Independent wildfire and water-related reporting.
Host Zeke Lunder has 25 years experience in wildland fire management and California water issues. During wildfire season we provide UNOFFICIAL updates on major California fires. When fire season calms down, we work on stories about fire, water, and forest management.
Because of the critical state of our forests and watersheds, we believe every Californian needs to learn as much as they can about wildfire, water, and forestry in order to make decisions about where to live, where to invest, who to vote for, how to maintain a property, and when to evacuate. Land management is complicated, but living safely with fire, flooding, and other natural hazards requires the active participation of everyone affected.
If you'd like to connect with us about prefire planning, fire clearance, or water issues in NorCal contact us via email links at the-lookout.org.

Redheaded Blackbelt out of Humboldt is reporting a suspect apprehended for this one
👍 thx for info.
Just another day in Firefornia!
The question in Lake County is why so many fire occurrences in the same area? Near the Hospital, Walmart, Woodland College? It's rough in there, lots of burned over trees, high density of mobile homes, dirt roads, a large concentration of unhoused folks. A lot of trailers, clutter, debris and ratty sheds. Obviously pass thru truck traffic along HWY 53. I can count a dozen fires in recent years in this area. Lake County has suffered more than %50 of the county burned. Than' you for covering this incident.
Please do not add “the unhoused” population when discussing fire occurrences. You have done this before. The real factors are there is no ACTIVE FIREWISE COMMUNITY in Lake County that I see. And there has been ZERO FIRE MITIGATION by County, State and very little by owners.
hows the rain effecting things?
Thanks, from your Chico neighbor.
🤩
The wind is blowing now like crazy and I was thinking about the fire
Thank You Zeke 💦🌲⛑️🙏🏼
What youtube page are you showing at the 5:36 mark?
I live in Reno. Washoe fire still burning.
How can I view the operational fire fighting ZONE map? What site???
The winds and rain have been here for about 2hrs in the Line Fire area..
What up We are actually doing edison line work in barton flats are and we are going to start taking our work truck back down from our yard up there.
Line Fire is giving 2009 Station Fire vibes
Could they have desalination plants and pump converted sea water into systems designed to fight these kinds of fires or even prevent them ?
At this moment rain is falling on the Line Fire.
Best report on the Line Fire on the internet imho! Your use of the maps and your concise narrative helps me to clearly see and understand everything! Thank you very much! New subscriber.👏
How did you get the yellow kml for the rear estate structures?
Coming from a place that does not get these types of fires, I wonder how people sleep at night knowing that they are on the list of people who need to be ready at a moments notice to evacuate. It amazes me how fast these fires can spread, and I can’t imagine how you wouldn’t be a nervous wreck not knowing what will happen. Wishing everyone the best and hoping you all stay safe.
Sounds like lake arrowhead might be a little to the west of the fire path?
So it’s possible it could reach Big Bear City???? Thank you Zeke!!!
Thank you to all firefighters 🚒
Tim Chavez and yourself can be the "The Tonight Show! (Johnny Carson and Ed McMahon) of land use and fire suppression!! Tim se habla espanol? "The Tim and Zeke show"!! Focus on the do and don'ts land owners can do to avoid destructive fires!! I have a lot more ideas!! Both of you guys possess a HUGE knowledge base! Love your channel!! Time to listen to a Beatle song!!
Zeke: You must have stressed the heck out of your "speech' teacher in college!! There's no inflections in your voice!
We have a tanker in San Bernardino but no pilot to fly it. If we did it would have been put out on day 1.
Thank you!!
We can see the smoke in beaumont
Is it near Reno Nevada
Thank you very much👍
Not at all. This fire is about 450 miles south of Reno in Southern California
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Yeah, I live in san bernardino. And this fire looks like it's not calming down whatsoever.
@@breakerprepper thanks bro.
@@breakerprepper thanks bro.

