    One of the most effective ways to fight fire is by lighting a back fire. With so many people moving into forested lands, firefighters have to work harder, in more dangerous situations to save both the forest and their homes. I think there should be laws that basically say in case of forest fires, we will protect neither you, nor your home.

    at 0:42..... the fire is in a stump it looks like, but close to the ground with nothing else around it burnt.... how does that happen? I am glad you survived!
