Another fire? I saw the wildfires in FL.

Slowly, more slowly men ! Take your time !

[@brucebaugh47]

Are you part of the fire dept. that you are allowed to be on the front lines of fires? Do you wear turnout gear?

[@dn52n56]

Looks like most of the fire hose team knows what the hell their doing. If the fire isn't directly in front they don't touch. No wonder why its taken so much time to put out

[@ZZ-fw5rf]

and I think a fire helicopter would be faster and would not need so much power and technology

[@EastCountyToday]

Helicopters not available during this incident. It also was not threatening any structures. .

It'll be green after a good rain.

The Cave Beast That Stole Wakanda its east bay California. We don’t get any rain this time of year. Just nice high winds kicking up in the evening. See all the trees blowing in the wind. I live 30 miles west of this and had 5 to 10 mph winds with gusts to 20 and that isn’t even high for us.

[@akilday53]

We won't see rain here until late October, maybe November.

I see video look like c control burned

[@benjaminsorenson]

If that were to be true the video description would have mentioned that and maybe even provided people who could be doing a controlled burn saying it was. And even if was a controlled burned local fire department would have been notified a burn is going on so in case they get 911 calls in the area of the controlled burn they won't be wasting resources by responding to a controlled burn unless they are called out to it by the people doing the burn.