I’m a resident of Running Springs, I left work early to go get my belongings and they wouldn’t let me home. My kids had to pack up our belongings and bring them to me at my parents house in Lake Arrowhead. This is devastating and we all need to pray for our fire fighters who are working around the clock to keep our homes protected🙏🙏
All the very best dear. I’m Praying for you. At the end of the day it’s just stuff, nothing you cannot replace, thank goodness you and your family are safe now. Easier said than down I know. I live right next to a river - on the stop bank and in 20 years we get flooding and evacuations but that isn’t as scary as the treat of fire. Can’t imagine what you’re going through. Big hugs to you ❤❤🇳🇿🐝❤️🌈✌️🌍💙
Prayers for you, your family, friends and all residents of Running Springs. In addition to everyone fighting on the fire line and in support assignments
Hope all goes well stay safe🙏🏽❤️
Almost lost our cabin in cedarpines park during the terrible "old fire" back in 2003...missed us by 100 yards. Have since sold it...fire threat just too much. Brings me right back to 2003 watching this. Prayers to all up there!
I saw your comment on a news video lol
it grew like 10k acres over night
Great video, thank you
I just looked at the qtac site. Very nice equipment. When I started with the Forest Service in the late 1970's, the district had a couple of 4x4 pickup trucks with slip-in units ready to go in the parking lot. Any employee in any discipline with the basic 32 red card was on call during fire season. We could and did respond to lightning busts and abandoned camp fires very quickly and effectively. There was bigger equipment available if needed, but very often the small, nimble units, with a few people, got the little fires out fast. Then all that went away and along came these monstrous expensive specialized and complicated fire trucks. These new trucks were 'way too big to go places the smaller pickups handled with ease. Special training was needed to practically even ride around in one, much less operate the pumps and so on. Most regular employees no longer went on fires. I always thought that was a giant leap backwards, and a big loss in basic functionality. The success of qtac in making the small slip-in units shows there is a place for this type of equipment.
Thank you for making this video it is very helpful especially the visual 3d with map overlays. Keep doing great work!
Thanks! Really liked the info showing where past fires were at. Super cool! This gives us a lot of info on burn potential.
We used to call it logging.
Thanks for this, much more informative than the news, much appreciated.
Thanks Zeke.
Dope channel! I always use it
You don't suppose developers have built just too many houses in Southern California ?
Do they know how it started? If it's a man made fire they better get decades in prison. There are too many hurting & stressing people, too much destruction of the forest & the wild animals that are in or near the fire are in trouble.
My grandparents live in running springs I hope there home will be ok they left 2 cats behind they couldn't get them one an outdoor cat and a indoor cat there's also people still in running springs that we are in contract with
Omg! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Excellent coverage, better than any news station.
@ntesla100 news is fake bro don't ever belive a word the news says
Thank you for posting this! We are in Lake Arrowhead and are under evacuation watch. Really hoping some thunderstorms help Running Springs ❤️
We have a cabin on arrowbear drive, how is things up there?
@@kanaplays arrowhead is under evacuation
Your channel showed up in my feed because I made inquiries about the Line fire which I live near ( I'm in N. San Bernardino). I want to thank you for all the info on the fire . You showed a valuable and unique perspective that I could not find anywhere else and really helped me to understand the characteristics of this fire, so I subscribed. In answer to your viewer's question about the humidity. I have lived in this area for over 30 yrs. and this is typical of our low humidity for this time of year with Sept. and Oct. being usually our driest months.
That’s not a scientific response. Prove me wrong brother! I don’t drink Kool aid.
Valuable info., thank you.
I just moved to Redlands! Holy Mackerel!!! I've been watching everything from my front windows. Since Wednesday night when it all began. I been watching different fire trucks from different cities flying by, some super monster trucks, bull dosers, giant water tanks trucks! Pray for all the people and families, and animals!!especially for Our Fire Fighters‼️🙏💙💙💙 This a Monsterous fire! The winds don't help.
@@roxannegarcia2892 you moved to the wrong city. I've lived here my whole life & in the last few years I've been wanting out.
Yikes, know the area, lived further north up the PCH in Cambria...be safe. Friends in the Santa Cruz Mtns lost their home a couple years back in Bonnie Doon.
