It is with a heavy heart that I offer my condolences to the families, friends, colleagues, and all who loved the three wildland firefighters that died yesterday fighting a wildfire near Twsip, Washington. I understand the four firefighters are injured, at least one critically, prayers for the injured and their families. See this Seattle Times article (last updated August 20th at 7AM PDT) for more information on this tragedy, a map of the area, some fire photos, and coverage of other wildfires.
RIP
I have blogged about aerial wildland firefighting since 2009. I am not a firefighter and am not a pilot, just an interested bystander who wants to learn more and share what I learn here. Join me here as I blog on the aircraft and the pilots who fight wildland fires from the air in support of crews on the ground. I also blog on concerns affecting fire crews on the ground as well as other aviation and meteorology issues. Learn what it takes to do jobs that are staffed by the best of the best.
