California Wildfire Stories Video Tribute 2007

[cdffirefighter]

to stay down there longer than we were supposed to,it was emotionally hard for all of us but we did every thing in our power to protect property and lives,and i will never forget the amazing hospitality from complete strangers they were amazing ,they provided us with anything they could from food drinks to showers and laundry that was just trly outsanding, if this ever happens again and it will, with out hesitation myself and our striketeam would go back... CDF fire "alco" unit,strike team 7

wow amazing video, i was down there for almost 32 days,when we got there i could see it was bad....and when we were assigned i can't describe the hell and horror that i experianced,and when it came down to it where we just couldn't put out every house fire and property fire,it hit me in the gut hard seeing these people fleeing with what they could grab in under 5 minutes and their pets and especially the kids just broke my heart and choked me up alot,myself and my strike team voulunteerd....

Thanks to all the fire fighters.....you can never pay them enough after you've seen how many homes they need to protect....and sometimes, can't make it on time.

what happend?

was it that soo many high winds caused all this? it was on the news but i just cant remember what happend...

sorry ppl who take this real serious, but what ever happend it looks reall sad...

[braceyoself777]

Its a fohen wind called the Santa Ana's that come from the north west every beginning of spring and beginning of fall. Dry climate's here in So-cal combined with low humidity and high heat cause these fires. A small cigarette butt can start it all.
