Whoever thinks that firefighters and hot shot crews don't deserve better pay needs to get their hiney out there, carry all the equipment that they do in HOT weather, work long hours with no rest, physically challenging, dirt, sand, wind, worrying about the winds changing, possible burn injuries and death!!

I want to know why , with all the planes in this country , why are there not hundreds of planes equipped with tank systems to drop water and put those fires out in no time - instead of one or two planes , that's useless . Rick Out.
Because it is unbelievably expensive for every borate drop And the Pilots that fly fire are few and far between , they are in a class all their own . It is extremely dangerous ,only adrenalin junkies apply .
You can only get so many planes in there at a time. A few years back two tankers collided mid air in Mendocino County. Dangerous to get too many aircraft airborn at any given time.
@@michealtull9033 We're using military crews on these fires along with CalFire crews. I don't understand why they don't use water and put it out instead of retardent lines that the fire keeps crossing.
Wishing all our firefighters, pilots, ground crews and anybody else involved in protecting Cali from these fires the best of luck. May you all stay safe.
Wow…. And I was thinking of moving there. Been looking all around this area! God Bless these Fire Fighters and First responders! And the folks in that live in these area!✌🏼❤️
It certainly takes a certain person to work these fires---they need to be paid well and have excellent benefits---especially death benefits for their families. Hard, long, back breaking hours----not for the average person!!!!!
God bless all the firefighters !!! Those tanker pilots are on another level, I think they could fly their planes through the eye of a needle !!!! 💯🇺🇸🦅🗽⚔️🔥🔥
I've been praying for all of the west to get the rain we been getting in Alabama because we don't need it.they need to get a good tropical storm like we get to put out all those fires and fill the rivers.
You would think they could get water from the ocean and clean it up to use as drinking water and drop it on the fires and dry areas to prevent it from spreading or go a few states that's flooding and get that water for the fires.we do have the the national guard activate them to help transport water
My uncle lives a couple minutes from the fire right next to Shasta hope his house is still there when he goes back home he came to visit the family in socal few days before the fire started. Prayers to all the fire fighter and the people who live around shasta

I have friends in Yreka. It maybe 20 miles from this but when we had the Riverside fire here in Oregon where I live it traveled 17 miles within hours like by the time it got around 5pm the sky was black and it was burning not far from town. prayers.
It really depends on wind speeds, sometimes in high winds it can move at freeway speeds. Also embers get picked up by the hot air and start smaller fires miles ahead of the moving fire.
Yeah a Shasta Trinity National Forrest Manager screwed up when the lightning strike happened fire started they used 7000 gallons of water to put the fire out they let the crews leave then it flared up and now this is the result
@Cbx Cbx The Park Service closed all of the marinas on the lake. When we went down to the lake to take our boat out of the slip for the day they told us to put it on the trailer because the lake was being closed. This happened the week of 4/13/20.
Cannabis Sativa can be made into food, fuel, fiber, medicine, paper, plastic and housing materials, thereby replacing fossil fuels and ending deforestation, and that is why "Marihuana" was demonized and outlawed in 1937, thus causing climate change today. The US legalized Cannabis Sativa in 1942 to make equipment for the military during World War II. Watch the 1942 USDA film, *Hemp For Victory.* Had Cannabis Sativa remained legal after World War II, climate change would not be happening now. When fields of Cannabis Sativa are used for food, fuel, fiber, medicine, paper, plastic and housing materials again, the use of fossil fuels will diminish and global deforestation will end, and climate change will stop. Watch the 1942 USDA film *Hemp For Victory.* The Federal license to grow hemp that is shown in the video reads, "Producer of Marihuana."
All firemen should have the best gear and then some and be making it least $50 an hour .... And should have our respect ... They risk their lives to have our backs and save us , your lives our hones our pets and wildlife . Greatest Appreciation and Gratitude 💥😎
It is called the Lava fire because of where it started. It was started from lightning in extremely dry brush, not a lava flow. The area where the fire started had a lot of old volcanic rock, hence the name 'Lava'.
Forest Fires are are a natural thing. It gets rid of bug infestations and rotted trees. As the fires burn, the seeds underneath get barried and grow back new trees that are free of disease. It takes years to regrow but it's great for the forests. We need more controlled burns so the fires don't get so big.
Seriously thinking about a giant reusable firefighting wet blanket that can be deployed by four helicopters. If you can't suffocate the fire it's a lot harder. I once put out a brush fire on a hillside with a sheet of plywood so there's something we're not figuring out.
It's sad we cant get a faster response time to lightening fires. And Hotshots deserve so much more pay!!! Its absurd how poorly our politicians are running Ca.
When did the Volcano go off and why is there no reports about it going off? That's kind of weird. Does this mean that The Ring of Fire is about to go nuclear?
The forest service with the state of CA following suit have kept the forests free of fire for 100 years and lots of dry fuels have been building up ever since. Everyone who lives in this area knows it's burning land, including the Native Americans who lived in this area. The land needs fire so they gotta start doing more prescribed burns in California. We just lost 10% of the oldest Sequoia trees in one fire for this very reason.
@@bakotroop5365 and the air quality is amazing with massive out of control forest fires? Wth are you talking about? I have news for you. Prescribed burns and clearing dead trees is a lot less harmful to air quality than this is.
My thoughts go out to you guys...here in Kamloops BC we have a fire that popped up 2 days ago and is already 20,000 hectares because we've had temperatures well over 110°f and we've got 51 of the baddest mother fuckers out there on the ground fighting it

