00:00Megafires are extraordinary fires that devastate large areas.
00:10They're characterized by their intensity, size, duration, an uncontrollable dimension.
00:19This is still the antelope fire.
00:21This is all still antelope.
00:22Yeah.
00:23Wow.
00:23This is where she took hard, got the wind, and then just blew up and went to where it
00:27has to stop.
00:28It goes to where there's nothing.
00:31And this is ridiculous that we let fire burn to where it has to stop.
00:36If a forest fire is correct and it's a low-intensity burn, it actually is a good thing.
00:41It creates an early successional species and a regeneration that is good for wildlife.
00:45Unfortunately, we've seen that time pass.
00:49Wildfires that burn 30 miles in a day and 9 miles wide, 120,000 acres.
00:5610,000, 50,000 acres, something like that, that's in this high severity, it's very difficult
01:02to recover.
01:04In order to understand this modern phenomenon of megafires, we have to look at the current
01:09state of the forest and the man-made contributing factors.
