For those w/o a Google account, this is worthless as it requires a sign-in to verify age.

He’s involved somehow with the fires in California. That’s my best guess.

The link at the top takes you to a video showing the Berkeley firefighters going to help in the Santa Rosa fire. They are filming their experience as they go through it.

I found it very interesting. Even fire fighters couldn't believe what they were seeing.

From an earlier FR thread (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3595236/posts); the video from this source is not protected.

A group of Berkeley firefighters was called out to help fight the Tubbs Fire early Monday morning. They thought it was a "large grass fire," but arrived in Santa Rosa to find hundreds of homes and businesses burned. This video was taken and produced by a Berkeley firefighter. Media: Berkeley Fire Department

Watch as Berkeley firefighters arrived in Santa Rosa, stunned by scope of Tubbs Fir

See my #9 above for the original video from BFD. YouTube thought it had to be age restricted for some unknown reason.

Really? I just copied the URL from YouTube. I’m using my phone so I guess I have a Google account.

My guess is SR stands for Santa Rosa but then who
the hell knows since the poster didn’t explain

If he’s in Berkeley he’s no where near the fires. Santa Rosa is further north and west and across the Bay

Yes, it's a video of Berkeley firemen arriving to help fight the fire at Santa Rosa and being gobsmacked by the extent of it.

Today, driving from Marin into San Francisco, we passed four four trucks returning home (two from Torrance, one from El Segundo, and one from Redondo Beach). I saluted them, but I don't think they saw me.

I can see how that vid, of so many homes destroyed, and the firefighters stunned, could be “difficult” for a youngster. It put a knot in MY stomach...

Dramatic video shows arriving Berkeley firefighters stunned by Santa Rosa fire
PRESS DEMOCRAT STAFF
BY PRESS DEMOCRAT STAFF | October 18, 2017, 12:21PM
| Updated 1 hour ago.

A video shot by a Berkeley crew dispatched to the Tubbs fire in Santa Rosa shows just how shocking the scene was early Monday, Oct. 9.

Told they were responding grass fire, the strike team was amazed by what they saw - instead structures burning all around them

“Look at this, man, all kinds of structures are burning,” one firefighter could be heard saying. “Are you serious?,” asked another in disbelief.

The fires that have burned through Sonoma and Napa counties have destroyed thousands of structures and killed at least 42.

See the jaw-dropping video below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rdk4d74j3p8