That’s crazy the mt still has snow on while this fire is going
Hardly any snow compared to where it should be right now. It usually is way more white this time of year, those are just the glaciers.
The snow is actually the glacier and the north side c really looked great. Fire is 5 miles away an 9,000 feet lower on a shelf.
Wow…. And I was thinking of moving there. Been looking all around this area! God Bless these Fire Fighters and First responders! And the folks in that live in these area!✌🏼❤️
I can't even imagine how hot it must get 😫
It just a couple thousand fahrenheit increase every couple seconds.
I'm starting to think that California is ground zero for Hell on Earth.
The spring season is amazing but summers in northern CA are brutally hot

Remember Australia last year? What about the floods in SE?...and NE. Shirt happens, its not Biblical!

We can pump oil across oceans, but we can't come up with a way to divert water from states, hit hard by rain, causing flooding.

That's literally not how anything works, nor is it the cause of the fires. Astoundingly ignorant thing to say.

Is all the big fires going to be in Northern California again this year
I have friends in Yreka. It maybe 20 miles from this but when we had the Riverside fire here in Oregon where I live it traveled 17 miles within hours like by the time it got around 5pm the sky was black and it was burning not far from town. prayers.
We need to do more for the people who are in this line of work
This sucks! I have relatives up there and they've been forced to evacuate their farm. They had close calls but this is worse.
Why is it called Lava fire. ?
It is called the Lava fire because it started in the area north of Mt. Shasta where there is previous volcanic rock called the 'Lava Beds'
Anybody have any idea speed of fire...7-8 miles an hour maybe? How horrible...
It really depends on wind speeds, sometimes in high winds it can move at freeway speeds. Also embers get picked up by the hot air and start smaller fires miles ahead of the moving fire.
@@buchanap I'm aware of the embers...jumped across lake Oroville last year...this fire reminds me of camp fire...
From what I’ve seen is it’s moving back up Shasta and hasn’t gotten too horribly far down it. It’s scary! I sure hope everyone stays safe
@@thehunterstruck Pray it blows back on itself... thanks 👍
I’ve been getting pictures from people I know that live in the area from the time it first lit until I saw the last one yesterday!

