This video was shot as the massive fire front roared through Hidden Hills
Estates in Upper Yorba Linda earlier today. Believe it or not there were looky-loos throughout the area as this fire approached; we tried to warn them they only had a few moments, but when this thing hit, the race to get the out was on.
There was an obvious lack of resources available which no doubt contributed to all these multi-million dollar homes going up. There just weren’t enough engines in the area to make a difference. Also, water pressure in the region was pathetically low. The firefighters with me as the front roared through were PRIVATE contracted folks, hired by the folks who owned the massive home we were alongside. They were the only equipment we saw up there for about 40 minutes after the front went through. By then it was too late for many other homes.
This footage was shot in the thick of it all – not down at the bottom of the hill with a cellphone cam! This footage is not for any rebroadcast without prior contact with/consent of the poster!

woah…this is intense. i still remember when i was going to my apartment in fullerton i saw the fire in the background and ashes everywhere. good thing it was contained quickly enough and that it didn’t reach my place. good job to the fire fighters!!

fire fighters …
fire fighters departments have there own film crews that film fires. they capture mistakes and use the footage as a learning curve. many of the camera men and wemon are very knolegable on fighting fires. in many cases they do help helping catch spot fires and them some. i was a USFS firefighter once befor and seen the fotage they show us in training.

I refuse to …
I refuse to recognize Barack Hussein Obama as President of the United States of America because he is not a natural born citizen and therefore uneligible according to the U.S. Constitution. The U.S. Supreme Court refuses to even discuss the many lawsuits recently filed by Philip J. Berg, Alan Keyes and many others. The media refuses to discuss it. Just watch some of the videos on my page. If you agree that the U.S. Supreme court should hear the facts and make a ruling then “Friend Us” hj

So before you want to make a smart comment put the KRISPY KREME down, get off your fat ass, and come visit a house. I’m assuming you’ve never heard of city 9’s. Go visit that house and the guys what they do all day long. Better yet go ask the boys at Cal-Fire down in the oc area
