My Pop was the Port Fire Marshall of San Francisco many years ago, and I remember watching a news story with him about a zombie fire once. He explained to me what he thought had been done wrong, and told me that when he ran crews, he would post a man 24hrs a day for a couple days at large fires, because in the 1960s, that was the tech they had.
Good episode. The juxtaposition of your reporting and telling of your own fire experience worked really well. I found it particularly captivating because I live relatively close to where the fire jumped to the east side of Okanagan Lake.
There is a free Kindle e-book called "Shard," about a coal seam fire city, almost abandoned in the Catskills. And zombies ensue. No spoilers. It was a quick read, and pretty good. Reminds one of King, or when King was ripping off other writers (See also, "Little Brothers" compared to "Pet Semetary").
Side note: I would love a look at your family tree. The more varied, for people like me, the more interesting. I would love to talk genealogy with you.
So if we know that controlled burns is good for the environment and lessens the effects of major extremely hot fires why don't we do them more often? Especially during the wetter seasons where the fires are less likely to become an out of control forest fire?
Californian here. Budget is some of it, a lack of foresight/care is another. Indigenous people around here performed controlled fires until assimilation/murder caused them to stop. Settlers and the like never learned this since wildfires of this magnitude weren't part of the norm where they were from. Take what I've said with a grain of salt - this is all bits and pieces I've picked up from living here for 30+ years, so I have no direct sources I can cite at this time. And as always, what I cited is only a small fraction of the issue.
I wish you had told the whole story and then done all tge facts. The back and forth is super distracting. But that's just my opinion. I see that others really enjoyed it.

After years of making consumer drone reviews it’s nice to see them used practically in the field.
We had the same thought!

Thanks for watching!

Awesome content, done by a very beautiful person!
Thank you 🙏.
Have you seen any other interesting tech used to fight natural disasters we should look more into?

You might be onto something here.

Thanks for the feedback. We'll take that into consideration for future episodes.
