Indeed, never try to outrun a bush fire. Stand your ground, make yourself look big, and intimidate it by staring it down.

So, was that a fire truck with the camera? Looked like it was dumping water on itself a couple different times. Was there someone in it? How scary!
What am I missing? As far as I can tell this is a great example of several groups of people successfully outrunning a fire.
you’re watching a video of a fire truck being by overwhelmed by a bushfire without the fire suppression systems they would be dead

After watching, it seems like running away worked. What am I missing?
Nature is frightening, when that town in California was burnt down completely within hours I was kind of shocked, I thought that was a thing of the past
Admiral Cloudberg did an amazing write-up of the Paradise fire. She usually duplicates her Reddit articles on Medium, but I don't think she did with this one 😔
Apparently most of it hasn’t been rebuilt too so…the effects could be permanent in many places
As someone who lives in a colder climate, this was eye opening. New fear unlocked.
Okay but what is the alternative for these people?
Have a bushfire plan and prepare well in advance:

What a dumb thing to say. Did the fire truck and the cop have a plan in the video in the video you linked other than “let’s fucking outrun this brushfire”?
firstly please calm down, there’s no need to be upset
the direction to not outrun a bush fire is for civilians, not people who put themselves in the line of fire as part of their job
Do as I say not as I do. Your advice gets dummer as you continue to explain yourself, you should really consider just not posting.
“People who put themselves in the line of fire as part of their jobs are allowed to run from wildfires, civilians must hunker down”
Actual retard.
