INSANE Fire Behavior, FIRENADO, Massive Flames At The Chaparral Fire | Murrieta

You need some kind of photo journalist award for your coverage!! Absolutely amazing

That has to be one of the most terrifying things I've ever seen I've read stories about the fires like this (the Carr Fire for example), but this is so close to the "front", it really gives you a true perspective of how monstrous these fires can be. The hotshots and smokejumpers that handle things like this are the most unsung heroes in the world. The next time you see a firefighter, make sure to thank him; and his brave brothers & sisters for putting their lives on the line everyday.

The guy on the Cat has some Courage.

Your footage is amazing. It really does showcase these brave firefighters. And you

20 years ago I had a professor tell the class that some of the western states were not managing forests in a way to reduce fires, but instead taking a hands off approach. He said then that this would be the outcome. The scary thing is we are now doing this in the east...

Those guys in the choppers and dozers are angels .🙏 thank ALL in the air and on the ground 👍

God have mercy on the livestock too, O and the humans as well, Amen.

Those flames are insane. Prayers for the Firefighters and the people who live in the area.

8:30 Wow the inflow on the ground at the vortex is amazing Wow

9:00 what a shot, with the helicopter in the background

And THIS folks is how these fires spread so fast ( along with uphill terrain and heavy fuel load) once they get so big, they make there own ( unpredictable) winds.

Good luck out there folks. Hope to see you all come back safe and sound.

Just watching this video sends chills up my spine. Could not imagine being right there in the thick of things. Prayers for these brave fire fighters, and all those affected.

My dad was a firefighter apart of all the special response teams like USAR, Swift water, RSAR, etc. People are so blind to what these guys provide for us in sense of safety and security. Without them, there wouldn't be 50% of the people or resources we have today.

pray for those and all firefighters !

That is amazing video that you filmed. The firefighters are unbelievable the keep coming off must be really immense. The fire tornadoes almost looks like pressurized gas on Fire coming out of the ground so intense

Unbelievable! Excellent story telling here! It's like I'm there with you! God bless all that are fighting this fire and, all the people and animals, that are in harm's way! I hope everyone gets out alive! Now that's a hard day's work!

awesome videos showing the power these flames have!!

I was there photographing it, lots of nados. It crested and came down the hill fast

What really terrifies me about these wild fires is their unpredictability and speed. You can be in a seemingly safe location to suddenly running for your life assuming the fire has not enveloped into a crescent around your neighborhood. A friend of mine learned that the hard way up in Fort MacMurray when a third of the city was burned down. People only had minutes to get in their vehicles and leave the city on the only highway out of the city. There was virtually no warning from the Alberta emergency authorities.
