bushfires like this are scary, i know im a rural in an australian briagde. what happened in this video was what we call the deadman zone, the wind changed direction on the flank of the fire to which they were heading, they were lucky to get out. Triplereiki, as a rural i get questions like this all the time, as long as there is no shubbery or leaves in your gutters etc, staying inside your house is best, if the area around your house is clean it means its defendable. metal gets hot odnt use it

Best thing you can do if you are stuck in a wild fire and have no way out is to ride it out in your house. Sounds crazy right? But that is what we do as firefighters if we are protecting a house and have no where else to go, we seek shelter in the house. The brush outside will burn alot faster than the structure will so all you have to do is wait for the flame front to pass, then come out of the house. Hope this helps.

I was on a large fire back in the early 80's in Wisconsin and Minnesota...they don't get alot of fires because the weather make up is alot different than out west...I have been on more fires out west than in my own region in 33 years.The longer you are in this business, the more places you will go to fight fire!..including other countries...Out west definately has the bigger fires..alot dryer!!..Be safe and fight nice!!!

First of all, Bless You firefighters.I live in hills, alot oak trees. Would like wildfire survival tip if no other way out. On my prop large area w/out trees, low dry grass. There, is 2' deep area (never completed digging for pond). Any chance for survival if we lay in ground depression & use sheet metal as protect covering? Any tips appreciated. Scary waking up at night & possibly discovering a large fire out of control, high winds, and no where to go. Thank you in advance, and bless you.

There a lot of shot crews and type 2 IA crews in California. Local type 2 crews see a lot of good action out here too. |
