Nice to see Super Strike Teams staged outside of Highland Ranch Resort! Is there any chance you can drive down CA-172 to Mill Creek and video the drive, especially around Summit Springs/Camp Tehama and Ash Lane & CA-172 in Mill Creek?
I find it interesting the similarities between the Camp & Park fires. They were doing a great job getting them under control and good containment. Then all hell broke loose, again, and they lost it, just like what is happening now. Then they lost the entire town of Greenville. No blame, just noticing similarities.
It’s the weather. Heat, atmospheric instability (colder air aloft), and especially surface wind all drive extreme fire behavior. Once raging, wildfires generate and accentuate surface winds in a positive feedback and fire behavior intensifies further. Extreme fire behavior also increases incidence of spot fires developing well outside of the fire perimeter and beyond successful clearing/backburning operations. When weather conditions ease (lower winds, subsidence) generally fire behavior does too. Crews can move in and actually fight the fire under those conditions. When weather promotes more extreme fire spread and intensity, crews just have to get out of the way and restart the process of clearing fuels and back-burning further ahead of the fire’s front.
@@nopetrialmod6190 that would be a rotating column.only times I've heard "whirls" in wildland firefighting was describing "cinder whirls" that are the small,hot cinders getting caught up in the wind coming off the main fire or column.
Yes! You can say that 1 person created this situation, but it was an isolated incident Vs. other means of a Wildfire to start? I think for the most part that such large incidents are occurring more frequently and larger, that FIRE TACTICS need to be investigated and changed. 1 match vs. 1 auto the results remain the same for which a Wildfire occurs. But it's the Response and Tactics which inevitably halt these rampaging fires. Old school methods are just that, OLD SCHOOL.
Agree. This fire had witnesses when it started, not a lightning bolt in a distant canyon. Why wasn’t there a full on response at the start. The build up of equipment and crews seemed slow. Same slow response to fire that burned almost to Tahoe. Weed and Shasta residents who experienced fires in the last few years were critical about CalFire and Forest Service fire fighting response. There must be an investigation of how this fire went to 45k acres overnight. If there was an audit of the Sierra fire, I never saw it. Recently viewed miles of scorched land along Hwy 89. More of Lassen Natl Forest has burned. Soon there will be nothing left.
It’s heartbreaking the amount of damage and sorrow one man can cause!
God be with the people and animals in its path. Gos Bless and keep our firefighters safe.
Who is Gos?
heart wrenching 🥺😢😢
All because of one sociopath...

Greenville was the Dixie Fire.
@@chrishylton3080 Yes, my bad, got wrong name. They are running together these days.
@@skipmiller8309 No worries brother! It has become a terrible memory test.

What 2 mountain towns?????
I think that's called a column,not a whirl.
its rotating i think thats why its a whirl

Fires clean up thick forests, too much slash and careless people. Fires in Colorado all probably human caused.
Paid to hold up the truck..
Don't Knock it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What A AASSSS
Fires are natural occurrences that help the woods.
Yea except when it's arson... like this one
@@MRFLAPPYTREEOr, when we've put every fire out for 80 + years and then have these mega fires instead of small natural ones.
@inthedarkwoods2022 people die all the time, it's natural why do we waste time investigating murder.
