  1. January 4th, 2006 was a pretty good birthday for me. Hoping the same for you tonight. 🤘
  2. WOW. Blown coverage / slip? and wide open!
  3. Lost of reports via google or other search engine.... Here's one for you. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2025/01/08/hollywood-hills-sunset-fire-california/77560918007/
  4. They can draft or tandem draft, but like @wood said earlier, those engines may have been depleted of their hose lines. Drafting (suctioning) requires hard suction hoses (so they don't collapse under the pressure of the suction) and can be manpower intensive and going up hills, requires quite a bit of large diameter hoselines (usually 3" or greater) This was a conflagration that overloaded personnel and resources. Eventually you have to protect lives and and try to limit damage. Set up a perimeter and try to protect exposures. 100mph Santa Ana winds plus the fire creating it's own firestorm and this is the result. Loss of a whole community. If you live in or near ATX, this is similar to what happened with Steiner Ranch (much smaller scale) on Labor Day in 2011.
  5. Air space around wildfire operations become restricted air space. Must get permission from the Air Boss (lead aircraft/ see above) to enter the airspace.
  6. Yep. Most likely Canadian birds and crews as the superscoopers are a Bombadier and DeHavilland product built in BC and Alberta. The USFS is supposed to have some but these are most likely the two that LA County Fire has on seasonal lease during wildfire season. As the call sign dictates, this is the Air Boss aircraft that directs the tankers for air drops.
  7. Someone here is claiming to have been her girl toy out on the road. Still waiting for pics/Love's Truck Stop food receipts for confirmation.
  8. Still going to have a basic rudimentary understanding of it due to being around the other members that are the explosives expert. Just a basic kitchen demo class would gain more knowledge than what was put together in the back of that Tesla (sorry, I still can't consider that a truck). Would be nice to have some DNA to confirm that is who they say it is/was.
  9. Bastard. Glad that fucker is dead. These people were lucky...
  10. I've watched the last play multiple X's now and Mukuba read that perfectly pre- and post snap. He motioned for McDonald to move up on his man to take away the bubble and then looked back perfectly to move to the ball and get there first. Great read and reaction!! 🤘
  11. Or let the kickoff kicker, ( who has a better leg) kick FG's from here on out. When it matters, Bert is a choke artist
  12. Don't leave it up to spongebob....and if we do, get the ball to the left hash
