user-gu6nj8lf3w yes sir, I believe you can still get them but getting harder to find.

Hell ya, thanks for commenting

😂😂😂 show me that you are better

Thank you sir

I don’t know that we get them first, seems like we just witness what nature wants to do and sometimes we’re allowed to intervene. Thank you for your comment.

@@86joelt Fair enough! Also do you mind if I use some of your footage from the Catesby fire?

@@DoctorProwl I’m not against people using my material if it’s for a positive reason. Out of curiosity could I ask what you’ll do with it?

@@86joelt I would call it disaster edu-tainment or info-tainment. To be honest, it's not particularly positive, though it has its positive applications, so I'll understand if you don't want me to use it. With disaster footage, I mostly make short-to-long amateur documentaries to discuss aspects of disasters that aren't obvious in the footage itself and which I don't see talked about elsewhere, like little-known hazards, destruction statistics, any records that a disaster broke, interesting phenomena like fire tornadoes, or the distances over which embers were spread, some common mistakes/misconceptions people have about them, while putting a horror spin on it to make it more accessible.

@@DoctorProwl If you would agree to leave names and edit identifying markers out then I’d think the risk of personal and professional embarrassment would be minor?

Music would have definitely made it better 🤠

I don’t blame you a bit, I’d like to be my own boss someday. Thank you for commenting.

@86joelt it was a tricky start deciding to be an owner operator but with the undergraduate in emergency management I obtained during my first season has helped massively Thankfully this summer just gone was a dud and 24/25 looking to be much the same allows me to improve and better equip for 2026

Heck yes, it’s good that you’re optimistic about it. In time I’d like to try out working as fire dozer operator. I hear it’s good pay plus it marries two things I enjoy, running a dozer and fighting fire 😂

Thank you sir

Yes sir, working with an old buddy from unit rig 105. He was drilling on this rig and knew that I liked it as fast as he could safely go.

Thank you, we are also from Oklahoma and I’m still new as well so we’re learning together. Thanks again for your comment.

Yes sir it was, thank y’all for the help 🤠

Glad we could help !! Lost my own house last February to a fire I know how it feels personally!!! I retire out in two yrs can't say I'm not looking forward to it after the last few yrs!!

I hate to hear that about your home, also congratulations on the upcoming retirement. Not a lot of people I know make it that long and I can only hope that I can accomplish as much. For the time being I really enjoy it but I’m also aware of the dangers of burn out and how it can affect people’s lives. My guess is that you’re one of the good ones.

I enjoy doing it but there are some other things that factor in as well other departments around us are understaffed and so we get the majority of the calls because dispatch knows who will respond the majority is mutual aid though not like it was 20 yrs ago when I started but I have to admit we got a hell of a lot more and better equipment these days I've packed a leaf blower and shovel way to many miles in my day may the good lord watch over ya alway brother!!!

@@kevinsloan3019 I have used a shovel and leaf blower as well. Some guys prefer a rake but a flat blade shovel is my go to for being afoot. May god continue to watch over you as well brother.

Thank you sir, This is a go pro mounted to my hard hat.

I have other Derrick hand videos strung out on my page as well, you might also enjoy them

@@86joelt will do thanks homie

@@robk5745 you’re very welcome

Yes sir, there is a line of them.

Thank you

Depends on the conditions I’m working with, I feel like I probably spend to much time adjusting my nozzle back and forth looking for the sweet spot. In the night video I’m struggling to get water to the fire due to high winds, and distance to fire. If I could have stayed closer to the fire then I could have utilized a fan spray, but I was squirting water 5-15 ft from my nozzle into 25-40mph wind. I would have been wearing most of the water as well as the driver. If you watch closely in the second fire you can see that I change from fan to jet fairly often based on the changing conditions. Thank you for your question, I hope I did a good job answering it.

@@86joelt Yup, thanks for the details! I kinda forgot about compensating for wind effects and it seems grass fires are always in windy conditions. Water does no good on you and not on the fire!

You’re very welcome sir

I think you did as good a job as possible. Your driver IMO was going way too fast. To stop a field fire you gotta get all the fire wet not just much of it.

@@mikehoysler4322 thank you sir, and I agree with what you said, that night was our first time with him as my driver and he was still feeling me out trying to understand what I was asking of him, and with the wind that night we were having a lot of trouble talking back and forth. We have com sets that I failed to utilize that as well.

Thank you 😊

The first fire at night was one that started in north west Oklahoma and was named the Catesby fire, the second fire in the video was the Texas Smoke house creek fire, we started as a task force that morning in Oklahoma conducting controlled back burns and extinguishing hotspots, then by afternoon went into Texas to help neighboring departments with a fire that hadn’t been brought under control yet.

Thank you sir, one of the nice things about this part of the US is how easy it is to work at a moment’s notice with people you’ve never met. We all have similar tactics and the same end goals.

I did 15 yrs in an all Vol Dept. So i know all too well...never fought a big one like that...thank god....but yall did a great job with what yall had.

@@zeeboo2012 Thanks again, it can be a surreal experience for sure!!

Thank you

Thank you

Thank you

Thank you brother.

Thank you

I’m not sure that they wasn’t, seems like everyone pitches in to put out wildfires around here.

@@86joelt they are protected the border for a trump visit..... WOW how awful is trump and Abbott

I don’t guess I know anything about that, however your comments will bring views to my channel so by all means rant away. What else could you tell me about the national guard?

@@86joelt when a state has a disaster they have to declare a state of emergency and it activate the native guard...but the national guard is at the border helping trump and Abbott with photos of them at the border...while the state is burning

I see, I didn’t realize that. I didn’t even know that the whole state was on fire, I thought the fire was mostly in the panhandle of Texas. So how do you know where all of the national guard is and how does that work? And how did you know there was people at the border?

It means a lot to me to hear this. Thank you

You’re very welcome sir and the best of wishes for you

Thank you sir

Thank you for the info :)

Thank you sir

About 93’ on average on length, and this is after drilling the hole, and tripping out to change the drill bit or bottom hole assembly and going back in to continue drilling operations.

Absolutely, pretty easy spot. I was never good enough to work a spot like this but sometimes when I was real tired working floors they’d throw me bone and let me take it easy at the board for awhile.

Thank you sir

Unfortunately I don’t know of anyone who is hiring, the company I was working for is also stacking out rigs. Good luck to you sir.

Thank you sir

@@86joelt Madam, please!!!

@@beverlyreiner-baillargeon6205 my mistake, thank you madam

Heck yes

Oklahoma during the winter

@@86joelt Great. Thank you.
