Climate change caught on camera

When firefighters intentionally start a controlled fire to create a barrier and stop the spread of a larger wildfire, it is commonly referred to as a "burnout operation" or simply "burnout." This technique is used strategically to eliminate fuel sources and create a buffer zone, preventing the main fire from advancing further.

It’s called a firebreak David don’t be silly

Surprised this hasn’t been community noted yet. It’s fairly common practice to have controlled burns to stop the spread of the larger fire. I’m not saying I know that’s what this specific video is, but it would make sense

I really hope this is a control burn and not what some are saying it is.

This is a helitorch and is an industry standard practice to conduct controlled burns, firing operations, and “box in” existing fires. #wildfire The amount of absolutely ridiculous posts manipulating well known practices in the wildfire world is incredible. I report on wildfire, I suggest learning a bit.

Fuck does this make you look stupid.

Or it could be firefighters making a fire break to keep fire from spreading. That is a possibility.

Setting backfires is a useful tool to stop fires

Back fire to make a wall so the main fire doesn’t spread further.
