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.

Watershed Wildfire (Los Padres Ntl. Forest 1958)
About a week ago, Rambling Chief made this post about three historical wildfire documentaries that are now freely available at the FedFlix video archive. I believe that history is important, so I am going to make individual posts of these three videos, in chronological order. This is video is about a wildfire that burned in 1958 in the Los Padres National Forest in California, dubbed the Watershed Fire. I'll post the next video in a few days, so stay tuned. Or, you can visit RamblingChiefs via the link above to watch all three.
Allow about 20 minutes to watch this video.
Added on June 15, 2016: I don't think that either the link or the embedded video on this article is working. Over the next several days, I'll try to take some time to get new links for you. Please be patient.
