According to the last update on this wildlandfire hotlist thread the final report on the Owassa Fire was issued on April 9, 2010 at 10:00 hr. The fire is now under control as of 10:00 AM on April 9. The firefighter who was in the ATV accident was seriously injured with a skull fracture. He had successful surgery at a NJ Hospital/Trauma Center where he will remain for a few more days. You will want to read the report that I linked to for more information.
Let us pause for a moment to offer our thoughts and prayers for this injured firefighter.
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.
