    I was a line medic on this fire to the Division North of this incident @ SPIKE/DP46. This was the scariest radio traffic I have ever heard, and being mobilized to the division break for a pre stage in case of major injuries puckered me like no other. The video didn't cover the fact that thunderstorms had moved through earlier in the day, and in fact were influential in this fire. The fire had similar behavior in the days previous around the same time. I'll tell you what witnessing a sustained downhill crown run is the most impressive behavior I have seen in my years. By gods grace and through good training all are safe, and god bless. This area was a mix of industry land and NF. The industry HEQ operators had a burnover also the first or second day of this fire. It was a nightly show for the first few days of this fire as the behavior made consistent runs during the days previous.

    That dozer operator's mental toughness saved their lives, as well as the leadership

    As a career firefighter including wildland I see this as not only essential for firefighters, but priceless to show non-firefighters what it's like when caught by fire and having to deploy fire shelters. These men are incredibly good at relating what happened and how they handled it.

    Hats off to those guys. They're the definition of 'real men'.

    That dozer really saved their lives. The last few passes the dozer made, dug the middle lower and made it possible to get cooler air and allow air flow to pass over them, instead of into them.

    The only reason they're alive is because they could stay calm in a literal life and death situation. Amazing heroism

    Glad these guys made it out alive. Big massive Thank you to the fire fighters and teams who risk their lives to protect us. Stay safe, keep training, be smart, believe in yourselves and come home. I am not a firefighter but because of you have applied to join a SAR team as a volunteer, as my way of paying it forward. Thankyou

    Very good telling from the guys how to behave when you are inside the furnace, don´t panic at any time. Guess that is quite hard.

    Tom saved the lives of the other two. He is a hero. Had he not been their the space may have been to small and they may have deployed their shelters to lste.
