good catch!! i somehow must have missed it. ive heard several states using inmates to assist with fire fighting on these big brush/mountain fires but never seen one.
I heard those California wild fires get pretty bad, Its amazing just watch so many other running to a fire while so many others are trying to get out hopefully alive
Was it me or was 1767 coming in way too hot? Yes, pun intended. I know those KME's are over-engineered, but making that turn could have been a completely different outcome. Yes, I know the drivers are familiar with how far they can push the envelope on those rigs, but pushing the envelope and arriving on the scene safely are two different functions. I spent a great part of my 14 years in the fire service as an EVO so I understand it. And the siren on the chopper, perfect touch - lol
Oh, you will hear Alma Helitack 106 just fine without the siren. These greenbelt areas on the edges of town burn in the same places what seems like every year, so residents get plenty of chances to know which aircraft sounds like which. Too smoky to see the spotter when I looked, it didn’t sound like our usual 460 from Hollister. Sure enough it turned out to be 504, a different type.
That was an awesome video with all the different wildland stuff responding - especially the Dozer. Also like how the chopper used their siren; was that for you? :D
God I just love the sound of the Huey and it's siren at the end was a nice touch and a excellent way to end the video. Nice catch on the responses did I spot a few old rigs in the video.
People making comments about marking the road, yes with that low boy and dozer going past and having to turn around. Yes the driveway exit should have been marked.
All Fire Investigators are Sworn Peace Officers under 830.2(G) of the California Penal Code and are POST certified. They are trained and certified in accordance with the California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST). CAL FIRE utilizes trained peace officers to enforce state forest and fire laws, and investigate fires. The enforcement responsibilities within the prevention program include fire investigations, criminal and civil case management citations. Fire Investigators have the authority to enforce all State, County, and Local laws and ordinances so they can have blue lights
Somebody early on should have put up some flagging (tape for those who aren't familiar) at the place to turn off the highway! Not just a little flagging, but a ton.
Its only one BC per Battalion that consists of 2-3 stations with 3-4 engines and a dozer or other apparatus depending on the unit and contracts with their county. I don’t see that they have too much given that CAL Fire is a department of over 3,000 firefighters
Man what a catch!!!! Talk about a work out for those brakes!!!!! Man that dozer was little scary how hard the driver was on those brakes. CalFire should invest in a sign or a road cone. Hell that's what we use in Texas.
How many people suspected the camera guy for setting the fire? When I was a Jr. Auxiliary fire our department had an Jr auxiliary set fire to 7 huge tobacco barns just to see the trucks go by. They caught and cooked him. I think they sent him away to a crazy farm. It took us from 8pm to 10am to extinguish them. He had previously set one ablaze a few days earlier.
The Cal fire needs some update on flashing lights as many of the lights are not to easy to see in the daylight. But it’s not an excuse not to get the fuck out of the way when the sirens are blaring and the lights are flashing.
I like how it takes 200 guys, 50 trucks and a chopper the same amount of time in California to do the same thing as two small small volunteer departments with brush trucks in the Midwest. No wonder they have such an inflated deficit
@@maxmcgregor7609 if only I was a volly firefighter. I'm a medic. We had a 750 acre fire here 2 days ago that had a total of 33 guys from 4 departments and it took them 3 hours from ignition to mop up with 2 tankers and 9 trucks.
Was that a dep of corrections firetruck? Since when do you force prisoners to work at a hazardous profession as fighting fires? Sounds like modern slavery.
![CALFIRE Fire Engines and Crews Responding to & Fighting a Wildfire! [ON SCENE]](/img/1.gif)
That U-Haul at the beginning ... don't know if they were inbound or outbound, but what a memorable moving day! "Pack faster, honey."
When everyone else goes the wrong way: No worries, do a U-turn!
When the Dozer transport goes the wrong way: F***!
Huiv
Anyone notice the dept of corrections rig? Super cool
good catch!! i somehow must have missed it. ive heard several states using inmates to assist with fire fighting on these big brush/mountain fires but never seen one.
Yea its nice having that resource but it kills us small crews when we can't get all of us out
That's why I hate Cali fire sometimes
Someone forgot to put up the “fire road” sign
Heavy braking at its best!
Didn't occur to one of them to put someone on point or lay some cones out so they'd all stop missing the turn?
They were probably setting up two different way of attacking the fire
Great job you guys
I’m sorry but did that helicopter have a siren?
I thank all should. When I found out they don’t I was like what. It is rare to see and here I know right!
Sac Metro Copter 1 has a siren warning when it drops water.
A siren and a penis
I thought it was just me. 🤣🤣
It’s a good thing too because of how quiet hueys are. 😂🤣

