I remember the Angeles Crest fire in 1959 in the same area. It scared me to death and came very close to our house on Day St in Tujunga. As kids, we hiked to the top of Mt. Lukens in the vid many times. I feel sorry for the people who lost homes and would like to waterboard the losers who started this fire.
Is this fire called a "station fire" for a reason or is it the ignorant media again picking up on a new way to say things and then beating it to death like "on the ground" Pleas someone explain station fire. Was there a station there or?
You know, I threw this together in a hurry thinking I'd add music later. Well, now I have the music but discovered that YouTube's "AudioSwap" function only works for THEIR options and doesn't permit uploading my own new track. But I agree, music would have been a good thing!
If the environmentalists would allow people to rid the forests of dead wood with controlled fires then these larger out of control fires would not be threatenings major cities.
It's got nothing to do with environmentalists. What really needs to be gotten rid of are the people who build their houses in these areas, and the speculative real estate developers that make it all possible.
If there were no houses there the fires could be left to run their natural course, reducing the intensity of the next fire. But as long as there are buildings and people there, the fires must be extinguished as fast as possible. That sets these areas up for a bigger disaster next time.
yup, and as we fight fires to save homes we fuel even larger fires to start. the lack of fires results in overcrowded brush, such as the fire seen in this video. the winds are calm but because of the high amounts of fuel, the fire burst out of control.
starting at 0:28 did something blow up ? look at the smoke and yeah California forest fires are big. Even here in small country like Latvia ( other side of the world - in EU ) I saw this in news.
Awesome video!! Wow...so thats what has been making our sunsets here in Colorado blood red. Yesterday the smoke haze was so bad that we couldn't even see the mountains which Denver sits right at the base of.
Instead of the billions of dollars used to help Iraq (who could use that money against us in the future like others have in the past) we could have used those billions & the military to fix this immediately.
This kind of fire is dangerous for not just due to the wind but it also creates pyrocumulus and pyrocumulonimbus clouds (this video is a great example) that produces lightning which can cause more spots of fire.
I know this is a bad thing but I look at the bright side of this situation. Because of the smoke I'm getting a bunch of days off school and the sky looks beautiful.
I live in Temecula, one of the farthest south-suburb cities from Los Angeles and we had a structure fire. Even though we had a fire and LA is near us, it's not smokey.
All we see is smog. And Temecula is a city built on hills about 200-400ft high idk but it's like a smoggy summer to me.
i live right below the mountains near allen/ new york in pasadena and this smoke/ash is killing me.. this video looks close to home, where was this shot at?
my point is, they should be deployed en masse as soon as possible. not a few aircraft a day or more later, but tens of them hours later under a centralized air traffic controller, strafing the fire one after the other.
I live in Hollywood and I can clearly see the thick smoke from my house. Looks like there was a giant explosion in the mountains. In addition, ashes were present all over my car for a couple of days.
how did california survive before firefighters were here? Anyways, thank God I live in Cerritos, CA. I can see smoke in the distance and the sun is orange sometimes, but not too bad like last year. Best wishes to those who are affected strongly by the fires
Wow that sucks. My grandfather died that day. It's also 4 years after hurricane Katrina, which took my grandfather's home and many of his friends and families.
Its called a Pyrocumulus cloud ... DUH.. it could either drop rain and put out the fire that created it in the first place, or it can create thunderstorms and create more potential fires
If you have any Plans to come to L.A..Cancel them its way to hot over Here..I hope the fire Burns Out but they are saying its going to Last 2 more Weeks.They are calling it the perfect storm
its pollution.... theres not enough regulations on pollution. The pollution only effects populated areas because theres a lot of people using pollutants. The problem isnt over population. Its just a need for clean burning fuels. There is no such thing as global warming. It's almost impossible for us to affect the earths natural cycle. It's easy for congress to step in and ban gasoline powered cars and replace them with hydrogen. You can change power plants to use hydrogen as well.
i live in denver colorado and the forecast for this whole week is basically hazy and cloudy..today(september 1st) was probably the haziest day i have ever seen in my life cuz of the smoke traveling all the way over here...the whole sky was a huge haze and it made the sun shine really wierd too...it was very odd
Yes, I live in denver too...the sun was really trippy and bright orange this evening. I was so surprised to find out that the smoke has traveled all the way here from Cali. It's crazy. I can't imagine what they are going through over there.
For today's weather forcast, we will be having some heavy ash fall throughout the day and night along with a high of 110 degrees and a low of 83 degrees. Good luck, have fun.
its cool how you can see the condensation level sitting right above the fire. the warm air is pushing the other air up and its condensing making the other clouds close to the right
i saw it in panaromic view from monterey park. some spots (even on street level) give the largest view from the bottom of the mountain to the top. i took like 500 pictures!
Technically there is, but its all part of the Earth's sequence of warming and cooling.
Maybe humans are adding a little bit to it but just think how hot it was back when the dinosaurs were around. Humanity isn't causing global warming, I don't think we suck that bad.
you are right there is, but please people do remember the earth has been hotter then this before, a lot hotter, we as people are only putting small amounts or co2 in the air. earth has a natural reserve of frozen co2, in the deepest parts of the ocean. if that starts milting then there is going to be catastrophic damage. But dont worry, people green is not the answer right now, maybe in a few years ie 100 years. and there is more oil then you think, resign why oil keeps going up, greed
last night i was over at Pierce College and didnt relize how bad this fire is.even tho I live in sfv i could see the red flames from the mountain .. hope this wasnt some fire started by someone..
Who ever thinks this was caused by global warming is stupid. Of course it's gonna get hot in summer especially at the end of August and September. So far its been a below average/normal summer and thats also why I don't belive in climate change. Some years we suffer a drought and other years we get plenty of rain and thats just how California is.
Global warming means scare the heck out of the people so that we can tax the bejeebers out of the energy companies. Tou are the ones paying for it anyway.
Yeah have to see it to believe it. Thank fully those fires are mostly behind the hills surrounding the valley, so most of that smoke wasn't blown into the city. It would be catastrophic it does jump to the other side.
I can't say the same for the Pasadena area, I haven't been around there so far.
Best wishes to everyone here in LA and those affected by the fires south east of here.
Plants in that area have a special substance in their organism (body) that is highly flammable. When extreme temperatures hit, these plants can spontaneously flame. As you already know, once one little spark starts, winds kick in and spread the fire.
But still, even with this knowledge, it is possible that the fire was started by one match (cigarette smoking) :(
when are they going to get serious about knocking out these fires? they've got guard and reserve heavy lift aircraft all over the place that could be fitted for water/retardant dropping dual use. they could put it out in no time if they hammered it non-stop.
clearly you dont live in california. its not as easy as using " heavy aircraft". we have over 6,500 firefighters, helicopters and planes helping to put out the fire. you cant just put it out in no time.
actually, i have lived in california over fifty years. given the wealth and resources of this state, there is no excuse for the tiny and motley third world looking air force we use to fight fires. this is certainly no criticism of those doing the job, just a statement that we can do far better if we would apply our resources.
"given the wealth and resources of this state, ". No disrespect hiodr; however, I often hear that California is bankrupt and cashless. Of course, how can this be? Hollywood, cutting edge science projects etc.
As an outsider, I often imagine Californians as living in ET, the film, style homes or living by the sea.
that the state's resources are squandered, pilfered, etc., is perhaps a factor. on the other hand, according to walter burien on website CAFR1, this state is sitting on about 62 billion it does not report to the public.
I do know that. generally, white smoke coming out of a fire is usually steam as water is hitting it. In regards to the "white mushroom" plume in this film, is this the case on what happened there?
... and from a totally pragmatic point of view, quite an interesting video. Stay safe!
The thing is, when it burns houses, its burning metals/plastic/rubber etc... dumping that into our atmosphere.
So it is still us.. its just we didn't start the fire. Its always been burnin since the world's been turnin. We didn't start the fire we didn't ignite but we try to fight it!
Great video..

