Saving a Classic Car During the 2024 BC Wildfires

Set during the 2024 British Columbia forest fires, this episode begins with an IROC Z28 sitting directly in the wildfire’s path in Eagle Bay. As evacuation traffic builds and smoke fills the sky, Dale Kristensen rushes to haul the classic car out before it’s lost for good. What looks like a junkyard Camaro quickly turns into a high-pressure rescue under real wildfire conditions. Back at the farm, Avery Shoaf steps in to diagnose a diesel tractor that won’t start — breaking down fuel delivery issues, compression concerns, and battery swaps in a hands-on mechanical fix. But after surviving the fire and getting the equipment running, the biggest twist comes last — the rescued IROC Z28 doesn’t stay where you think it will. 00:00 – Fire, Panic & a Car That Should’ve Been Left Behind 01:01 – Escaping the Wildfire With the IROC 07:32 – The Tractor That Wouldn’t Start 12:17 – We Finally Get It Running 13:26 – The Twist: I’m Giving It Away _______________________ Welcome to Dirty Work Studios — the home for extreme jobs, heavy machines, and the people tough enough to run them.