Their my
Hero's
I worked some of those fire. One of them being the Day fire. It's can get pretty sketchy quick.
and this is a comparably tiny fire, imagine all this but the size of new york city.
Awesome catches mate! Loved how the chopper whooped the siren for you lol

Is 1767 the tender right after the dozer?
1767 was the brushrig that had to turn around

Adrian orozco18 no it wasn’t
MikeT-TheRetiredColonel they were fine at that speed

You would think that someone would stand there and point out the driveway to them, lol.
Nice ending, too!!
Those lifted rigs are crazy those drivers are talented to not flip them
That was awesome, specially the helicopter sounding the siren
Everybody's gangster until the Dozer shows up
God I just love the sound of the Huey and it's siren at the end was a nice touch and a excellent way to end the video. Nice catch on the responses did I spot a few old rigs in the video.
Great video, interesting to see a fire ute with blue lights, is that part police too?
Yes. CAL FIRE has sworn peace officers that enforce state forest and fire laws as well as investigate fires.
J
A little late on the horn from 3112
Was 2:25 the same Chief?
Awesome video man keep up the good work!!
Anyone know what kind of siren is in the first apparatus?
Does anyone know what kind of siren on CalFire Dozer.
People making comments about marking the road, yes with that low boy and dozer going past and having to turn around. Yes the driveway exit should have been marked.
What's with the CalFire pickup have red and blue lights?

@@maxhallman1036 I did not know that. That's awesome, thank you for sharing this information.
@@1291ffemt you're welcome
Any clue what Davey Tree was doing?
Somebody early on should have put up some flagging (tape for those who aren't familiar) at the place to turn off the highway! Not just a little flagging, but a ton.
Lol how many missed turns 🤣 Nice footage.
Of what good are the pick up trucks, or the helicopter that didn't bring much water to the scene.
The pickups are bc's (leaders of a certain number of engines)
Iv'e heard it said many times that CALfire is overloaded with Battalion Chiefs. I'm not stating, just asking....Your thoughts?
Its only one BC per Battalion that consists of 2-3 stations with 3-4 engines and a dozer or other apparatus depending on the unit and contracts with their county. I don’t see that they have too much given that CAL Fire is a department of over 3,000 firefighters
Beautiful, some fire engines went wrong way
2:48 how high do they need there front fenders
These trucks are for offloading for a reason
Man what a catch!!!! Talk about a work out for those brakes!!!!! Man that dozer was little scary how hard the driver was on those brakes. CalFire should invest in a sign or a road cone. Hell that's what we use in Texas.
I really like ur videos keep up the good work I hope. You have a good day
Never thought I'd see an old S-Line international.
That was an awesome last scene
The end gave me a huge BONER! I have never knew choppers in the fire service were equiped with a SIREN!
ikr same
NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
Lord, United States are awesome! 🤩🤩🤩
Nice to see them bringing in the inmates to do something worthwhile with their time in prison.
Gotta love the Huey
all those units and no one stopped to flag the access point...no my job at its best.
Helicopter pilot gave the cameraman a little siren toot while taking off
The must have stock in Navistar/International

Holy shit, a helicopter with a siren?
4:14 Oh crap. I gotta turn this thing around.
Surprised to the the ole S-Line Internationals around still, mind u obviously working well still
No concerns about the horses huh?
Good video catch, thank you. Seemed a few of the guys passed the turnoff. Perhaps slowing down on final approach would help reduce this problem.
hahahaha,,,2:24...fuck i overshot my turn.....
Looks like a couple missed the turn.
I can't wait to be a wildland firefighter!

Awesome

You tell those CalFire boys how it’s done bröther. I bet you’d have put that fire out with the extinguisher in your POV. Tyfys.
