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.

This is the Loma Fire, currently burning in near Santa Cruz, CA. 20% containment, 600 acres. Fire started about 3 AM this morning. See this report on Fox 35 for more information. You will see a tanker dropping retardant near the end of the video. CAL Fire has information on this fire at this site.
