- Update: Fire crews were battling a fast-moving blaze in the Simi Valley area. The Easy Fire exploded to nearly 1,000 acres in three hours and threatened the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, among other structures. Sky5 was overhead. More details: on.ktla.com/Gbr9D #EasyFire #SimiValley
Here's what I'm not getting.Theres this thing called a fire tetrahedron.a fire triangle.meaning the 3 elements that create a fire scenario.Heat plus fuel plus oxygen.You take any one of those elements away and no more fire.So how is it that the temperature there is dropping but it's not helping?
The heat you are referring to is only the heat significant enough to induce ignition. Once ignited fire can self sustain as long as that level is maintained. Ambient temperature can influence a fire but that is more directly related to moisture content/ humidity of the air. Hot air tends to be drier which in turn dries the fire load. The temperature could drop 10 degrees and as long as the humidity level stayed the same and the burn/ moisture index stayed the same I guarantee it would still burn just as fierce. Wildfires do “ lie down” at night as any wild land firefighter will tell you but it has more to do with colder air increasing humidity. If air temperature had that much influence-no house or brush would burn in winter which is simply not true. It’s all about moisture, not temps.
It's easy to see just how dry the state is; hard times are coming in America, that's for sure.
Why doesn't government make it rain? We've been able to manipulate the whether for decades.
I live here and saw the fire jumping tierra rejada at target store and it took off.🔥🔥
Can the fire retardant not be administered through crop dusters?? I'm shocked that only the one plane is involved in dropping the chemical...that's weird.
i would like to know how safe that chemical is? Because it would be just like them to say (after everyone gets cancer and mutant babies are born) oops are bad,
They have all types of aircraft that drop Phoschek, from crop dusters to passenger airliners. Generally the entire state is on fire between June and December, so the right tool tends to be the one that's available.
just take a look at those trees in the distance and how much they are blowing from the wind. The wind is what fuels is fire. There's not much that they can do other than dumping a fire retardant chemical or water on top of that the best thing to do was hope that the winds die down and they can control these fires
Wind is controlled.. so-called Climate change. It's all planned & it's so obvious & it was fore told but no one listened. Everyone in high places knew.
Why do I see so little ground transported liquid applied to the fire? nearly all the liquid I see is being transported by air, while perhaps the ground crews are digging lines, unseen, but the trucks do nothing, certainly the water cannons seem idle and the trucks are not rolling to fetch more water, why is that? Why do I not see them applying liquids from trucks? only from aircraft?
The air tanker can drop ( depending on aircraft) from 7200 to 12,000 gallons of retardant or water in a single drop and can place it directly on top of or in front of the fire. A ground based water tender may carry from 1500 to 3,000 gallons and need to navigate difficult terrain for miles to refill. Most wild land trucks carry 500 gallons on board. It is simply too hard to get heavy trucks in to rugged rural areas quickly enough to be effective. Aircraft are immensely more efficient.
@@jtimm3424 Not per budget dollar they aren't! especially when construction contractors can use tankers in the off season to save money and therefore field more of them with any given budget, and by dispersing more of them, have them closer to any potential fire site to begin with. Plus some can carry 6000 with one man, and that man with far less training and life insurance than a pilot. and where tankers can't go, fires can be allowed to burn.
Though I do see some value in packing pumps, fuel and hoses to small water sources on foot or by bulldozer or skidgeon. or even air dropping pumps, but not water.
😀 a 6000 gallon water tender is not going to make it on that terrain. I should probably clarify- air drops are immensely more efficient at delivering suppression directly to a fire. There is not a fire truck that can deliver the amount of water in a single attack that air drops can. That being said/ I do agree that some areas should just be left to burn - it’s actually more responsible in the long term. Fact is - too many people live right up against too much fuel, too many years of overly aggressive fire suppression have occurred and weather has extended the fire season by months. It’s all a mess. I always thought that any new housing in interface areas should be required to have onsite water storage with Fire Department access. Honestly, I don’t know why so many communities in CA don’t require developers to build in fire support🤷♂️
@@jtimm3424 The answer to developer requirements is simple. The alternative is mass homelessness and you will be protecting homeless camps that are totally unregulated like Kowloon (which btw, never burned). I agree that 6000 gallon tankers can only get some places, but highways make good firebreaks and fleets of thousands of such tankers, still budget competitive with aircraft, can saturate 50 yards on both sides of a highway and humidify half a mile downwind. Plus, as you wrote, 1000 gallon tankers, again just needing 1 man each, can go far more places in combinations with the highway heavies and increased use of railroad tankers making every track a firebreak as well.
My point is COST and the sheer number of trucks, and total capacity, that can be fielded for the PRICE of a 10,000 gallon air tanker; enough to be limited by traffic jams, but they are far from such limits now, plus I routinely watch videos of tanker trucks just sitting parked while there crews hike out with hand tools, which is fine for every crew but the driver, but the driver should saturate the area with the cannon and get back on the road to reload, never park the truck. Yes one truck needs to stay to supply the hand hoses, but only one or 2, not 10! the other 8 or 9 should be heading back for more water, and there should be 20 more instead of 1 airplane.
@@jtimm3424 remember you must not compare 1 truck to 1 airplane; you compare 20 million dollars worth of trucks to 20 million dollars worth of airplane; and the trucks can be far older because they don't fall out of the sky if they break down, saving hugely on safety related maintenance, though they can block roads so buying more trucks with maintenance savings has some limits, it is still huge!
And that's in addition to trucks operating in higher winds and more smoke than aircraft can.
The Fire Next Time!!!🔥🔥🔥
"Explodes" "Threatens 1,000's of homes" "Inferno" This has been a dream of all reporters. That is why they make sure all fires, no matter how small, are turned into the lead story and about how many 1,000's of homes are been threatened. Of course they zoom in and make sure the flames are filling the TV screen. Keep everyone glued to the TV with the reporters in their brush jackets near the flames making sure they're in the smoke. Gotta win the award. Get that helicopter pilot to find any flame and turn it into the next panic.
Make it rain!!
No doubt...just shows this is an agenda.
Join and bring 50 friggin planes to put the fire out tell me it wont go out
America can do 100 times better than this
Oh man, this one of the more stupidity laced comment sections I ever read.
I blame California demokraps.
Mug Numps Learn how to spell, then comment. 😩👊🏽
Idiot
Read your bible repent
Aaron Ferguson Why does the bible has to do with stuff? I mean, I get it. I don’t care about your beliefs, but it feels like when I break my bones, the bible has to do with it. 🤨
The Bible speaks of all the signs that occurring now,from koas,famine,violence more so now than before,storms,natural disasters,and government issues with hidden agenda,more worldly distractions that have been considered normal because we’ve grown up in it along with being taught of it.I have researched and research a lot of the Bible and of the world it all are becoming parallel.
