~Sorry guys, for some reason it will not let me post replies to your comments, it keeps saying error. The helmet cam was from Firevideo.net they do not make it anymore, but the newer models are even better. I recently purchased a GoPor Hero HD 2 and am excited to use it. I hope to get another helmet cam soon, as my original one got a little to hot :/
Thanks for watching
July 2011 Grass fire burned nearly 45 acres, several vehicles, multiple outbuildings, and thousands of tires. Not to mention the concrete block landmines stretched across the pasture. 108* temps, 17% humidity, Thick black toxic smoke and wind made this fire stand out and be a little more difficult than "normal". The "liveable" structure was saved. Fire started by Cutting torch under a burn ban. Enjoy

whats strange is that i was actually able to smell smoke while watching this vidoe, i think someone was burning weeds outside.

[dudclone]

@SuperLaw911 I probably still have smoke particles in my nose from that day. its crazy when your a firefighter, you learn to love the smell of smoke

[TimbaWolf65]

I have to congratulate you on that work, that was a pretty large fire, and it sounds like those weren't the most favorable conditions. Anyway keep up the good work.

[dudclone]

@TimbaWolf65 It was a wild day, and there will be plenty more of those this summer im sure. summer of 2011, we were out nearly every day, whether it be our fire, helping other departments in our county, or deploying our taskforce, there were LOTS of fires of this extent and worse.

i am on a volunteer dept. in carter county, where are you on at? i was wandering how you got such great video, i am intrested in geting a camera to put on my wildland helmet but dont know where to get one or what kind, i thought you might have some tips

[dudclone]

@lmmarsha Pontotoc county, got the camera from firevideo(dot)net, i have a new HD hero gopro HD 2 that I am excited on using this summer mounted on the trucks, maybe wont be as shaky

[JameKugelmann]

Wow what a wonderful video. Makes me wonder how you firefighters cope with this!!! Good job and keep it up!

[dudclone]

@SuperLaw911 Yes it was a helmet cam from firevideo(dot)net. I have a new gopro hero HD 2 im excited about using very soon.

@coastie14 Not as quick as one would think. If done right, 300 gallons can go along way. I believe we only filled that truck up a few times. Knowing when you need backup, and call for it, really helps out too.

[dudclone]

@ruger1022dude Yes, we are one in 14 volunteer department in our county, with one paid dept

[ruger1022dude]

Is this a volenteer FD?

[coastie14]

How long does it take to run out of water on the brush rigs?