fires r actually good for the enviroment. it sounds weird but the smoke actually filters out bad material

Yeah have to see it to believe it. Thank fully those fires are mostly behind the hills surrounding the valley, so most of that smoke wasn't blown into the city. It would be catastrophic it does jump to the other side.
I can't say the same for the Pasadena area, I haven't been around there so far.
Best wishes to everyone here in LA and those affected by the fires south east of here.

Plants in that area have a special substance in their organism (body) that is highly flammable. When extreme temperatures hit, these plants can spontaneously flame. As you already know, once one little spark starts, winds kick in and spread the fire.
But still, even with this knowledge, it is possible that the fire was started by one match (cigarette smoking) :(

Why they don't put them out earlier? It all boils down to one or two reasons.
Overtime
Hero worship.
More money for budget.
(Or they can't get the lead out.)

when are they going to get serious about knocking out these fires? they've got guard and reserve heavy lift aircraft all over the place that could be fitted for water/retardant dropping dual use. they could put it out in no time if they hammered it non-stop.

clearly you dont live in california. its not as easy as using " heavy aircraft". we have over 6,500 firefighters, helicopters and planes helping to put out the fire. you cant just put it out in no time.

actually, i have lived in california over fifty years. given the wealth and resources of this state, there is no excuse for the tiny and motley third world looking air force we use to fight fires. this is certainly no criticism of those doing the job, just a statement that we can do far better if we would apply our resources.

"given the wealth and resources of this state, ". No disrespect hiodr; however, I often hear that California is bankrupt and cashless. Of course, how can this be? Hollywood, cutting edge science projects etc.
As an outsider, I often imagine Californians as living in ET, the film, style homes or living by the sea.

that the state's resources are squandered, pilfered, etc., is perhaps a factor. on the other hand, according to walter burien on website CAFR1, this state is sitting on about 62 billion it does not report to the public.

global warmings a myth as soon as it gets hot its cause of global warming then our winters are in the negatives and were having blizzards

I do know that. generally, white smoke coming out of a fire is usually steam as water is hitting it. In regards to the "white mushroom" plume in this film, is this the case on what happened there?
... and from a totally pragmatic point of view, quite an interesting video. Stay safe!

And people are worried about humans polluting the atmosphere!
Only slightly kidding there, I know we dumb a lot of toxins into the atmosphere too, but watching this, I can't help think that way.

The thing is, when it burns houses, its burning metals/plastic/rubber etc... dumping that into our atmosphere.
So it is still us.. its just we didn't start the fire. Its always been burnin since the world's been turnin. We didn't start the fire we didn't ignite but we try to fight it!

In Colorado here, there's smoke covering the sun. Must be pretty windy to get it all the way over here.
