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.

Nor'easter in Massachusetts
I would be remiss to leave out Massachusetts. The nor'easter has hung around Massachusetts and eastern Rhode Island since late Saturday night. Some areas have eight inches of rain. Those of you interested in some media coverage, may want to go here or here.
