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.

NJ wildfire activity, May 8: videos
The video is from the ABC news affiliate (channel 6) in Philly. They reported 50% containment at 11 PM on May 8. Note that they are reporting that wind (gusts up to 40 mph) grounded the aircraft this afternoon. Something I myself heard when I was listening to the online scanner streams this afternoon.
Thanks to the webmaster of the NJFFS Section B10 webpage for the links!
