4:10 that man is a true firefighter. Saw that wall of flames coming at him and walked towards it fighting

Smart homeowner, he apparently learned what to do to increase the chances for the house to survive the fire. Sure, it looks horrible when every shrub and tree is cut down around a house, but it's worth it when it saves your home. You can always plant some new vegetation afterwards.

Nothing but respect ✊ to the fire fighters

Hello friends neighbors. I'm from Russia. When I found out that there was a fire in California again, I was in shock. I do not know who is to blame for such a fire, nature or man. I want to express my condolences to those people who were left without a loved one, a dog, a car, a house, and so on. Good luck and peace.

These men and women put their lives on the line all of the time for us in Cali. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

I hope many people have a chance to see this video. This fire acts like it's very angry at those in its path. It wants to literally devour everything possible. The way it jumped that hill was really remarkable. Great camera work and God bless you for showing us what these firefighters are truly experiencing. Best coverage of that aspect of it that I've seen. Prayers for their safety and heart felt gratitude to them for doing the greatest job possible under such horrific circumstances.
