Random Ramblings: Aerial Wildland Firefighting

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.

A December 6th report from WBFF Fox 45 in Baltimore about a large brush fire in northern Baltimore that is currently impacting nearby schools, interstates, local roads. I lived in Baltimore a few decades ago but not near where the brush fire is. Thanks to my friends at the B10 NJ Wildland Fire Page for alerting me to this fire.
