Controlled burn gone wrong

Not a fan of his channel, but wanted to watch how it went down. Smart thing would have been to start doing doughnuts and get the dirt flying- would have possibly put the tire fire out first. Another brilliant plan when doing a "controlled" burn would to have had fire controlling measures on board..... don't care for the Bowmars and won't lose any sleep tonight thinking of them.

My hunting buddies and I said the same thing… super fishy. I feel like he may have done it on purpose. And I may be wrong but wouldn’t using a leaf blower on it make it worse?
I haven't used it, but a lot of people say leaf blowers work really well to blow the fire out. I have used a push mower before, and it does work well to put out the flames.

If someone from the insurance company suspected fraud, how would they investigate? Do it themselves or involve law enforcement?

In my buddies case his truck caught on fire while we were at his cabin in the middle of nowhere WV. A rep from the insurance co. called both me and my wife, who were the only witnesses and questioned us separately about the details. They pushed back a little but, eventually paid his claim. My buddy was like 5K upside down on the vehicle, between that and his increased insurance premiums I'm sure it hurt a little.

Just curious. Not an insurance person. But seems you would need a separate rider or coverage for starting a fire like that. I could totally see the insurance company saying it's not an accident since he started the fire. (I didn't watch it so assuming). I know listing to the the THP friend who works for Ohio. He stated the state will help you prep. But won't lite the match.

There's actually a subreddit for sarahbowmar that basically is just filled with examples of her being kind of a crappy human. Worth reading through if you find things like that funny.

Man I just checked it out what a cesspool.

I'm not sure what is worse commentary on the absurdity that is influencer culture. That people as dreadful as the bowmars can exist and make a living off of spewing their crap into the ether, or that an entire space exists to make fun of them and tear them down.

I'll just continue to ignore them. Another fine product of the great state of Ohio, thanks Ohio!

I’m sure it would work in some situations and I’m no expert but it just seems like adding oxygen at a rapid rate to a fire only increases the fire.

You are blowing the fire back towards the area that has already burned, so yes you are providing more oxygen, but you are pushing it to an area that has no fuel.

Where the skys are so blue!
As much as I love laughing at somebody with rims and gym muscles trying to put out a fire by feeding it oxygen as the footage switches between multiple camera shots...

I guess it's a reminder to keep a fire extinguisher in your vehicle? Any recommendations for one?

Makes sense in context of being used in the back end of a controlled fire like in the video you shared.
