1
00:00:00,247 --> 00:00:01,530
(fire crackling)

2
00:00:01,530 --> 00:00:04,640
- In California, the fire seasons really never end.

3
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:05,940
They just slow down a bit.

4
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,250
^Our goal is to go in, put the fire out if we have to,

5
00:00:09,250 --> 00:00:12,270
^or let the fire burn if it's actually advantageous to do so

6
00:00:12,270 --> 00:00:13,923
^so that training can continue.

7
00:00:14,479 --> 00:00:16,043
- [Firefighter] (giving instructions) Here we go.

8
00:00:16,730 --> 00:00:18,140
- Obviously life and property

9
00:00:18,140 --> 00:00:20,030
is the most important thing for us

10
00:00:20,170 --> 00:00:21,640
to make sure that we take care of.

11
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:22,770
Secondly is to ensure

12
00:00:22,770 --> 00:00:24,800
that the Marine Corps continue training,

13
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:26,590
that's our mission here is to ensure

14
00:00:26,590 --> 00:00:30,093
that the Marine Corps is as lethal as they are at any time.

15
00:00:31,016 --> 00:00:33,440
(radios beeping)
We make direct contact

16
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,760
with the fire and suppress the fire

17
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:36,990
with water or with hand tools

18
00:00:36,990 --> 00:00:38,880
or if we perhaps go indirect,

19
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:40,530
well, we can take a stance

20
00:00:40,530 --> 00:00:43,950
maybe off of a road slightly in front of or behind the fire

21
00:00:44,210 --> 00:00:47,230
and do things like put in preparatory line

22
00:00:47,450 --> 00:00:49,850
or actually fight fire with fire

23
00:00:49,910 --> 00:00:52,750
and dragging fire along roads to suppress the fuel

24
00:00:52,750 --> 00:00:54,300
in front of the fire so, when it gets to it,

25
00:00:54,300 --> 00:00:58,143
it's choked out and the fire becomes an issue no more.
