@__josh Yep, those are crews backburning... I have not been listening to the stream, but they do that normally. You can see the guy on the left with a "drip torch". They light fires in areas to eat up the fuel ahead of the main fire and starve it of places to go.

In response to this post@ai6yr Got it. I’ve heard of back burning on woodland fires, but I’ve never seen it in an urban setting before. TIL.
@__josh We live in interesting times... very interesting times. I never thought we'd see a massive urban conflagration destroying a modern Los Angeles city versus one in the hills, yet, here we are.

In response to this post@ai6yr @__josh Oooh, I can't fucking WAIT for the conspiracy theories like "this footage PROVES California set these fires ON PURPOSE in order to STEAL RELIEF FUNDS for the BIDEN CRIME FAMILY!"
@Legit_Spaghetti @__josh Sigh, don't give them ideas. But, yeah. I am blocking out that disaster.