Interesting timing for something like this
Does anyone know how it got started?
Lightning strike
Yeah a Shasta Trinity National Forrest Manager screwed up when the lightning strike happened fire started they used 7000 gallons of water to put the fire out they let the crews leave then it flared up and now this is the result
Glad we didn’t go to Lake Shasta again this year. We got run off the lake after one day last year.
@Cbx Cbx The Park Service closed all of the marinas on the lake. When we went down to the lake to take our boat out of the slip for the day they told us to put it on the trailer because the lake was being closed. This happened the week of 4/13/20.
@Cbx Cbx They said they were doing it due to the extreme fire danger.

0:57 fire tornado goes flying past the firefighters.
Where’s the 747 and the dc10
Wow. Crews really got on this fast. Looks like just mopping up now. No more air support.
I bet the people there were panicking thinking the Mt. Shasta volcano is spewing lava.
I also can't believe there's still snow up on the peak.
With all the crazy weather events happening one after the other, I wouldn't be surprised if the volcanoes wake up soon.
No, people in the area are used to forest fires. If there was volcanic activity it would be very different.
The fire was NOT started by lava, they name the fires after the location
Most of this is recorded by 97 and Big springs Rd
It's so hot there! Over 100 for months. Sad to see it burn
'
how cause the fire start
My Shasta has Volcanos 🌋
Lava fire 🔥 scary 😟 In the city of “Weed” 😜
😂 no it's not a volcano fire
It is called the Lava fire because of where it started. It was started from lightning in extremely dry brush, not a lava flow. The area where the fire started had a lot of old volcanic rock, hence the name 'Lava'.
California: no you can't build a business here! There's a 130 year old tree!

Did a volcano go off
No
God's speed to the firefighters and wildlife. Yikes!

I guess you could say Weed is about to get LIT
I remember when the town of weed burned and they lost lumber co among others that wasn't all that long ago
My prayers to all of them..
It is a natural phenomenon!
Let them burn out.
Prayers to all my hmong families
Looks like the government is playing God again.
They are paying some of those fire fighters $13.45 an hour?
Um, No....try again a lot higher...

Its a loosing game!!! Stay safe brave folks. We are pulling for ya!
Lava fire: exists

They are smart enough to move to other locations. Plus I'm sure they have caves or areas of shelter in times like this.
Most are safe in their caves and watching the real NEWS!
Again???
Thumbs down? Have any clue how to fight fires?
Seriously thinking about a giant reusable firefighting wet blanket that can be deployed by four helicopters.
If you can't suffocate the fire it's a lot harder.
I once put out a brush fire on a hillside with a sheet of plywood so there's something we're not figuring out.
4 planes ?? Im guessing. Why not 200
World Oxygen levels 18%
Shasta 12%
Brain dead 15% see the plan. Ext ermination
Move boxes and drop pkgs but look at the choice used. ... 1 per. 10 minutes. Squirt squirt
As you said, very pesimistcally guessing. All suffer from this.
We offered to fund fire planes in Napa County but our Board of Supervisor and Cal Fire turned down the offer......
Firefighters should be payed more than nfl nhl nba mlb etc...
Why is it called Lava fire
Mt Shasta is a dormant volcano...fire started by a lightening strike
Fires are named after a road or landmark close to where they started. I believe lava rd is this one
$13 an hour to risk life and limb? Let the lawmakers who set those rates spend a day on the lines. Stay safe gang.
It's sad we cant get a faster response time to lightening fires. And Hotshots deserve so much more pay!!! Its absurd how poorly our politicians are running Ca.
This is so upsetting!!
When did the Volcano go off and why is there no reports about it going off? That's kind of weird. Does this mean that The Ring of Fire is about to go nuclear?
No eruption, just a fire close to mt Shasta
Because we are blowing up explosives In LA.
Because why would they tell us? Of course keeping it from people is their agenda
Trust me, when one or more of these volcanoes wake up, EVERYONE'S gonna be talking about it. 24/7 coverage for weeks. Be ready.
