How they start fires <\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m a squad leader on Garden Valley Helitech. We\u2019re looking at a PSD machine, or a plastic sphere dispenser. The PSD balls are ping pong balls, which you can see sitting on the box there. It\u2019s filled with balls. The balls then come through the shoots and then they\u2019re injected. The balls are full of potassium permanganate and then it\u2019s injected with glycol and that chemical reaction creates fire.<\/strong> We like to shoot for a 20-30 second ignition time in best case scenario. If we can\u2019t get that we\u2019re shooting for up to 20, and hopefully that\u2019s good enough time for us to be able to fly low and slow, drop balls and ignite fire the way we want to do it.<\/p>\n

Like I said, it comes through the shoots, it goes into this device, it\u2019s injected with glycol, and then the balls will fall out of the helicopter, if you may, and then it hits the ground, and then the fires will begin.<\/p>\n

31:56 mins <\/strong>These balls should ignite in roughly about 15 seconds because of the low RHs [?] and how hot it is. That ball took exactly 17 seconds to ignite, so that’s right what we’re looking. Free fall, and the balls will come through the hopper, come through the shoots, be injected with glycol, and then it just drops out right between the skids and then the balls free float to the ground. If there\u2019s receptive fuel that it lands in then it will ignite.<\/strong> Just assume if it\u2019s 1,000 acres, you could go from anywhere between 1,000 balls and 20,000 balls just depending on how effective it\u2019s been and how receptive the fuels are.<\/p>\n

It is strategic<\/em>. I don\u2019t want you to get confused with that. It\u2019s strategic in the fact that the firing boss in the front seat is watching how receptive the balls are being, and then we can adjust like I said earlier in the back seat, we can adjust the speed of the balls and the rate of the balls coming out. Basically, if it doesn\u2019t need a lot then we\u2019re not going to drop very many balls and if it needs a lot we can really lay down a lot of balls.<\/p>\n

Humidities rise and we have to inject more glycol and therefore it’s going to be a hotter batch if you may, and then those balls ignite per whether if that makes sense. So, it’s all relative to the weather.<\/p>\n

33:16 mins<\/strong> Mike Morales: I don’t know if they’re starting the fires down in Australia with these. They are just another weapon we’ve come across. I found tons of weapons where they’re starting these fires with different kinds of techniques like backfire drops. When you’re looking at these fires there’s a lot of strange things going on. Great balls of fire that’s just another technique they could be using and getting away with it.<\/strong> I showed you the crazy fly pass in fact somebody sent me an e-mail today that did a little more research on those flight patterns I had. I’ll dig that up for tomorrow night. Crazy stuff going on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
