Hey Aaron, I watch all your videos . I am a highly experienced operator of all dirt moving and grading heavy machines . I work for a company that operates much differently than any you’ve covered . Currently running a D6 XE fully optioned as well as 6T’ s 349’s , 627’s ,A45’s and routinely build 1,100 home 1,300 acre subdivisions. 30-40 acre lakes and ponds . Clearing and improving hunting land . But it’s our company culture that sets us apart . Thank you for showing our toys and keep it up ! Come see us sometime!
Very informative and interesting! We watched the fires on TV and you wonder how such massive destruction can be cleaned up. Really appreciated this video.
I worked on the Dixie fire cleanup for CalRecycle as an inspector monitoring the crews also working alongside Tetratech doing site walks after the crews were done and it was a pretty challenging and rewarding experience. Getting to see the transformation from destruction to a future of having new Clea sites to rebuild was the most rewarding. The aftermath of the devastation is mind-boggling when you first see it in person. That experience will be a highlight in my career. Hopefully I can make it back to Plumas County this summer to see the progress that has been made. Thank you for highlighting this process in fire recovery.
Aaron, thank you so much for your in-depth review of the fire area and yes it's only 24 minutes but much more in depth than what the news coverage has given us, as a California resident but hundreds of miles away from this there's been a lot of questions and concerns about our leadership and what's going on what's being done and it was very refreshing to see your in-depth review and coverage of the area and what's going on as we speak, thanks for the good work and all you do including this project and always enjoy your stuff, have a great day! 😁👍
Thank you for letting us hear the sounds of the machines
My crew was there to help. Greetings from 🇨🇦
This is by far the best explanation of the process it takes start to finish. Awesome!!!
If I may add another human element. In my day that school was known as Thomas A. Edison Elementary. This is just another part of the Eaton fire that hits deep for me. The lower building on the campus featured in this video was known as the Core Building. The admin office was at the north end. There were five classrooms, but it had provisions to close rooms off to make additional rooms. I actually witnessed the building of an identical building in the early '70's over at Burbank Elementary (I went there grades 1-3) just a few miles to the east. The "core" of the building had a small assembly area that included a lab/craft area. In the 1978/1979 school year, I attended 5th grade there. My classroom with teacher Mrs. Betty Smith was located in the southwest corner of that building. It just breaks my heart to see it completely destroyed. Not too far away from this location, near the top of Lake Ave, my mother, a 60-year resident of Altadena, lost her current home of last 36 years.
Thank you so much for this excellent and clear video about the process involved in this massive clean up. With best wishes to all involved, from England,
Respect and love to those fire crews <3
This same amount of time after the fires in Maui it was already a distant memory and no one said another word about it! Why are these people in LA so much more special?
This is heartbreaking!!! I cannot imagine....😢 Thank you for posting -- I wondered how folks were dealing with the aftermath
Typically our fire season peaks in october, January is unheard of in my memory. I evaced for the 2004 and 07 fires in san diego
Why do they operate with their windows and doors open. I would think that they have them shut with all the toxic material.
The deadliest fire started right out back of my apartment. I was spared only by the freeway acting like a giant firebreak. I was looking forward to the ultra short commute to do some demo work but then I heard some of those guys were pulling seven 12s or even in some cases seven 18s, and will continue to do so for the next two years. I could use some overtime but that’s insane.
Thank you for those information,still hard to see 😢😢😢🙏🙏🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Devastation, so depressing
Every Home need to have a Fire water sprinkler protection outside their residence, they have to build tanks buried to the ground and must be filled all year long as full It must be supported by battery power to make sure' it will function
It still blows my mind that so many plants survived this extreme fire. It's also mind blowing to think that something that has been there for so long will soon look like it was never there 😢
