  • The Dixie Fire. This wildfire has now burned over 40,000 acres and is 15% contained. After my first trip to the Dixie Fire it had jumped Highway 70 and ran up Bald Eagle Mountain. The massive column from the wildfire can be seen in the first clip and multiple air-tankers worked throughout the day to slow the spread of the fire before nightfall.

    I live in Scotland, up on the north west coast. I’m always so sad to see how many fires you guys get over in the USA and Canada. Thinking of you all and hoping you guys stay safe x

      Maybe McDonald's should give free meals to encourage the firefighters who spend 15hrs on the line in heavy gear and intolerable heat, instead of turning them away. Jerks.
      I did this forty years ago. You don't get paid enough.

      Many people on the lines if you watched a video or 2 about wildfire tactics u would understand there is dozer line hand line and retardant used in conjunction to try to stop the spread.
      But since u know so much why don't you get out there and do it yourself

    I live near a Air National Guard Base with C-130s flying out of it. They are actually flying over my house as I type this. The C-130 at the beginning of the video sounds completely different from the ones here. Do the fire fighting Hercules have different turboprops than the military variants? Also god bless all the brave Firefighters fighting these fires and everyone affected by them.

    Thank you Pacific Gouge and Extort (PG&E). Started another fire 🔥. How many will you kill this time. The 85 who died in Paradise weren’t enough or the fire near Santa Rosa killed 22 and burned 5600 homes or the gas explosion in the Bay Area a few years ago that blew the street up injuring and killing people. How many have to die due to your negligence.

      State required PG&E to use 35% to fund green energy, they took money from maintenance to pay for green tech and made California less green. Yes PG&E have fault but so due the politicians and voters who made PG&E transfer funds.

    It's a tragedy that peoples homes are in harm's way, but judging from all that dead wood in the scenes of the fire trucks proceeding up that logging road, this area needs a good burn. It was overdue.

    Maybe they should employ goat and sheep farmers to run their goats and sheep thru the forest several times a year to eat down the brush.
