[Killoffire23]

How about we stop bragging about who has the largest wildfires? It's like bragging about

Who has the largest dump that wont flush down the toilet.

[MrJosh62]

i wouldn't feel safe standing there

[sunsetreptiles]

ha ha aus doesnt know what fires are. we have fires that go on for six months or more. you guys have nothing to burn.

[sunsetreptiles]

Ha Ha you call this a fire, come to cali ill show you a fire

[xX3movamp1reXx]

@sunsetreptiles forget cali come to aus ill show u what real widlfires can do

[dixievfd55]

On a fire like that one, ten feet from a safety zone or the burn area would be too far away.

[fireAKems]

How far were you from a safety zone? From the angle it looks like you were in the grass/shrubbery. If that wind would've changed, you would've been crispy. I have yet to see any man outrun a running grassfire. I've been a structure/wildland firefighter for 15 years, so I have a fair background in this field (no pun intended).

[mabas21]

About 200 feet to the rear of me was a park, short fresh cut grass, so I did have an escape route. Trust me if that open area wasn't there I would have never been on that side of the fire

[fireAKems]

That to me is still too far away. Did you ever see the video of the shelter deployment of the 7 LA firefighters? They were only 35 feet away from blacktop down below them. The fire turned and they had no chance to do anything but throw out their shelters. It's photo still video with the radio traffic at the same time. Puts things in a sobering prospective.

[SJCESB]

@fireAKems do you know where one could find this video?

[Gerardmon]

Smells like a firebug taking a video of their insanity in action.

[mabas21]

You must be retarded

[instante101]

Agreed. Send the guy out with a bucket of water and a cloth beater.

[likecycle]

that was "out of control"? come on. seemed like a fire-use fire.

[mabas21]

When it goes from comfortable to burning the hair on my head, I consider that out of control!

[likecycle]

true, it's all subjective.

[sasuke12268]

yea your right lol

[tknv311]

I see it that if I cant control the fire by myself, its out of control. Maybe the FD could tame that mother but I sure as hell couldn't.

[nabetse2do]

I am a volunteer firefighter and have been for 11 years. The good job is prevention not combat only

[Chief176]

time to call in a helitack..

[firedude201234]

never stand near a wildfire you fing moron

[mabas21]

Actually it was a small brush fire and I had an empty park behind me with nothing but fresh cut grass if I had to back out in a hurry, retard.

[jskrep]

fire is sketchy as fuck

[ak47wars]

O yess burn burn burn let the fire take all.

[engles94]

its actually does some good for the environment. all except for the smoke. brush fires stimulate regrowth of the plantlife after a fire. some trees out west actually depend on fires to re-germinate. When and if you are near a brush fire, go back three weeks later and see the green foliage that has regrown. I know. I am a volunteer firefighter and have been for 8 years.

[Hilikus44]

cool

even though i dont kile how its ruining nature

its still pretty cool;

haha

[bto4]

no people do this every year to prairies on purpose idk why tho

[D0323]

They actually do it to prevent bigger fires.

[dbenjaminh]

crazy hanging around filming

[Fuunystuff123]

911 911

[sloitz696]

000 dick head

[Pertelot]

nice..too bad I couldn't see any firefighter in action

[mabas21]

Nope, they were on the other side of the fire. It was moving towards me.

[98837]

Why didn't you get the fire fighters over there on ur side if it was coming towards you?

[hahaclub]

dude the firefighters wouldof had to go through the fire

[D0323]

Firefighters are too smart to get in front of a wildfire. Always fight those from the burned side.

[98837]

Yeah that makes more sence hehe. Thanks for answering my question.

[scooz]

well yes usually in most cases, but when the fire is being blown towards a town then they have to get in front and fight it. They also light control fires to waste the fuel.
