It is supremely fucking stupid to drive through a fire like that. Your engine can stall out very easily due to lack of oxygen. My understanding is that these people were not aware of how close things were, and it was their only avenue out. Pays to plan ahead in this case. If you have an alternate route though, take it. NEVER try going through a forest fire if you can possibly avoid it.
It's so surreal to see just miles of entire forest literally on fire, like some hellish landscape.

[QUOTE=Aetna;48681265]Sometimes you have no choice.[/QUOTE] Yeah pretty much this, the guy had to evacuate and all the roads led through the fire. So risk driving through it or risk being burnt. If there's enough oxygen for the fire though there's probably enough for your engine to burn the fuel.
It sucks living in Cailfornia right now
Now arriving in Hell.
I HAD TWO FIELD FIRE NEAR MY HOUSE FUCK THIS DROUGHT
Can you guys imagine how disgusting his air filter(s) is going to be after that?
It's actually kind of beautiful in my opinion.
[QUOTE=psychofox67;48683026]I HAD TWO FIELD FIRE NEAR MY HOUSE FUCK THIS DROUGHT[/QUOTE] During August I would just look out my window and at any time I could see at least 2 fires burning in the San Fernando Vally/Grape Vine area.
God, where is my el nino!
Looks straight out of a movie, fucking fireblasts scorching out of the ground and shit.
Also, don't use high beam (more glare).

[QUOTE=Aetna;48681265]Sometimes you have no choice.[/QUOTE] Yeah, but choosing not to evacuate after an evacuation order is issued is another story. (though the author of this video says they did not receive notice and they left more than 4 hours after everybody else)
