    It's madness how quickly the weather changes in this modern day. From blizzard to brush fire.

    in 1979 my department responded to a fire in NE Ohio just east of Akron when lightning struck a chain link fence surrounding a used tire dump covering several acres. The grass was ignited all around the fence which spread to the tires....took two days to put it out...we set up monitors and just kept pumping the water on it

    This is like what is happening in my country Australia currently a evac fire is in the mountains and has burnt around 1.5k hectares and 12k acres and is super close to houses but lucky that you donated us the new fire helicopter recently because we needed that
    Side note, The new heli is above my house right now!

    Interesting that when Littleton and south metro merged they didn’t form a fire protection district, especially because of how many VFDs were in the coverage area before the merge.

    • @SouthMetroFireRescuePIO
      @SouthMetroFireRescuePIO  Před 2 lety

      During recent mergers an authority model was used until the community voted in favor of becoming part of South Metro Fire Rescue Fire Protection District. Today the entire coverage area is under a protection district model overseen by an elected board of directors.

  • @cmcer1995

    Weird for sure! With all the problems with Wildfires you would think people would be very careful while out enjoying nature. Obviously though a lot of people take nature for granted and then we have extensive loss of our wonderful forests. Just like the Waldo Canyon Fire was such a disaster and two people ended up losing their lives. Unfortunately, the person s) responsible were never identified. I observed that fire from the East side of the Springs late that morning as just a wisp of smoke. It was a real tragedy when Flying W Ranch went up. Those electrical wires sparking in the water was unusual.
