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.

Helitankers and more from the Station Fire
This video is just over 7 minutes with shots of two helitankers loading retardant from dip tanks at what looks like a mobile retardant base. But the footage is more that shots of helitankers filling their belly tanks, there is some awesome photography of groundcrews and airtankers interspersed with the footage of the helitankers filling their bellies.
